A dyeing and finishing method for linen cotton textile fabric with high-shrinkage is described in the present invention, comprises the steps as below: preprocessing, pickling, dyeing and shaping, which can make the fabric with sufficient shrinkage and provide a qualitative sense of linen cotton. Through the above way, in the dyeing and finishing method for linen cotton textile fabric with high-shrinkage provided by the present invention, washing treatment on the fabric by the preprocessing and the pickling before dyeing makes the colorizing more easy and decreases the color difference and colored spot after dyeing, opening the fiber of the fabric and cooling shrinkage during the dyeing process can obtain the unique product style, with a handle more like the linen cotton effect, and a pellet feeling appeared on the cloth cover and the product fabric more like the woven fabric.

A image forming method of the present invention includes steps of forming a coloring material layer by applying an ink containing water and a dispersible coloring material dispersed in the water to the surface of a fabric by an inkjet method; and forming, on a surface of the coloring material layer, a protective layer having an average thickness smaller than that of the coloring material layer.

An aqueous ink jet composition is provided that contains at least one dye composed of at least one of sublimation dyes or at least one of disperse dyes, polyester, and water. The polyester content is higher than or equal to 4 times and lower than or equal to 300 times the dye content. Preferably, the polyester content is 5% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less. Preferably, the dye content is 0.1% by mass or more and 7.5% by mass or less.

An ink, having a viscosity of 2.5 to 15 centipoise at 25° C., for textile printing includes pigment; a water dispersible anionic polymeric resin; a water soluble zero volatile organic compound solvent with a boiling point of 250° C. or greater; a crosslinking agent; and water. The water dispersible polymeric resin has particles with a median volume weighted size of less than 150 nm and a 95.sup.th percentile volume weighted size of less than 250 nm. The water dispersible polymeric resin has an acid number value of 5 to 40, a resin film elongation of 500 to 1200%, and a film tensile strength of 10 to 60 mPa.

A method is provided for dyeing a molded part produced in a 3D printing process with a polymer. The method includes a dyeing step for dyeing the surface of the molded part with a dye, and a first post-treatment step for fixing the dye which has penetrated the surface of the molded part. Optionally, a second post-treatment step can be carried out in order to achieve even better fixing of the dye which has penetrated the surface of the molded part.

The present invention relates to yarn dyeing, such as denim dyeing. A process provides a dyed yarn having reduced dye penetration and a white core at lower cost. The improved process for yarn dyeing is referred to herein as the CleanKore technology. The CleanKore technology improves one or more steps in dye ranges to achieve dyeing of the yarn while retaining a white core at the center of the yarn. When viewing a cross-section of a yarn, the peripheral portion is dyed while the center remains white (not dyed). The CleanKore technology modifies the scouring stage (or phase), the scour rinsing stage, the dyeing stage, and/or the dye rinsing phase of existing dye ranges. The modifications may be applied individually or any combinations thereof to the existing dye range.
