A fabric treatment agent that is used in textile printing with a sublimable color material includes a color-material scavenging compound having an Rf value of 0.7 or less according to paper chromatography performed under following conditions. In Procedure 1, cellulose filter paper is impregnated with a 10% solution of the color-material scavenging compound and then dried to prepare a carrier. In Procedure 2, a 0.1% solution of a sublimable color material in tetrahydrofuran is spotted on the carrier and then dried to prepare a development sample. In Procedure 3, the development sample is developed using acetonitrile as a solvent for 3 minutes at 25 C. In Procedure 4, the Rf value is calculated by a following formula: $Rf=\frac{\left(\mathrm{distance}\mathrm{travelled}\mathrm{by}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{sublimable}\mathrm{color}\mathrm{material}\right)}{\left(\mathrm{distance}\mathrm{travelled}\mathrm{by}\mathrm{acetonitrile}\right)}.$

A printing method of the present disclosure includes a pre-treatment liquid adhesion step of adhering a pre-treatment liquid to a cloth and a thermal transfer step in which while a transfer medium on which an image is formed by a sublimation transfer ink jet ink containing a disperse dye and water is faced to the cloth to which the pre-treatment liquid is adhered, the image is thermal-transferred to the cloth. In the printing method described above, the pre-treatment liquid contains a polyester resin, a cross-linking agent, and water, and in the pre-treatment liquid adhesion step, the pre-treatment liquid is adhered to the cloth so that a product of a water absorbability [s] of the cloth obtained by the sedimentation method in accordance with JIS L 1907: 2010 7.1.3 and an adhesion amount [g/m.sup.2] of the polyester resin to the cloth is 8.0 to 16.0 [s.Math.g/m.sup.2].
