What are the printing processes?

There are many kinds of prints, the following are some, * * * reference:

Transfer printing

First, the pigment is printed on paper to make transfer paper, and then the color is transferred to the fabric by high temperature (heating and pressurizing the back of the paper). Generally used in chemical fiber fabrics, it is characterized by bright colors, delicate layers, realistic patterns and strong artistry.

The transfer printing process is simple, the investment is small, the production is flexible, and the price is a little high, but it has a certain grade.

Discharge printing

Select dyes that are not resistant to discharge agents to dye the background color, and after drying, use the background color dyes containing discharge agents or both to print the paste. In the post-processing, the ground color dye at the printing place is destroyed and discolored, and a white pattern or a color pattern formed by dyeing with the ground color dye is formed on the ground color. Also known as line drawing or color painting.

Reduce printing

This process takes advantage of the difference of chemical corrosion resistance of different fibers in interwoven or blended fabrics, and uses burnout agent to partially remove one fiber in the fabric through printing, leaving other fibers to form translucent patterns. Also known as burnt-out printing or burnt-out printing.

Shrink printing

By means of printing, chemical substances that can make the fibers expand or contract are applied locally, and through proper treatment, the fibers in the printed part and the fibers in the non-printed part have differences in expansion or contraction, so as to obtain products with regular concave-convex patterns on the surface. For example, pure cotton printed seersucker is used as bulking agent. Also known as relief printing.
