Textile printing is the process of applying colour to fabric in definite patterns or designs. In properly printed fabrics the colour is bonded with the fibre,

2. What is Textile Printing?
Textile printing is the process of applying colour
to fabric in definite patterns or designs. In
properly printed fabrics the colour is bonded with
the fibre, so as to resist washing and friction. Textile
printing is related to dyeing but in dyeing properly
the whole fabric is uniformly covered with one
colour, whereas in printing one or more colours are
applied to it in certain parts only, and in sharply
defined patterns.

3. Printing Process
Color Paste Preparation:
When printing textiles, the dye or pigment is not in an aqueous liquor,
instead, it is usually finely dispersed in a printing paste, in high
concentration.
Textile Printing:
The dye or pigment paste is applied to the substrate using different
techniques, which are discussed below.
Fixation:
Immediately after printing, the fabric is dried and then the prints are fixed
mainly with steam or hot air (for pigments). Note that intermediate drying
is not carried out when printing carpets (too much energy would be needed
for removing the highly viscous liquor).
After-Treatment
: This final operation consists in washing and drying the fabric (it is not
necessary when printing with pigments or with other particular techniques
such as transfer printing).

5. Style Of Printing
How the color or other treating material, usually
in the form of a paste, is deposited onto the fabric
which is then usually treated with steam, heat, or
chemicals for fixation is the style of printing.
Different style of printing
 Direct Printing Style
 Discharge Printing Style
 Resist Printing Style

6. Direct Printing
Style
This method involves the direct application of the colour design
to the fabric and is the most common method of textile printing.
The dyes used for direct printing are those which would normally
be used for a conventional dyeing. of the fabric type concerned.

7. Discharge Printing
Style
The literal meaning of the word “discharge” is to
eliminate or to remove. It means the style of
printing which can produce a white or colored
effect on a previously dyed fabric ground.
This discharging of color from previously dyed
ground is carried out by a discharging agent,
which is capable of destroying color by
oxidation and reduction.
The discharging agents are – oxidizing agent
(i.e. Potassium chlorate, Na-chlorate etc.) or
reducing agent (i.e. Rongalite-c, Stannous

8. Some Types Of Discharge
Printing

9. Types Of Discharge
PrintingTwo types of discharging styles are available.
White discharge Colored discharge

10. Resist Printing Style
The literal meaning of the term “Resist” is to
prevent or to hinder. A resist (wax or other resinous
substance) solution is applied according print design
that will prevent the fixation of any coloring agent
employed after words on that area.
It is one of the oldest printing style in which two
resulting pattern can be obtained. In resist printing
the fabric is first printed with an agent that resists
either dye penetration or dye fixation. During
subsequent dyeing, only the areas free of the resist
agent are colored.

11. Resist Printing Style

12. Types of resist
printing styleTwo types of resist styles are available.
White resist: No color is added to the resist print
paste.
Color resist: Required color is added to the
resist printing paste.
