    1. Printing: The process of printing floral patterns with a certain color fastness on textiles with dyes or pigments.

    2. Classification of printed objects

    The main objects of printing are fabrics and yarns. The former attaches the pattern directly to the fabric, so the pattern is clearer. The latter is to print the pattern on the assembly of yarns arranged in parallel, and after weaving, the fabric produces a pattern effect with a hazy style.

    3. The difference between printing and dyeing

    (1) Dyeing is to dye the dye evenly on the textile to get a single color. Printing is to print patterns of one or more colors on the same textile, which is actually partial dyeing.

    (2) Dyeing is to mix the dye into a dye solution and dye it on the fabric through water as a medium. Printing uses the slurry as the dyeing medium, and the dye or pigment is mixed into a printing paste to print on the fabric. After drying, the subsequent treatments such as steaming and color development are carried out according to the nature of the dye or color to make it dye or fix. On the fiber, it is finally soaped and washed with water to remove the floating color and the paint and chemicals in the color paste.

    4. Pre-processing for printing

    Similar to the dyeing process, the fabric must be pretreated before printing to obtain good wettability so that the color paste can evenly enter the fiber. Plastic fabrics such as polyester sometimes need to be heat-set to reduce shrinkage and deformation during the printing process.

    5. Method of printing

    According to the printing process, there are direct printing, anti-dye printing and discharge printing; according to the printing equipment, there are mainly roller printing, screen printing and transfer printing. From the printing method, there are manual printing and mechanical printing. Mechanical printing mainly includes screen printing, roller printing, transfer printing and liquid jet printing. The first two applications are more common.
