Abstract

With rapid progressions in the textile industry, it has become increasingly evident that there is a need for development of a textile printing system which will have the capacity to keep pace with current and future mass customization manufacturing requirements in the printing segment of the textile industry. Digital inkjet printing has the potential to provide such characteristics, in a continuous system combining digital inkjet printing with the fabric formation process. Analyzing various fiber types requires that a specific correlating link be developed to correspond with a given substrate and its respective dye class. Research conducted at Philadelphia University has focused intently on discovering a link for cotton substrates and reactive dye coloration. For future exploration of polyester, research into the design, synthesis and use of special cyclodextrins, (which have the dual capacity to function as suitable hosts for certain colorants, and act as sizing agents), will be the key component for successful integration for the given substrate.
