An object of the present invention is to provide a transfer paper which allows smooth removal of a printed transfer paper from a design-printed fabric before steaming; and is unlikely to cause problems such as partial missing, color unevenness, color-development deterioration, etc. of the design on the fabric. Provided is a transfer paper having a substrate and one or more coating layers, the substrate having a base paper and one or more nonaqueous resin layers on one side of the base paper, the one or more coating layers being located on the one or more nonaqueous resin layers, the coating layer located outermost from the substrate, that is, the outermost coating layer, at least comprising a water-soluble polyester resin, a carboxylic acid-modified polyvinyl alcohol resin, an acrylic resin, a starch, and a white pigment, the acrylic resin having a glass transition point (Tg) of 0° C. to 45° C. and a minimum film forming temperature (MFT) of 0° C. to 50° C.

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.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for aligning, stacking, and applying craft vinyl are disclosed. A fabric is secured by multiple clamps to a first surface and a second surface of a box when the box is in an open configuration. The first surface has a first measurement grid affixed thereupon. The second surface has a second measurement grid affixed thereupon. The fabric is aligned to the first measurement grid and the second measurement grid. Each vinyl layer of multiple vinyl layers defining a pattern is aligned to each other vinyl layer of the multiple vinyl layers by one or more pegs located on an edge of the first surface of the box. The multiple vinyl layers are positioned on the fabric by the one or more pegs. The multiple vinyl layers are pressed onto the fabric to print the pattern onto the fabric.

A method for manufacturing a fabric with an intelligently-designed digitally-printed pattern with energy saving effect is disclosed. It includes S1: knitting a cotton yarn, a bamboo fiber yarn, and a mulberry silk yarn into a silk-cotton plain knitted single-sided fabric; S2: subjecting the fabric to a double-sided singeing; S3: mercerizing the fabric obtained in step S2; S4: subjecting the mercerized fabric to a neutralizing processing, a bleaching processing, a deoxidating processing, and a whitening processing in sequence; S5: setting the base color of the fabric obtained in step S4; S6: subjecting the fabric obtained in step S5 to a sizing and setting treatment, a pattern design treatment, a digital printing, a steaming treatment, and a water washing treatment; S7: subjecting the fabric obtained in step S6 to a soft setting; S8: subjecting the fabric obtained in step S7 to a decating treatment; and S9: pre-shrinking the fabric obtained in S8.

In an example of a textile printing method, a thermally curable ink composition is applied on a fabric substrate. The thermally curable ink composition includes from about 1 wt % active to about 6 wt % active of a pigment that absorbs ultraviolet radiation, infrared radiation, or a combination thereof, based on a total weight of the thermally curable ink composition; from about 2 wt % active to about 20 wt % active of a polymeric binder, based on the total weight of the thermally curable ink composition; and an aqueous ink vehicle. In the method, the pigment of the thermally curable ink composition is selectively heated on the fabric substrate by exposing the fabric substrate to an emission wavelength from a narrow wavelength light source for a total exposure time of 3 seconds or less. The selective heating thermally fixes the pigment to the fabric substrate.

In example implementations, a method to convert metal precursors in textiles is provided. The method includes applying a liquid metal precursor to a textile. Then, energy (e.g., heat and/or pressure) is applied to the textile. The metal precursor is converted into metal nanoparticles in the textile by sustaining application of the energy.

The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a multilayer knitted textile by heating a multi-layer knitted textile in the presence of one or more dye compounds, wherein the multilayer knitted textile comprises a fabric outer layer and a fabric inner layer, wherein the fabric outer layer is knit from a first yarn containing a combination of modacrylic fibers and cotton fibers, wherein the fabric inner layer is knit from a second yarn made from 50-90% HBA/HNA filaments, wherein the heating shrinks the outer layer from about 5 to 25% in length, width, or both.

An embodiment herein provides a process for dyeing of textile materials 108 with supercritical fluid. One or more dye materials 102 along with additives (if required) are mixed with at least one suitable solvent 104 to obtain one or more dye solutions 106. A textile material 108 is pre-treated with the one or more dye solutions 106 to obtain a dye coated textile material 110. The dye-coated textile material 110 is exposed to the supercritical fluid 112 in a supercritical fluid dyeing vessel at controlled pressure and temperature. The supercritical fluid 112 solubilizes and diffuses the one or more dye materials 102 inside the surface, pores and capillaries of the textile material 108. The supercritical fluid vessel is then depressurized below supercritical condition to entrap the one or more dye materials 102 in the textile material 108 to obtain a supercritical fluid dyed textile material 114.

The invention provides a velvet fabric and a method of making the fabric. The fabric includes a support formed by weft yarns and warp yarns, such that the weft yarns are inserted and interwoven with the warp yarns, and at least one filling yarn is anchored in the form of loops or bristles in the support. The support has two surfaces and the filling yarn emerges from at least one surface of the support. The warp yarns and/or the weft yarns of the support are at least partially formed of polyester at a low melting temperature.

A treatment liquid composition for ink jet pigment printing is a treatment liquid composition which is used to be adhered to a cloth and which includes a block isocyanate compound, a hydroxyethyl cellulose, and a cationic compound.
