The present invention provides an easy settable stretch fabric comprising three types of yarns: a rigid fiber, an elastic fiber, and a low-melt fiber, wherein the low-melt fiber comprises low-melt polymer which can be fused in the temperature between 60° C. to 200° C., being higher than the temperature used for normal textile process and household laundry, but lower than the temperature used for heat setting elastic fiber. The low-melt fiber can be selected from a group of fibers made from modified polyester, nylon, and polypropylene and the copolymer from them in the form of staple or filament.

A method of dyeing knitted fabrics and fabric and vamp fabric with predetermined color using the same are provided. The method includes steps of: providing a plain knitted fabric; entirely spray dyeing the fabric by dye liquor containing nano-particles through the printing and spraying process; executing a high temperature process or a steam process of a thermally drying process to the dyed knitted fabric so that the nano-particles can attach into the fabric of the knitted fabric, and forming the knitted fabric with the predetermined color after the knitted fabric is dyed. The fabric and the dyeing method provided can therefore reduce the production of sewage effectively.

A print processing apparatus, a heating device, and a method of performing a printing process. The print processing apparatus includes a heating device including a heater, the heater performing at least one of contactless heating to heat a fabric in a state where the heater is not in contact with the fabric and contact heating to heat the fabric in a state where the heater is in contact with the fabric, and a memory to store a condition table retaining a condition in which whether the contactless heating is to be performed, whether the contact heating is to be performed, an order in which the contactless heating and the contact heating are performed, and a temperature and a length of time in at least one of the contactless heating and the contact heating to be performed are determined for each kind of the fabric.

A printer includes: a print engine configured to discharge ink onto a fabric to print the fabric; a heating device configured to heat the fabric under a prescribed treatment condition; and circuitry configured to: set a type of the fabric; and acquire the prescribed treatment condition from an external device connected to the printer. The prescribed treatment condition includes: a temperature at which the heating device heats the fabric; and a duration of time during which the heating device heats the fabric, and the prescribed treatment condition is set for each types of fabrics.

An on-demand manufacturing of apparel system includes online customization and ordering of garments, previewing of the garments, manufacturing including laser finishing of garments, and delivery to the customer. Laser finishing of apparel products reduces finishing cost, lowers carrying costs, increases productivity, shortens time to market, be more reactive to trends, reduces product constraints, reduces lost sales and dilution, and more. Fabric templates can be used to produce a multitude of laser finishes. Operational efficiency is improved.

An aqueous dispersion of a capsule composed of a polymeric shell surrounding a core, the core containing an amine blocked isocyanate, the amine blocked isocyanate comprises at least two isocyanate groups blocked by a blocking group, the blocking groups are independently from each other represented by a secondary amine The aqueous dispersion is suitable as reactive binder chemistry in coatings and inks.

An example fixer composition includes a glycidyl amine resin, an acid, a co-solvent, and a balance of water. The glycidyl amine resin includes at least two epoxide groups, a phenyl group, and a tertiary amine group. The fixer composition may be included in a printing kit with an ink composition. In an example, the ink composition including a pigment, a polymeric binder, and an aqueous ink vehicle.

The disclosure more appropriately determines a condition of a step executed at the time of creating a product of printing. A printing system (10) that creates a product of printing by performing at least printing includes a printer (16) which is a printing apparatus that executes a printing step of performing printing by ejecting ink; a washing machine (20) which is a post-processing machine that executes a post-processing step on a printed matter obtained by performing the printing step in the printer (16); and a control device (12) that determines a condition of a post-processing step based on a condition of the printing step.

A digital printed fabric includes a base cloth and a digital printing ink disposed on the base cloth, and a manufacturing method for the digital printing ink includes the following steps. A first thermal process including mixing a dye, a crosslinking agent, and a polyol is performed, such that a polymer dye is formed, in which a reaction temperature of the first thermal process is between 70° C. and 90° C. A second thermal process including mixing the polymer dye and an aqueous bridging agent is performed, such that a first mixture is formed, in which a reaction temperature of the second thermal process is between 90° C. and 120° C. A third thermal process including mixing the first mixture and a chain extender is performed, such that the digital printing ink is formed, in which a reaction temperature of the third thermal process is between 120° C. and 150° C.

The invention refers to a disperse black ink comprising: an aqueous vehicle and a black dye dispersion comprising: disperse blue 165, disperse orange 29, disperse red 82 and disperse blue 60, and the use of such black ink in a method for inkjet-printing on a fabric.
