Abstract

This study determined padding process parameters that influence the shade depth (K/S, color strength) of the inkjet printed fabrics. Three roller speeds (20, 40, and 60 rpm) and six roller pressures (5, 15, 20, 40, 60, and 70 psi) were studied. The fabric samples were padded through liquor (formula: 0.8% alginate, 4% sodium hydroxide, 10% urea, and 85.2% water, all concentrations in w/w) in a one-dip-one-nip procedure with wet pickup ranging from 84.9% to 99.0%. Padded samples were printed with a piezotechnique based Mimaki TX-2 printer, post-treated, and evaluated for their color. Optimum shade depth was obtained at a combination of 20-psi roller pressure and 40-rpm speed.
