The characteristics of printed fabrics mainly include lightness, softness, good elasticity, good breathability, soft and smooth feel, etc. These characteristics make printed fabrics feel comfortable when worn and suitable for making various clothing and household items. The raw materials of printed fabrics usually include polyester FDY 50D*DTY75D+spandex 40D, which are interwoven on a jet loom through satin weave. After desizing, pre-shrinking, softening and other treatments, the fabric has better breathability and feel.
There are various types of processes for printed fabrics, including ordinary paper transfer printing, water printing (flat screen and round screen), digital direct printing, manual table printing, discharge printing, reduction printing, embossing printing, paint printing, flocking printing, etc. Each process has its own unique characteristics and scope of application. For example, digital direct printing has high resolution and rich colors, which is suitable for a variety of fabrics, but the processing price is high; manual table printing is suitable for complex printing processes, but the development cost and production cycle are long.
In addition, the process problems of printed fabrics also need to be considered. For example, although glue printing has good coverage, it is not very breathable and is suitable for small areas to improve breathability; water-based printing combined with glue can enrich the layers and retain a good feel.
