ABSTRACT LI, XINGYU. Key Material Factors of Digital Printing On ABSTRACT LI, XINGYU. Key Material Factors of Digital Printing on Textiles. Case: Pigment on Woven Polyester. (Under the direction of Nancy Powell and Dr. Stephen Michielsen). Improved prepared for digital printing base materials or substrate fabrics contribute to the final product’s qualities in meeting end use performance requirements. This research seeks to determine the key factors (materials and processes) that affect digital printing on textiles’ qualities and to improve substrate fabrics for digital printing enhancements. Polyester samples developed in the laboratories of the College of Textiles and commercially available fabrics were analyzed and printed with the MS-JP5 Evo digital printer. Physical properties of the fabrics were evaluated for dry and wet crock fastness, tensile strength, tear strength, seam strength and clarity of printed test patterns. Best practices in preparing polyester woven fabric for direct digital printing were explored. A print clarity quantitative test method was created. Funded by a multi-national retail corporation, this study in basecloth factors impacting digital printing will contribute to the quality and efficiency of digital printing as an innovative advance in manufacturing. Following the analysis stage, industry interviews will be conducted in order to validate the contributing factors discovered in this research and reveal any new factors. © Copyright 2017 Xingyu Li All Rights Reserved Key Material Factors of Digital Printing on Textiles.

  • Choosing the Proper Short Cut Fiber for Your Nonwoven Web
    Choosing The Proper Short Cut Fiber for Your Nonwoven Web ABSTRACT You have decided that your web needs a synthetic fiber. There are three important factors that have to be considered: generic type, diameter, and length. In order to make the right choice, it is important to know the chemical and physical characteristics of the numerous man-made fibers, and to understand what is meant by terms such as denier and denier per filament (dpf). PROPERTIES Denier Denier is a property that varies depending on the fiber type. It is defined as the weight in grams of 9,000 meters of fiber. The current standard of denier is 0.05 grams per 450 meters. Yarn is usually made up of numerous filaments. The denier of the yarn divided by its number of filaments is the denier per filament (dpf). Thus, denier per filament is a method of expressing the diameter of a fiber. Obviously, the smaller the denier per filament, the more filaments there are in the yarn. If a fairly closed, tight web is desired, then lower dpf fibers (1.5 or 3.0) are preferred. On the other hand, if high porosity is desired in the web, a larger dpf fiber - perhaps 6.0 or 12.0 - should be chosen. Here are the formulas for converting denier into microns, mils, or decitex: Diameter in microns = 11.89 x (denier / density in grams per milliliter)½ Diameter in mils = diameter in microns x .03937 Decitex = denier x 1.1 The following chart may be helpful. Our stock fibers are listed along with their density and the diameter in denier, micron, mils, and decitex for each: Diameter Generic Type

  • Yarn Numbering Systems
    TECHNICAL BULLETIN 6399 Weston Parkway, Cary, North Carolina, 27513 • Telephone (919) 678-2220 TRI 1014 YARN NUMBERING SYSTEMS © 2003 Cotton Incorporated. All rights reserved; America’s Cotton Producers and Importers. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION 1 DIRECT SYSTEMS 1 INDIRECT SYSTEMS 2 CONVERSION 4 PLIED YARNS 4 YARN DIAMETER 5 YARN NUMBERING SYSTEMS - TABLE 1 6 CONVERSION FACTORS - TABLE 2 7 YARN NUMBERING SYSTEMS INTRODUCTION Textiles are often sold on a weight basis and consequently it is natural to express the size of "thickness" of a yarn in terms of weight (or mass). There are two basic ways in which this may be done. These are: (a) by saying how much a given length of yarn weighs, or (b) by saying what length of yarn one would have in a given weight. Generally these are known as the direct and indirect systems of yarn numbering, respectively. In other words: Weight(or mass) Direct yarn number = Length Length Indirect yarn number = Weight(or mass) It will be noted that one is the inverse of the other. In the first case, the number gets larger as the yarn or strand gets coarser. In the second case, the number gets smaller as the yarn or strand gets coarser. Each system has its advantages and disadvantages and each has found areas in which, by custom, it is used. It so happens that because long, thin strands are usually involved, the length figures are usually large and the weight figures are small. Consequently, the yarn numbers would get impossibly large or impossibly small unless special units are used.

Hand weaving is a lost art form that needs to be revived by students and young textile professionals, thus being part of the inspiration for this garment. Inspiration was also drawn from a colorful piece of artwork at the North Carolina Museum of Art. Frank Philip Stella’s Raqqa II is a fusion of bright, vibrant colors that seamlessly intertwine, following the curves and edges of the canvas. I believe that the shapes formed by the bands of color, mirror the shape of the model’s body because of the form fitting dress.

All rights reserved; America’s Cotton Producers and Importers. INTRODUCTION The desire of adding color and design to textile materials is almost as old as mankind. Early civilizations used color and design to distinguish themselves and to set themselves apart from others. Textile printing is the most important and versatile of the techniques used to add design, color, and specialty to textile fabrics. It can be thought of as the coloring technique that combines art, engineering, and dyeing technology to produce textile product images that had previously only existed in the imagination of the textile designer. Textile printing can realistically be considered localized dyeing. In ancient times, man sought these designs and images mainly for clothing or apparel, but in today’s marketplace, textile printing is important for upholstery, domestics (sheets, towels, draperies), floor coverings, and numerous other uses. The exact origin of textile printing is difficult to determine. However, a number of early civilizations developed various techniques for imparting color and design to textile garments. Batik is a modern art form for developing unique dyed patterns on textile fabrics very similar to textile printing. Batik is characterized by unique patterns and color combinations as well as the appearance of fracture lines due to the cracking of the wax during the dyeing process. Batik is derived from the Japanese term, “Ambatik,” which means “dabbing,” “writing,” or “drawing.” In Egypt, records from 23-79 AD describe a hot wax technique similar to batik.
