17 printing methods you need to know about textile printing

Pearlescent can be divided into natural and artificial. Artificial pearlescent can be extracted from fish scales. Pearlescent does not require light source to excite, and is acid and alkali resistant and high temperature resistant. Pearlescent printing shows pearl-like soft brilliance, grace and luxury, and has an excellent hand feel. and fastness. Pearlescent paste is suitable for various fiber printing, and can be used alone or with coating. Mix materials to produce colored pearlescent light. In the printing process, it is generally better to use a 60-80 mesh mesh. Luminous printing mainly uses luminescent crystal paste to print on the surface of the fabric, and the luminescent paste is fixed on the fabric through pre-baking and melt-baking. On. Mainly used in polyamide and spandex elastic interwoven products.

Luminous powder is a kind of rare earth metal. It is made into a powder with a fineness of about 1μM. The luminous powder is printed on the fabric using the pigment printing method to form a pattern. After a certain amount of light is passed, the pattern will emit more light.The glow time can reach 8-12 hours, with good luminous effect and excellent feel and fastness. But it is limited to printing on light and medium ground colors.

Foaming three-dimensional printing refers to adding a foaming agent plastic resin to the printing paste. After melting and baking at high temperature, the foaming agent decomposes. When the gas is released, the printing paste expands to form a three-dimensional pattern, and the resin is used to fix the paint. , to obtain the three-dimensional effect of coloring and foaming. According to the process, one is to directly print the foamed pulp, and the other is to use elastic transparent pulp to emboss on the foamed pulp after the foamed pulp is dried and printed.Blow dry and foam at high temperature for molding. Foaming temperature is generally 220C, time is 30 seconds, and 80-100 mesh screen is used for printing.

Microcapsules are composed of an inner core and a capsule coating. The inner core is dye and the capsule coating is gelatin. There are three types of microcapsules: single-core type, multi-core type and composite type. The single-core type contains a dye and the multi-core type. The composite type contains a variety of dyes, and the composite microcapsule dye particles are between 10-30μM.

Water-removing slurry containing matting agent on glossy fabrics, The pigment printing process is used to obtain a partially matte printing effect, with clear light and dark, and a jacquard-like style. Matting paste generally uses titanium dioxide or paint white as a matting agent and a non-yellowing adhesive. Mainly used in satin or twill silk, rayon, synthetic fiber, cellulose fiber knitted fabrics and blended fabrics. It can also be used on calendered fabrics and sample papers.

Put gold or silver powder and special gold and silver powder with better transparency After mixing special paste or adhesive, it is printed on the fabric to form a gold or silver glitter pattern effect.

Scintillation sheet is a vacuum aluminized metal sheet with various colors, thickness 0.008mm-0.1mm, and high temperature resistance. For scintillating sheet printing, choose materials with strong adhesion, transparent film formation, good gloss, which will not affect the glitter gloss and special printing. For printing, make sure the fabric feels soft and has good fastness to achieve a dazzling effect.

Use special gold foil slurry to print on the printing fabric. After the slurry is dry, cover it with aluminum foil and press it at high temperature to get the hot stamping pattern effect. The special gold foil slurry is a thermoplastic resin-based water-based latex slurry with a soft feel and It has good brightness, good fastness and adhesiveness, and can be used on any fabric that can withstand high temperatures of 160°C.

Imitation peach skin printing is to use imported peach skin special pulp (or add paint), through After printing, the surface feels and looks like peach skin. Peach skin pulp has strong hiding power and is more suitable for printing on large areas. It does not expose the ground and does not block the screen. It can be printed on flat screens and rotary screens.

Imitation leather printing uses imitation leather pulp and paint to print on fabrics. After drying and baking, the imitation leather feel and appearance are achieved. Imitation leather pulp has good elasticity and covering power.

Imitation velvet printing is used The gold and silver velvet paste is dried and baked on the fabric to obtain a velvety feel and luster.

Use color deepening paste to print on the color ground, and after drying, you will get a contrasting dark pattern printing effect. The printed fabric does not need to be melted and dried, and has a soft feel and good color fastness.

Gloss paste and paint paste are used to print. The fabric is dried and baked to obtain plastic coating and gloss coating effects on the surface of the fabric

Using the principle of absorbing ultraviolet rays and converting them into energy, photosensitive color-changing materials are applied to printing. The printed products are exposed to sunlight and ultraviolet rays and absorb the energy of sunlight and ultraviolet rays to produce color changes. When the sunlight is lost, After exposure to ultraviolet rays, it immediately returns to its original color using photochromic paste.With microcapsule technology, the fabric can be changed from colorless to colored, from blue to blue-violet, etc.

The thermochromic material is printed on the fabric and changes color repeatedly through the temperature changes of the human body. The thermochromic paste has 15 basic colors, which are colored at low temperature and colorless at high temperature. The colors are mixed with each other.

Use printing method to print the desired pattern on the paper with dye paste, and then attach it to the front of the paper through the fabric. The sublimation properties of the dye are used to transfer the dye on the paper to the surface of the fabric through high temperature and pressing, forming a pattern and color effect. Polyester and nylon fabrics are commonly used for transfer printing.
