Digital Textile Printing Using Solid Ink Technology DIGITAL TEXTILE PRINTING USING SOLID INK TECHNOLOGY Michael Korger1, Christine Steinem1, Joanna Kowol1, Maike Rabe1, Mark Leenen2, Jelmen Meijerink2, Tiny Ritzen2 1Hochschule Niederrhein – University of Applied Sciences, Research Institute for Textile and Clothing (FTB), Rheydter Str. 291, Mönchengladbach, Germany 2Océ Technologies B.V., St. Urbanusweg 43, Venlo, The Netherlands [email protected] Abstract As well as conventional printing processes for textiles like flatbed, rotary screen or transfer printing, nowadays digital printing covers a wide range of textile printing applications which derive benefit from advantages such as a shorter turnaround, cheaper low volume and variable data printing. Although inkjet technology provides a great potential to produce high- quality prints with good color fastness on different textile materials, presently the large variety of textile materials requires different kinds of inks (containing reactive, acid or disperse dyes or pigments) and printers. At the same time a specific pre- and after-treatment of the textiles involving energy-consuming washing and drying steps are required. In this project an environment-friendly and flexible-purpose printing technology with hot-melt inks usable for different textiles is being elaborated. In this printing process neither water nor solvents are used and therefore, no fixation or drying process is needed, resulting in less energy consumption and virtually no emissions. Here the capabilities of this solid ink technology applied to textile media are presented. This includes investigations to improve ink fixation and color fastness against external stress like rubbing, washing or light with reference to the standards for suitable application fields like signage or interior decoration. Introduction Digital textile printing is one of the fastest growing sectors within what is called “Industrial Printing” and therefore it has become more and more important also in the textile and clothing industry. In fact, in the worldwide market the segment “Soft Signage Printing” has grown 45 percent in its adaption of digital inkjet printing technology [1]. The breakthrough enabled by advanced new and eco-friendly technologies is expected to contribute to the European success in this fast growing industry. Digital printing is an on-demand process and therefore production of printed textiles can be done in short runs (low volumes) and on site. Table 1: Overview of common inkjet fabric requirements [2] Textile Inkjet Printing Fixation and Textile Preparation (Inks) Washing-off Finishing CEL Yes Reactive Yes like traditional Silk, PA, WO Yes Acid Yes like traditional PES Yes Disperse Yes like traditional No / Yes (for CO, CO/PES Pigment No like traditional high quality) According to state of the art digital textile printing technology, usually water-based inks are applied to textiles through nozzles in an inkjet printing process with subsequent drying and fixation, e.g. using saturated steam. Then the coloring is based on chemical and physical bonding between textile and colorant which results in good color fastness. However, the handling is quite inflexible, because different textile materials require selected types of inks to obtain an excellent color performance (see Table 1). Additionally, specific textile pre- treatments and post-processing steps like washing-off contribute negatively to the eco- balance. Certainly, with the use of pigment inks (UV-curable or IR-drying latex inks), which contain binders to form a polymer matrix or film to fix the pigments onto the textile, the printing process becomes quite independent of the textile substrate. Even so, the printing quality including the range of color gamut and textile feel or grip is negatively affected [3]. Additionally, since textiles are highly porous materials, the UV-curable inks are absorbed deep into the textile and it is impossible to fully cure the ink. Harmful non-cured monomers will remain in the textile and can come into contact with human skin. Next to that, such textiles printed with current state of the art UV-curable inks will still smell bad lasting for weeks after printing. Furthermore, latex inks, like other water-based inkjet techniques, require energy-intensive drying or fixation processes. In the German-Dutch Interreg IV A project “SITex-Print – Solid Inks for Textile Printing” it is intended that those disadvantages should be removed by one sustainable and flexible- purpose printing technology using waterless hot-melt inks. Solid Ink Technology The applied solid ink (CrystalPointTM) technology is already being used commercially for color printing on plain paper, where it results in prints with strong brilliant colors and sharp defined printed lines, text and other features. In the printing process the solid ink (in the form of TonerPearls™, Figure 1) is melted in the print heads and jetted onto the paper by piezo technology in pL-sized droplets which immediately solidify again on the surface. No drying or fixation step is required. Figure 1: Cyan, magenta, yellow and black TonerPearlsTM The fact that the ink solidifies fast on the medium makes the technology especially suitable for printing on plain paper. Textiles are even more porous media than plain paper. The strengths of CrystalPointTM technology on plain paper could also be applicable on textiles. At the same time, if CrystalPointTM does not require media pre- or post-treatment, it would require a much less complex workflow compared to traditional liquid textile inkjet inks. Experimental and Results Printing experiments were performed on a PiXDRO LP50 desktop inkjet printer from Roth and Rau equipped with one print head (from Océ Technologies) and a heatable substrate table. TonerPearls™ from Océ Technologies were used as hot-melt inks. For first investigations different textile materials like polyester, cotton, polyamide, PVC coated glass fiber or polypropylene were printed with a simple grid pattern using black TonerPearls™. After that, washing fastness (DIN EN ISO 105-C6), sublimation fastness (DIN 54056), rubbing/crock fastness (DIN EN ISO 105-X12) and light fastness (DIN EN ISO 105-B02) of the printed fabrics were tested and evaluated. While on average the color fastness tests to washing and sublimation were quite unsatisfactory for all samples, the light fastness was sufficient (> level 5 blue scale) independent of the textile substrate. Looking at the Crockmeter tests for testing rubbing fastness (Figure 2), there are bigger differences in the results, not only related to chemical composition of the textile but rather to the textile structure (kind of texture). Moreover, the wet rubbing test results are usually better than the dry ones due to the water-repellent character of the hot-melt ink, whereby a one-layer print was always better than a three-layer print. - Dry - - Wet - 5 5 4 4 3 3 2 1 layer 2 1 3 layers 1 1 2 3 d F 2 3 F CS CO ze PP G S 1 S CS CO PP ES ES a C-G P P PES ira PE PE PES v rceri re e PVC- revir PV T m T CO, CO, mercerized Figure 2: Color fastness to rubbing for different printed textile materials (black TonerPearls™, grid pattern, 1 layer and 3 layers). Crockmeter test results (DIN EN ISO 105-X12, dry and wet): grey scale for assessing staining (5 = no staining; 1 = strong staining) Crock fastness tests (dry and wet) on additionally six different knitwear samples of polyamide, polyester or cotton material, which were printed with a filled black area at 750 dpi, did not result in a higher grade than three (not shown here). The same results were obtained when the samples were pre-treated as in usual inkjet printing processes. This also indicates that there is no direct chemical bonding between hot-melt ink and textile surface. In order to observe ink penetration into the textiles high-resolution SEM pictures of selected textile samples and their cross sections were taken (Figure 3). PES-1 PES-2 CO-1 CO-2 ink Figure 3: HR SEM pictures of printed polyester (PES-1) and cotton (CO-1) fabric (black TonerPearls™, 3 layers) and their cross sections (PES-2, CO-2) prepared by Ion beam Cross section Polisher (ICP) Comparing printed polyester (PES) with cotton sample (CO), for both, the major part of the ink is situated on or just between the upper fibers. Fiber wetting appears to be slightly improved for the cotton fabric due to the looser bundled structure of cotton staple fibers. By heating up the textile substrate, the wettability and the penetration of the ink into the fabric was improved (Figure 4) resulting in a slightly better rubbing fastness. Figure 4: Microscope pictures (250x) showing influence of heated substrate table (left: T = 20 °C, right: T = 50 °C) on printed CO/silk satin (black TonerPearls™, 750 dpi, 2 layers) The influence of temperature in the printing process can be used to regulate ink spreading and penetration, in order to achieve an optimum ink coverage of the textile surface. As resulted in different testings generally a large substrate surface area is required to obtain a good adhesion or fixation for the hot-melt ink. Summary and Outlook In digital textile printing solid ink technology offers an environmentally sound possibility to produce prints on textiles in one or more layers with high acuity. Color fastness of the printed textiles mainly depends on physical i.e. adhesive interaction between ink and textile. For a better ink fixation the contact between ink and textile fibers has to be maximized by e.g. choosing a woven structure as “open” as possible and temperature adjustment to fit the wetting behavior such as ink spreading and penetration. Further investigations to improve ink fixation are in progress. According to improved wet rubbing fastness results, first focus of hot-melt ink printing applications is soft signage and interior decoration for printing textile displays, banners, flags or wallpapers (wall fleece). Indoor applications additionally profit from the solvent- and emission-free technology.

