A processing liquid composition of the present disclosure subjected to textile printing and which is used by being attached to a fabric including fibers having a hydroxyl group, includes an oxazoline group-containing polymer and an aromatic carboxylic acid. An oxazoline value of the oxazoline group-containing polymer is preferably 100 or more and 600 or less.

A fabric printable medium, with an image-side and a back-side, including a fabric base substrate; a primary layer containing polymeric binders applied on, at least, one side of the base substrate; and an image-receiving coating layer applied over, at least, one primary layer including a first and a second crosslinked polymeric network. The primary layer includes a flame-retardant dispersion including flame-retardant agents and polymeric dispersants. Also disclosed are the method for making such fabric printable medium and the method for producing printed images using said material.

There is provided an ink jet ink set for sublimation transfer, including: a first ink composition; and a second ink composition, in which the first ink composition contains a first disperse dye having a molecular weight of 340 or less, and the second ink composition contains a second disperse dye having a molecular weight of 360 or more.

There is provided an ink jet ink set for sublimation transfer, including: a first ink composition; and a second ink composition, in which the first ink composition contains a first disperse dye having a molecular weight of 340 or less, and the second ink composition contains a second disperse dye having a molecular weight of 360 or more.

The present invention offers a new approach to the treatment of garments, including novel compositions and related methods using foam as a carrier of chemical products that are used during the industrial treatment of textiles. Another aspect of the invention relates to methods for reducing total water content necessary in industrial treatment of garments. Another aspect of the present invention relates to processes and methods of forming a foam that can be used for textile treatment.

A process and composition is provided for preparing substrates with both visual and thermal camouflage. The substrate is metallized through a deposition process and polished or calendered to smooth the metal layer and lower the infrared emissivity of the layer deposited onto the substrate. The metallized substrate is then visually decorated by a tarnish and/or dying process that minimally impacts the infrared emissivity of the metallized substrate.

Provided are: a coloring composition for dyeing including a compound represented by Formula (1) shown in this specification or a salt thereof; a coloring composition for textile printing in which the coloring composition for dyeing is used for textile printing; a compound which is preferable as a material of the coloring compositions; a textile printing method in which the above-described coloring composition for textile printing is used; an ink for ink jet textile printing including the above-described coloring composition for textile printing; and a dyed fabric.

A platen assembly for printing on face masks which includes a base member having a plurality of jig members mounted thereon. The base member has a top surface and a bottom surface, with its bottom surface operative to attach to a platen holding mechanism of a conventional direct to garment printer. Each of the jig members may be attached to the top surface of the base member and hold a single face mask in such a manner that it can be printed on. Edges of the base member and of each jig member include interface portions which allow portions of the face mask to be selectively threaded through to more effectively keep the face masks in place, being held smooth and taught.
