[printed fabric] what are the advantages and disadvantages of printed fabric
Printed fabric in many fabrics is a more characteristic one, in the clothing production, in the home textile products can see their shadow, so what are the characteristics of the types of printed fabrics?
Features of printed fabric
The characteristics of printed fabrics are different according to different raw materials.
1: The printed fabric made of polyester FDY bright 50D * dty75d + spandex 40d is interwoven on the jet loom through satin weave. The fabric is light, soft, elastic, comfortable and glossy.
2: Printed fabric made of polyester low elastic yarn is woven on air-jet loom with satin plain texture. After desizing, preshrinking and softening, the fabric has good air permeability and soft and smooth handle.
Types of printed fabrics
1. Transfer printing
First, the pigment is printed on the paper to make transfer printing paper, and then the color is transferred to the fabric through high temperature (heating and pressing on the back of the paper). It is generally used for chemical fiber fabrics, which is characterized by bright color, delicate layer, realistic pattern and strong artistry. But at present, this process is only suitable for a few synthetic fibers such as polyester.
Transfer printing process is simple, small investment, flexible production, currently more popular in the market... But to tell you the truth, this transfer printing and other types of printing, the price is a little higher, but there is a certain level.
2. Discharge printing
Discharge printing: the ground color is dyed with a dye which is not resistant to discharge agent. After drying, the printing paste is printed with a fancy dye containing discharge agent or both. During the post-treatment, the ground color dye at the printing place is destroyed and faded, forming a white pattern on the ground or a color pattern formed by the dyeing of the fancy dye. Also known as white or color pull. Can it make clothes look like they've been washed? The color of the clothes seems to have been washed out a lot, mottled ~ ~ in fact, this is the pull-out printing. The principle of pull-out printing is to pull out the color of the fabric and fiber, so as to turn it into another lighter color, which is better than the washing effect. It is a cool printing for men's wear!
3. Reduction printing
In this process, the chemical corrosion resistance of different fibers in the interwoven or blended fabric is different, and a burning agent is applied to remove one of the fibers locally by printing, and other fibers are retained to form a translucent pattern. It is also called burn out printing or burnt out printing.
4. Wrinkle printing
The chemical which can make the fiber expand or shrink is applied on the fabric by printing method. Through proper treatment, the difference of expansion or shrinkage between the printed fiber and the non printed fiber can be produced, so as to obtain the product with regular concave convex pattern on the surface. For example, pure cotton printing seersucker with caustic soda as expansion agent. It is also called bump printing.
5. Flat screen printing
The printing mould is a polyester or nylon screen (pattern) fixed on a square frame with hollow pattern. The pattern on the pattern can pass through the color paste, and the non pattern can be closed with a polymer film. When printing, the pattern presses the fabric tightly, and the color paste is filled on the pattern, which is scraped back and forth with a scraper to make the color paste reach the surface of the fabric through the pattern. Flat screen printing has the advantages of low production efficiency, wide adaptability and flexible application, which is suitable for small batch and variety production.
6. Rotary screen printing
The printing mold is a cylindrical nickel screen with hollow pattern, which is installed above the rubber guide belt in a certain order and can rotate synchronously with the guide belt. When printing, the color paste is input into the screen and stored at the bottom of the screen. When the rotary screen rotates with the guide belt, the scraper tightly pressed on the bottom of the screen and the pattern net generate relative scraping pressure, and the color paste reaches the surface of the fabric through the pattern on the screen.
Rotary screen printing is a kind of continuous processing with high production efficiency, which has the advantages of both roller and flat screen printing, but it has some limitations in pattern fineness and printing color. Remember: there are some limitations in the color selection of rotary screen printing.
7. Pigment printing
Pigment printing is also called pigment printing. Because pigment is a non water soluble colorant and has no affinity for fiber, its coloration depends on the coating of high molecular compound (adhesive) which can form film and the adhesion to fiber. Pigment printing can be used in any fiber textile processing, and has more advantages in the printing of blended and interwoven fabrics. The process is simple, the color spectrum is wide, the flower shape and outline are clear, but the handle is not good, and the rubbing fastness is not high.
8. Water jet printing
The so-called water-based pulp is a kind of water-based pulp, which is not strong in hand feeling and covering power when printed on clothes. It is only suitable for printing on light color fabrics. The price is relatively flat, so it belongs to a lower grade printing type.
But it also has an advantage, because it will not affect the original texture of the fabric, so it is more suitable for large area printing patterns. Features soft handle and bright color. But slurry has a big disadvantage. The color of water slurry should be lighter than that of cloth. If the color of cloth is deeper, the water slurry can't cover it at all.