  • Textiles Under Mughals
    Chapter V Textiles under Mughals- The advent of the Mughal dynasty gave an undeniable boost to production of the up-market textile, as to other craft. Textiles are singled out for mentioned by Abul Fazl, the minister and biographer of Akbar (1556-1605), in his Ain-i-Akbari, compile in the 1590‟s as a subject in which the emperor took particular interest. Akbar favoured woollen garment – the chosen wear of Sufis (Muslim mystics) – „from his indifference to everything that is worldly‟ in preference to the richer stuffs. His penchant for wool is also indicated by the steps he took to improve shawl manufacture; especially in the relation to dyes and width of fabric.1 Ain-i- Akbari goes into fascinating details on the manner of classifying garments in the imperial wardrobe (toshkhana). The textiles were arranged according to the date of entry which was recorded, sometime with other information, on a label tacked on to the piece (practice which survived in provision toshkhana into the 20th century). Price, colour and weight were also taken into account. Within these boundaries, textile took precedence according to the nature of the day, astrologically auspicious or otherwise on which they were received. A further refinement took into account the colours, of which thirty five are listed in the order of precedence. Abul Fazl further records that imperial workshops had been set up in the cities of Lahore, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri and Ahmedabad, where the best of the local craftsmen were requisitioned to supply the needs of the court.2 Persian masters were brought in to teach improved techniques.

