Printed fabrics are textiles that increase their beauty and functionality by printing patterns on fabrics. There are many ways to make printed fabrics, mainly including digital direct printing, transfer printing, screen printing, etc. Each method has its own unique advantages and disadvantages, suitable for different fabrics and production needs.
Classification and characteristics of printed fabrics
Digital direct printing: This method has rich colors and clear details, suitable for small batch production, but the production cost is relatively high.
Transfer printing: By printing the dye on paper and then transferring it to the textile through heat treatment, it is suitable for fabrics such as polyester, but the plate making cost is high and the permeability is poor.
Screen printing: Including rotary screen printing and flat screen printing, the former is suitable for large-scale production, and the latter is suitable for fine patterns and small batch production.
Pigment printing: Printing with pigments is suitable for various fiber textiles, but the feel is not good and the friction fastness is not high.
