The present invention related to a method of dyeing using the salt mixture as an electrolyte with 0.5 to 5.00 GPL of sodium chloride or sodium sulphate and alkali agents I and II to exhaust and fix the dyestuff to the cellulose material in the reactive dyeing wherein the fiber is treated with (i) the salt mixture with sodium chloride or sodium sulphate specifically, putting the pre-treated fiber maintained with pH between 3 and above and an (MLR) maintained between 1:20 and 1:3 at a temperature between 20° C. and above and exhausted for between 15 minutes and above, (ii) the alkali agent I with a pH between 9.5 and above at a temperature between 30° C. and above and stained for between 20 minutes and above (iii) the alkali agent II with a pH between 10.5 and above at a temperature between 30° C. and above and stained for 40 minutes and above.

A pretreatment apparatus of the present disclosure is a pretreatment apparatus configured to perform pretreatment on a recording medium having permeability and to be applied with ink, including: a first applicator configured to apply an aqueous solution containing alginate to the recording medium; a second applicator configured to apply an aqueous solution containing a chelating agent to the recording medium; and a third applicator configured to apply a pretreatment agent containing a polyvalent metal salt to the recording medium, wherein the third applicator is configured to apply the pretreatment agent after the application of the aqueous solutions by the first applicator and the second applicator.

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.

The application of melanin to fabric improves resistance to chemical pass-through, with possible application in protective garments, shelters, and filtration materials.

Kiosk systems are used for personalizing articles. The articles may include an item to be personalized assembled with components of packaging in a pre-hooped configuration. The system may include a housing and a personalization system within the housing. The personalization system may include a plurality of system components for personalizing the article. The system may also include a conveying system within the housing. The conveying system may be used to transfer the article in the pre-hooped configuration between the system components of the personalization systems. The system may also include a control system in the housing and/or remote from the housing. The control system may receive a personalization order and in response the control system may control the system components of the personalization systems and the conveying system so that the article is personalized without human intervention once within the housing.