  • Fabric Construction
    Fabric Construction Textile materials are produced by different construction methods. There are many advantages and disadvantages to each method which affect their end use. Weaving and knitting are the most common fabric construction methods. Other methods include non-woven fabrics such as felting, laminating and bonding. Woven Fabric Fabrics are woven on a loom by interlacing two yarns at right angles to each other. The horizontal yarns are called weft yarns. Warp yarns run The weft yarns are wrapped around the vertical the length warp yarns to create of the fabric, known an edge to the fabric, as the grain. known as the Selvedge. • Bias-the diagonal or cross grain of a woven fabric. • Selvedge- is the edge of a woven fabric that doesn’t fray. • Grain- runs the length of the fabric. ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGE • Woven fabrics are at their strongest • Woven fabrics easily fray when cut. along the grain. • Lack elasticity. • The closer the weave the stronger and firmer the fabric. There are various woven fabrics; however below are the varieties you are likely to encounter: Plain weave Cotton, calico, muslin, lawn, shantung and rip-stop Nylon are common examples of plain weave fabrics. Characteristics: it looks the same from the front and back, has an even surface making it an ideal choice to print on. Twill weave Denim is the most popular twill weave fabric other examples include, drill, serge and gabardine. Characteristics: the front and back of the fabric is different. It is a strong and durable fabric ideal for home furnishings and work wear. Satin weave Satin, Sateen, duchesse and damask are all examples of satin weave fabrics.

  • President's Message
    2013 — Issue 06 The Gazette of the FEBRUARY President’s Message Dear Fellow Members, This winter is turning out to be a super busy time for us. We recently had an interesting talk from Nicholas Thaete about chair caning. Many members have told me that they love the class he is now offering. Maybe we can ask for another class for those who were unable to attend this time. On February 7th we’ll have a presentation on IKAT weaving, by Marcia Weiss, at our meeting, with a workshop on the following day, February 8th. This is an interesting technique and I’m looking forward to attending the workshop. There’s still room for more members if you’re interested. Susan Davis will bring additional examples of IKAT pieces to the meeting. Among our goals for the new year, upgrading of the web site is very important. Nancy Shiffrin created our web site over ten years ago, and we appreciate her making it functional as long as it has been in place. With the acceleration of technology we now see that there is more that we need to add to make our site consistent with the latest expectations of cyber-technology. Our aim will be a system that is easier to use and still interesting for the readers. This may necessitate our getting a different server. We’re getting some cyber-ideas for the web site from Julia Wilson, our member with considerable com- puter savvy. A small committee will be working on the transition, chaired jointly by Tiffany Robbins and Amoi Goldman.

Cloth in Contemporary West Africa: A Symbiosis of Factory-made and Hand-made Cloth Heather Marie Akou Introduction The concepts of "tradition" and "fashion" both center on the idea of change. Fashion implies change, while tradition implies a lack of change. Many scholars have attempted to draw a line between the two, often with contradictory results. In a 1981 article titled, "Awareness: Requisite to Fashion," Mary Ellen Roach-Higgins argued that, If people in a society are generally not aware of change in form of dress during their lifetimes, fashion does not exist in that society. Awareness of change is a necessary condition for fashion to exist; the retrospective view of the historian does not produce fashion. I Although she praised an earlier scholar, Herbert Blumer, for promoting the serious study offashion2, their conceptualizations of the line between tradition and fashion differed.

  • The Emperor's Humbler Clothes
    SYLVIA HOUGHTELING THE EMPEROR’S HUMBLER CLOTHES Textures of Courtly Dress in Seventeenth- century South Asia Abstract This study reconstructs the humbler components of South Asian courtly ensembles worn by the greatest Mughal emperors, which included relatively inexpensive tie-dyed cloths made in Rajasthan and finely spun cotton muslins from Bengal. Court biographies, popular lexicons, and the letters sent from the Mughal court to its Rajput allies reveal that the fabrics used for dress in early modern South Asia were valued for sensory qualities, such as softness, saturation of color, and coolness on the skin, that went beyond the cost of the materials or the sophistication of the technology used to produce them. This project transports the study of dress in early modern South Asia beyond its current focus on the material wealth of imperial costumes to recover the sensory experience of wearing airy cotton and velvety wool, as well as the sophisticated intellectual, poetic, and political messages that could be carried in the fabric of a courtly coat. In his 1641 autobiography, the Jain merchant Banarasidas described the ways in which the tex- ture of life changed in the north Indian city of Jaunpur following news of the death of Emperor Akbar in 1605. “The people, bereft of their emperor, felt orphaned and hopeless,” he wrote.1 The wealthy feared that chaos would descend; they buried their jewelry and sealed their doors. They also changed their attire: Men began to wear plain clothes And casting off fine shawls, wrapped themselves in rough blankets The women too began to dress plainly.2 Conditions returned to normal ten days later, when the news spread that Prince Salim, QUICK CITATION Akbar’s son, had ascended to the throne as Emperor Jahangir and now reigned throughout the Houghteling, Sylvia.
