OEcotextiles Indulgent yet responsible fabrics Printing – part 2 O ECOTEXTILES (AND TWO SISTERS ECOTEXTILES) 3 COMMENTS JANUARY 13, 2012 Bear with me – I’ll eventually get to the environmental aspects of printing – including digital printing. But I think it’s important to know the basic steps and processes in order to be able to understand green claims. So there will still be a Printing – part 3 before we get to the environmental topics. Specific fiber materials and dye types interact with each other in well defined ways, and it is these interactions that determines the best composition of a printing paste or ink. The preparation of this paste is one of the most important steps in printing. (note: paste and ink seem to be interchangeable names for the same substances). It requires a set of special characteristics – one of the most important is that the paste be viscous (like paint or pudding). This quality is called “flow”. The choice of an agent to create this flow (called a thickening agent) is a critical component. In addition, each printing method we talked about last week (flat bed, screen or rotary), as well as the nature and sequence of fixation and aftertreatment steps requires a specific kind of printing ink or paste. For direct printing, a printing paste is prepared by dissolving the dyes in hot water to which is added urea and a solvent (ethylene glycol, thioethylene glycol, sometimes glycerine or a similar substance – and sometimes water). This solution is stirred into a thickener that is easily removed by washing.

Every scratch on the surface of a roller prints a fine line in the cloth, and too much care, therefore, cannot be taken to remove, as far as possible, all grit and other hard Download 221.2 Kb.
