Disclosed is a method for producing an embroidery pattern through stitching to a substrate, particularly a method for producing a colored embroidery pattern having color disposition corresponding to a complex shape or stitches, simply and at low cost. The method includes: forming an embroidery base pattern to a substrate by use of single-color embroidery thread; printing a transfer image on an intermediate recording medium having a total light transmittance Tt of 60% or higher by use of a sublimable disperse dye, the transfer image being used for dyeing the embroidery thread of the embroidery base pattern; superposing the transfer image on the embroidery base pattern, while the intermediate recording medium is positioned from the backside of a printed surface of the recording medium; and heat-pressing the intermediate recording medium from the backside of the recording medium, to thereby dye the embroidery thread of the embroidery base pattern.

The present invention relates to a method for providing an anti-microbial and an anti-pilling effect to textiles and for improving dye uptake to textiles. The invention also relates to novel co-polymers to be used in the method of the invention and to novel textiles.

The pretreatment liquid of the present invention is applicable for a fabric to be used for inkjet textile printing, and the pretreatment liquid contains a block copolymer including a hydrophobic block derived from a hydrophobic resin having an SP value of less than 11 and a hydrophilic block derived from a hydrophilic resin having an SP value of 11 or more, with the difference between the SP values of the hydrophobic resin and the hydrophilic resin of 1.0 or more; and water.

A method for producing a printed textile item is disclosed, the method including applying a pretreatment liquid containing a coagulant, water and a surfactant to a fabric, and, after the application of the pretreatment liquid, applying a white ink containing a white pigment and water to the fabric by an inkjet method, wherein a surface tension of the white ink at 0.05 Hz is within a range from 33 to 39 mN/m, a surface tension of the white ink at 10 Hz is 40 mN/m or greater, a specific gravity of the pretreatment liquid is greater than a specific gravity of the white ink, and the application of the white ink is performed within 100 seconds from the application of the pretreatment liquid and by a wet-on-wet method.

A multifunctional continuous dyeing apparatus provided at a bottom with a main body within which are formed in a sequence, with reference to the feeding direction of the yarn, at least a first dyeing group for the yarn, provided with a respective first squeezing device of the yarn, an oxidation or diffusion/fixation group, placed downstream of the first dyeing group and arranged for the oxidation of the dyed yarn or for the diffusion/fixation of the dye in the fiber of the dyed yarn, and at least a second dyeing group of the yarn, arranged downstream of the oxidation or diffusion/fixation group and in turn provided with a respective second squeezing device of the yarn, where at least the first dyeing group, the first squeezing device, the oxidation or diffusion/fixation group and the second dyeing group are hermetically sealing enclosed by at least one covering case, integral at the top with the main body, and provided with a plurality of doors which are at least partially openable to perform the dyeing of the yarn in an environment exposed to air and which are reclosable to perform the dyeing of the yarn in an inert environment under nitrogen.

A print method includes applying a first processing fluid comprising water and a lubricant to a fabric, applying a second processing fluid comprising water and a flocculant to the fabric, and applying an ink to the region of the fabric where the first processing fluid and the second processing fluid have been applied.

A multi-fluid kit for textile printing includes an inkjet ink and a fixer fluid. The inkjet ink includes a self-crosslinked polyurethane binder particle including a polyurethane polymer with a polymerized carboxylate-based diol and a polymerized sulfonated diamine, a pigment, and an ink aqueous vehicle; and a fixer fluid includes an azetidinium-containing polyamine, and a fixer aqueous vehicle.

A face mask kit has one or more face masks, each face mask having a facial covering configured to be colored; and at least one colored dye for applying to the facial covering to impart a color. The facial covering is a fabric of a neutral base color to be dyed with the at least one colored dye, the neutral base color is preferably white. The at least one colored dye includes a plurality of colored dyes of different colors, the plurality of colored dyes includes colors selected from colors of red, yellow, blue, orange, green or pink. The face mask kit further has at least one flavored-scent configured to be applied to the facial covering to impart a fragrance to the mask.