9. Latex printing
The emergence and wide application of mucilage after water slurry, because of its excellent coverage, it can also print any light color on dark clothes, and has a certain gloss and three-dimensional sense, making ready-made clothes look more high-grade, so it has been rapidly popularized, and almost every printed T will use it. But because it has a certain hardness, it is not suitable for large-area field patterns. For large-area patterns, it is better to use water slurry to print, and then decorate with some glue. This can not only solve the problem of hard glue in large-area, but also highlight the sense of hierarchy of patterns; There is another way is to steal the large area of the field pattern, make a rotten effect, but always wear a little hard, so it is better to combine water and glue to solve the problem of large area printing. It has smooth and dumb surface, soft, thin and environment-friendly, and can be stretched. Generally speaking, mucilage printing is more commonly used, such as leisure brands such as "Yichun" are basically using mucilage. Forget to remind, both glue printing and water slurry printing can be washed. Comparing the two prices, mucilage is more affordable than water slurry.
10. Ink printing
At first glance, ink and mucilage are not very different, but when mucilage is printed on smooth fabrics such as windbreaker, the color fastness is generally very poor, and it can be scraped off with fingernails, but ink can overcome this shortcoming. Therefore, when making windbreaker, it is usually printed with ink, with bright color and vivid image. Some time ago, there was a wave of head prints in the market. I don't know if you have noticed. Generally speaking, only ink printing can produce that effect for clear and super realistic printing. Sometimes, you can sprinkle some gold and silver powder on the ink, which makes the decoration effect better
The price of ink printing is not very clear, but the price of printing depends on how many colors are used. There are many colors for ink printing. Maybe the price should be cheaper.
11. Thick plate slurry
Thick plate paste is derived from the glue, it is like glue repeatedly printed a lot of layers, it can achieve a very neat three-dimensional effect, generally speaking, the process requirements are relatively high, so the general printing small factory is not good, some even do not have this technology, let alone good printing, but it is now popular all over the world! Generally, it is suitable for sports and leisure. In terms of design, numbers, letters, geometric patterns, lines, etc. are generally used. The lines should not be too small. Some people have a unique way to print flower patterns, which can be seen in autumn and winter leather or thicker fabrics.
12. Stone slurry
If the mortar is neat, then the stone mortar is random. Have you noticed the footprints you just left when you walk on the muddy road? It's almost the same effect. It's like pieces or strips of stone or mud shape. It's a relatively new kind of printing. It's more common in casual men's wear.
13. Foaming
Bubble pulp, as the name suggests, is the pulp that bubbles up, which is also changed by glue. First, the prepared pulp is printed on the clothing material, and then processed by high-temperature machine, the pattern bubbles up. The three-dimensional feeling is very good, and it is a little soft. But after wearing and washing for many times, the standing effect of the clothes will slowly disappear and flatten.
14. Nylon paste
Nylon pulp, it is said that nylon pulp has better tension, probably because it has less elasticity than nylon, so it has a thin feel.
15. Gutta percha
Gutta percha is a kind of product that can be more three-dimensional than thick plate. It is generally used to make gutta percha seal and is mostly used in men's wear. When used in women's clothing, it will be used to shape the shape of flowers. This year, it can also be used to create a three-dimensional Mickey image~
The disadvantage of gutta percha is that it's easy to break off if you make a big effort.
16. Gel
Gel is a kind of transparent and elastic printing variety like gel. The price is a little bit more expensive. You can understand that the ordinary ribbon with similar texture may be 0.3-0.5 yuan per meter, but if you add 0.2-0.3cm gel in the middle of the ribbon, its price may go to 0.8-1.5 yuan.
17. Planting beads
Bead planting is a kind of technology with high requirements. Now only a few factories can do it well, and most factories do not have this kind of technology.
Planting beads is also called toothbrush flower. The effect of the finished product is like toothbrush whiskers standing up. It is said that a flower needs to be printed 20 or 30 times before it can be printed well. The height of the finished product can reach about 0.3cm. Its top is bead shaped and can be used for other colors. It seems that it is supported by beads, so it is also called planting beads.
18. Flocking and gluing
Embossing is to make a pattern of the mold, and then hot pressed in velvet or special glue, so that the shape of the pattern.
Flocking and gluing are easy to fall off from clothes, which is not so popular now.
19. Hand painted
The effect of hand painting is similar to that of printing, but it is more flexible and free, which can be regarded as the same as painting on clothes.
