There are many kinds of polyester bolting cloth printing, and we will continue to introduce it to you today.

Third, anti-dye printing;

Anti-dye printing includes a two-stage process:

(1) printing a chemical or waxy resin on the white fabric that prevents or prevents the dye from penetrating into the fabric;

(2) Pieces of dyed fabric. The purpose is to dye the base color to bring out the white pattern. Note that the results are the same as for the printed fabric, however the method of achieving this result is the opposite of the discharge printing.

The application of the anti-dye printing method is not common, and it is generally used when the ground color cannot be discharged. Most anti-dye printing is achieved by methods such as handicrafts or hand-printing (such as wax-proof printing) compared to large-scale production. Because discharge printing and anti-dye printing produce the same printing effect, they are often not identified by visual inspection.

Fourth, paint printing;

The use of paints rather than dyes to produce prints has been so extensive that it has begun to be used as a stand-alone printing method. Paint printing is direct printing with a coating, which is often referred to as dry printing to distinguish it from wet printing (or dye printing).

Paint printing and dye printing can be distinguished by comparing the difference in hardness between the printed and unprinted parts of the same piece of fabric. The paint print area is slightly harder than the unprinted area, and may be a little thicker. If the fabric is printed with a dye, there is no significant difference in hardness between the printed and unprinted portions. Dark paint prints are harder and less flexible than light or light colors. When inspecting a fabric with paint prints, be sure to check all colors, as they may contain both dyes and paint on the same fabric. White paint is also used for printing, and this factor should not be ignored. Paint printing is the most inexpensive printing method in print production because the printing is relatively simple and requires the least amount of processing, usually without steaming and washing. The paint has a bright, rich color that can be used on all textile fibers. Their light fastness and dry fastness are good and even excellent, so they are widely used in decorative fabrics, curtain fabrics and apparel fabrics that require dry cleaning. In addition, the paint hardly produces a large chromatic aberration on different batches of fabric, and the coverage of the undercoat is also good at the time of overprinting.

With continuous washing or dry cleaning, the paint print will gradually fade and the color will become lighter and lighter. This is due to the gradual shedding of the resin binder due to constant rotation and agitation during the cleaning process. Generally, after 20-30 times of cleaning, the printed cloth will have obvious fading. The color fastness is improved because the fabric is treated with a resin and a silicone softener during the finishing process. It is worth noting that dark colors are more susceptible to fading than light or light colors. The paint makes the fabric printing part feel hard, which is not obvious when it is light, but it is very prominent when it is dark. The coating is not particularly resistant to abrasion, especially dark colors. Dark paints should be especially avoided in fabrics such as upholster
