Abstract: Compared with reactive dye printing, pigment printing had the advantages of simple technology, environmental protection and energy saving,but it was still restricted for the coarse handle and poor fastness to rubbing.The super soft pigment printing technology applied on cotton was optimized in this paper. Experiments were showed that the printing effects would be best with m（BCN-C）/m（BCN-D）1/1，baking temperature 150℃,baking time 4min.Compared with the application on cotton fabric with three different printing technologies,the results were showed that the drape coefficient would be 42.55%(weaving fabric) and 18.95%(knitting fabric)with super soft pigment printing technology,and the handle was better than the traditional pigment printing technology, closing to the reactive dye printing.The fastness to wet rubbing and washing could be 3-4 grade and 4-5 grade respectively, which could meet the printing quality requirements, and the washing liquid COD value was only about 10-15% of reactive dye printing.
