Abstract:

In order to investigate the relationship between the cotton fabric structure and ink jet printing effect, from the perspective of fabric roughness, thickness and porosity, the reactive dye inks were added to fabrics with different structures. The color strength and the spreading area of reactive dye ink droplets on the fabric was analyzed by colorimeter and image processing software. The influence of fabric warp and weft roughness, thickness and porosity on the color performance of the fabric was studied. The results show that the honeycomb fabric exhibits the higher color strength values, followed by twill fabrics, and plain fabric displays the smaller color strength values when the color coverage is 100%. The larger fabric roughness and porosity contributes to the lighter the color strength of fabrics, and the larger the spread area of the ink droplets on fabrics, and the worse the anti-bleeding performance. The larger fabric thickness contributes to the darker the color strength of fabrics, and the smaller the spread area of the ink droplets on fabrics, and the better the anti-bleeding performance.

Key words: ink jet printing, cotton fabric, weave structure, reactive dye, ink droplet spreading, color performance
