=> Textile Printing ( All Over Print)

  => Pigment Print

You can color textiles during the yarn, fiber or fabric stage. Interior fabrics are overwhelmingly colored with dyes. The majority of textile dyes are particles which are completely dissolved or dispersed within water or other carriers in order to penetrate the fiber. In order to dye the fiber, the dye needs to penetrate the fiber. The dye should either be mixed with the fiber chemically or locked in the fiber.

There’s a way to add color to textiles that doesn’t use dyes. Pigment printing refers to the use of insoluble color particles which are adhered to the fabric surface using adhesive, resin or binding agents. These fabrics, particularly when the designs have been applied by hand, are often called painted fabric.

Pigment prints are less expensive to produce than other types of print. They don’t need any additional processing such as steaming and soaping.

Because pigments are held onto mechanically, no dyeing is required. However, any color can be printed on any fiber. Pigments give off bright, rich colors and good lightfastness.

Fabrics for Pigment Prints

Cellulosic fabric is often printed with pigments. These materials include cotton duck, cotton canvas and polyester.

Fabrics in the top-end category are often done by hand. Designers of fabric will often use silk to create luxurious backgrounds.

Sisal rugs also get painted often. These patterns break with the more subtle neutral tones.

It doesn’t always mean better to be thinner

With pigments, you can achieve many effects. We’ve seen pigment prints that are as high as 1/4 inch above the fabric. Others are barely above the fabric’s surface.

The general rule is that the more thick (or raised) the pigment design, the greater chance of cracking, chipping or crocking. The opposite is true. People who are less noticeable and more even with the fabric’s surface wear less quickly.

Problems with Crocking

These coloring compounds are more susceptible to crocking, because the pigment is attached to the fabric surface, and not absorbed into it like dye. Even mild abrasion could sometimes cause the color to be lost.

How strong a pigment will resist deterioration will depend on how good the glue is and what pigments are present in the area.

It is possible for a pigment to crock onto fabric in adjacent areas, making it appear as if it has bled. This is especially true with hand-painted silks. After this happens, it is difficult to make corrections.

Spot Cleaning – Difficulties

It is vital to realize that the binding agent (or resin) is the glue that holds the color on the fabric. Solvents can cause softening, or even complete dissolution of many resins.

Once the resins have become solubilized, pigments can dislodge and spread to areas they don’t belong.

If solvents are needed to remove stains, it is crucial that painted areas and pigmented areas not be agitated. The pigments can be stabilized when the solvent dries off and the resins reharden.

Solvents containing surfactants shouldn’t ever be used. These residues may not fully dry the resins, making it impossible for them to reset.

Professional Cleaning

It is possible to clean fabrics with pigment designs using water-based methods. This requires the same pre-testing as for all fabrics.

To avoid surprises, here are some warning rules:

• Make sure that you pre-test the design with all colors. It is not uncommon for one of the colors to be acceptable while the adjacent color may cause problems.
• Avoid dry cleaning solvents such as pre-sprays and detergents.
• Avoid excessive agitation in pigmented zones.
• After cleaning, dry the fabric quickly.

  => Burn Out Print

Nowadays Print is a very very important thing for this textile sector. Print makes clothes attractive. We can’t imagine a dress or clothes without Print. The printing sector is also expanding and changing every day with the fashion trend. We are discovering new techniques and qualities of print day by day. We are discovering new techniques and qualities of print day by day. Print technology is growing with the Clothes industry. 99% of fashion clothes now must have a print on them. One of the rare, critical and costly Prints is burnout printing. A garment is simply treated with an acid that strips any natural fibres. It leaves behind only synthetic fibres such as polyester. Depending upon the fabric content and the weight of the T-shirt, the Print might appear a bit thin or leave the dyed synthetic fibres behind. For Burnout printing, we need the flatbed printing machine. The printing way of this Print is the same as a normal flatbed print, and just printers use acid type chemical instead of colour. We can do this Print only some selected fabric. This Print is not possible on 100% cotton fabric. The best composition for this burnout print is 60% polyester and 40% cotton fabric. This Print is also possible on 60% cotton and 40% polyester. The main technique of burnout print. The cotton portion of the fabric with Acid / Chemical. When the chemical flows over the fabric and comes into contact with the cotton portion,  then it comes out of the cotton by chemical reaction. Actually, cotton is the victim here. 

  => Flock Print

There are many ways to make a flock.FibersYou can cut them to the right lengths by using a machine that is suitable for this purpose. With wool fibres and cotton, it is often prepared by grinding. Lengths as short as 0.3mm (0.013in) are possible. The flock can be dyed, or it may remain uncoloured. For the base fabric, a suitable material is selected. The flock may also be composed of different fibres. The base fabric can be coated on both sides with a suitable adhesive resin or applied locally in a printed design. WhenPrintIt is best to use a method that transfers a thicker film. Rotary screen printing with the Aljaba or Stork system, or on a smaller basis.Flat-screen printing.

Flock Printed Fabric

The resin adhesive used must adhere firmly to the substrate being printed, but equally so, must be capable of anchoring the flock firmly once it is attached. The resin film must be flexible, have a soft handle and possess good resistance to washing.

Methods Of Flock Application

Compressed Air

This method requires special spray guns but is very simple to use. Spray guns come in various sizes, which are used mostly by handicraft and professional painters and decorators. The spray guns will apply the flocks in a chaotic state and won’t produce a velvet-like effect.

Shaking

The flocks can be applied by simply shaking, dusting, or spraying the flock directly with a hand tool or a fine sieve. The fabric can be shaken while it is being sprinkled. By attaching a wooden rod with a hexagonal cross-section to the shaft of a small electric motor and allowing it to touch the reverse side of your printed cloth, you can achieve this effect in smaller areas of fabric. The individual flocks can be attached randomly to the flocked effect by shaking, as with the previous method.

The Electrostatic Method

1. Germany has performed a lot on this system. Two pole-plates are connected to the high voltage generator. One pole is earthed while the other one is effectively insulated. Flocks between these pole plates will Endeavour to close the circuit and spring in an intense to-and-fro motion from one plate towards the other, causing them to become aligned vertically. Flocks are effectively ‘shotted’ into the resin-printed fabric vertically and then adhered to the printed area. Vertical adhesion ensures velvet-like effects. The collection device removes any excess flock from the treatment area and returns it to its original location for reuse.

  => Puff Print

To give your design the desired effect, you can either give it an enhanced effect or restrict it to certain elements. Your imagination is limitless, and you can create any design you wish.

The ink is still a plastisol base, but there is also a foaming agent. This expands when heated and causes the ink’s 3D effect. A 3D effect can make your logo or design stand to be more visible to the public. It can also be used to create unique, casual designs.

  => Foil Print 

Foil printing is a speciality printing process that uses heat, pressure and metallic papers. This can be used to create shiny designs or graphics on different materials. Foil printing gives the area a unique look and is rapidly becoming the preferred method for printing in many industries.

This is a technique that involves the application of metallic foil or pigment to a hard surface. The foil is heated and then melted. This causes the foil to stick to the surface. The design of the die is preserved, no matter how small or intricate, and it will remain there forever.

You can choose from a variety of finishes and colours when foil printing. They are available in many colours and effects. These include holographic and iridescent, which help to recreate the appearance of precious metals.

Some manuscripts that were ever created used real gold leaves to decorate intricate calligraphy and items such as statues and amulets.
