Paint printing Definition: The process of forming a specific pattern on a fabric using a certain tool using a colorant
of a poorly soluble colored powder.
Common classification: water slurry printing, glue printing, imitation active printing, etc.
Printing principle: The pigment coating is fixed on the surface of the fiber by the action of a binder to form a pattern.
Features: simple process, wide chromatogram, low cost and wide application. Can be used for blended fabrics, but the printed parts feel harder. The color is relatively not bright enough.
Fastness: Dry and wet rubbing is normal, but it is resistant to bleaching and has fast light fastness.
Scope of application: Most fabrics made of natural fiber and chemical fiber can be applied. Printed on both sides.
Crystal Shuttle Textile Note: The quality of paint printing mainly depends on the use of the slurry, that is, the quality of the adhesive, which largely determines the print fastness, hand feeling and environmental safety performance.
1.Water printing
Definition: The process of forming a specific pattern on a fabric using a certain tool with a relatively water-soluble aqueous colorant.
Printing principle: similar to dyeing, the difference is that it is the color required to "dye" a certain area of the fabric into a flower position. The essence is that the colorant adheres to the surface of the fabric by the action of an adhesive.
Features: simple process, low cost, grout, feel is not as hard as printing paste, relatively soft and breathable, can be used for large-area printing, generally printing monochrome or simple and small color separation pattern. The fabric texture can also be seen after printing.
Fastness: Dry and wet rubbing fastness, high resistance to bleaching and perspiration fastness, and improved fastness to rubbing when printed on cotton and linen fabric.
Scope of application: Most fabrics made of natural fiber and chemical fiber can be applied. However, it is only suitable for white or light-colored fabrics. It is not suitable for dark fabrics because it has low coverage and will have a base color.
Crystal Shuttle Textile Note: Water-based printing is widely used in clothing and home textiles, especially in home spinning. Water-printing and reactive printing are two major application categories, and the cost is also different, but it is not easy for consumers to distinguish between the two.
2.Rubber printing
Definition: The process of forming a specific pattern on a fabric using a special tool using a mixture of special 
chemical gels and pigments.
Printing principle: The glue passes through the medium of the gel and firmly adheres to the fabric to form a pattern.
Features: simple process, wide color spectrum, bright colors, three-dimensional printing, good performance. The cost is higher than that of water slurry, which can be used for dark fabrics, but the printed parts are harder to handle and have poorer air permeability, which is not suitable for large-area printing.
Fastness: dry and wet rubbing bottom is low, but resistant to bleaching, high perspiration fastness, and certain tensile ductility.
Scope of application: Most fabrics made of natural fiber and chemical fiber can be applied. Dark, light-colored fabrics can be used, but not for large-area printing.
Crystal Shuttle Textile Note: According to the different ductility and functional requirements of the fabric, the glue is suitable for different glues, such as: ordinary glue; nylon glue; waterproof nylon glue; denim glue (waterproof), elastic glue.
3.Imitation reactive printing
Definition: A process that is a type of paint printing that uses a special colorant-like binder to form a specific pattern on the fabric using a certain tool. Because of its relatively good hand and color fastness, the effect is close to that of active printing.
Printing principle: The color paste is fixed on the surface of the fiber by the action of an active adhesive to form a pattern.
Features: simple process, wide chromatogram, low cost relative reactive printing, can be used for blended fabrics, soft to the touch of the glue, but slightly worse than the active printing.
Fastness: Dry and wet rubbing is better than water slurry, which is worse than active printing; bleaching resistance and light fastness are better than reactive printing.
Scope of application: Most fabrics made of natural fiber and chemical fiber can be applied. Both light and dark colors are available.
Crystal Shuttle Textile Note: The imitation-active printing mainly avoids the disadvantage that the water-printing printing cannot print dark fabrics, and the glue printing is too hard and the fastness is not high, so that the performance of the printed products is close to the active printing, and some indicators are still Can be higher than the active printing.
