A method is disclosed for producing denim-effect garments by the following steps: 1) printing a reactive dye ink onto a PET film to form a pattern thereby obtaining a transfer printed PET film; 2) transfer printing a base pulp-treated fabric by attaching the transfer printed PET film thereby obtaining a denim-effect fabric; 3) cutting, sewing, washing to soften, and drying the denim-effect fabric and thereby obtaining a denim-effect garment. The method has the advantages of simple production, being environmentally friendly, having high efficiency, and being suitable for flexible fabrics, and the produced denim-effect garment of the invention has the advantages of having a good color fastness to rubbing, washing resistance, and having a diversity of patterns, and are suitable for large-scale production and application.

The present disclosure pertains to an aqueous inkjet ink containing a pigment as colorant, a polymeric dispersant, a polymeric binder, and a water-insoluble additive. The inks show improved properties for printing on paper and textile.

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.

The invention provides a disperse dye color paste for waterless dyeing, which comprises, by weight, 10%-40% of disperse dye filter cakes, 2%-35% of a dispersant, 5%-20% of a dyeing auxiliary, 0.1-0.5% of a surfactant, and 20%-88% of a solvent. The disperse dye color paste for waterless dyeing of the invention has a small particle size; and after waterless dyeing, a textile does not contain cleavable carcinogenic aromatic amine azo dyes, allergenic dyes, forbidden aromatic amine or bioactive substances. The disperse dye color paste for waterless dyeing of the invention can be stably stored for 6-12 months which is beneficial to the transportation of dyes and the production management of dyeing factories. Moreover, a dyeing effect featuring a high fixation rate is realized after the disperse dye color paste for waterless dyeing is applied to textiles.

A novel process for printing high quality, high resolution, multi-color images on fibrous or porous materials or other ink absorbing materials, or on materials having high surface tension with a liquid ink, and especially over garments, is disclosed. The process is effected by applying a wetting composition, prior to, concomitant with and/or subsequent to applying an ink composition and formation of the images. Pre-printing and printing systems for executing the above process are further disclosed.

A printing apparatus is provided that effectively prevents the risk of ink bleeding so as to obtain a high-quality print result. The printing apparatus includes an inkjet head that ejects droplets of ink using inkjet technique so as to adhere the ink to the medium, and an ultraviolet light source that radiates ultraviolet light. The ink contains a colorant, an ultraviolet absorbent, a resin, and an aqueous solvent that emulsifies or suspends the resin. The ultraviolet light source irradiates the ink adhered to the medium with ultraviolet light to heat the ink to a temperature lower than a boiling point of the ink and high enough to prevent the ink from bleeding, so that the aqueous solvent is at least in part volatilized and removed from the ink.

The present disclosure pertains to an aqueous inkjet ink containing a pigment as colorant, a polymeric dispersant, a polymeric binder, and a water-insoluble additive. The inks show improved properties for printing on paper and textile.

Provided herein is a water-based metallic ink composition specifically adapted for direct digital inkjet printing on non-while fabrics and textile, which affords high resolution, high gloss and high luster metallic effect (high flop index) in decorations and designs that are wash-fast and stretchable. Also provided are processes of using the metallic ink compositions with other colored ink composition in direct digital inkjet printing on textile.
