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 present application provides a fabric coloring method and a colored fabric, where the fabric coloring method includes: performing radiation drying on a base cloth; sequentially forming an adhesive layer and at least one color-generating layer on a surface of the base cloth after the radiation drying by vacuum deposition, where the adhesive layer contains at least one of Ti, Cr, Si and Ni, and a thickness of the adhesive layer ranges from 1 nm to 2000 nm; the color-generating layer contains at least one of Al, Ti, Cu, Fe, Mo, Zn, Ag, Au, and Mg, and the total thickness of the color-generating layer ranges from 1 nm to 4000 nm. The fabric coloring method can not only produce rich colors and make the colored fabric have good color fastness, but also reduce the sensitivity of color of the colored fabric to thickness of the film, thus improving the industrial operability.

A method for producing a printed product is provided. The method capable of producing the printed product is superior in a friction fastness and a texture. And, a printing system is also provided. The method includes a printing step in which an ink composition for inkjet, containing a colorant and a crosslinkable binder component, is inkjet-printed onto a textile good to obtain a print body; and a heat-treatment step in which, by heat-treatment of the print body with steam, the crosslinkable binder component is caused to melt or soften, and to crosslink to be a film, thereby fixing the colorant to fibers of the textile good. The printing system includes a printing apparatus and a heat-treatment equipment with which a print body after printing is heat-treated with steam.

The invention generally relates to fabric dyeing, such as fabric dyeing using indigo or sulphur dyes. A process is provided which provides a dyed yarn having reduced dye penetration and a white core. The process involves modification of existing sulfur dye ranges to more efficiently and in an environmentally improved method produce dyed fabrics. The modification involves one or more of i) using of a barrier compound to subsequent dye applications; ii) performing a scouring stage without a caustic agent; iii) bypassing scouring and/or scour rising; iv) using sodium bicarbonate to control the pH of dye tanks; v) reducing the dye concentration and increasing the number of dye vats; and vi) adding a sizing stage to the dye range. The invention also is directed to yarns dyed on dye ranges through use of the process, and fabrics formed from the dyed yarns.

The present invention is directed to a nanoporous cerium oxide nanoparticle (NCeONP) macro-structure containing a plurality of the cerium oxide nanoparticles which define a plurality of macro-structure pores. The NCeONP macro structure may be used to improve pigment and/or dye performance.
