Process Flow Of Pigment Printing On Cotton fabric (Binding System)
Pigments are
mainly synthetic organic materials. It has no affinity to the fabric. For this
reason, binder is used for making film on the pigment surface. A 3-dimensional
cross linking is produced between fiber and pigment. After drying, curing is
done at 150 – 180 degree Celsius for fixing the pigments on the fabric surface. Pigment printing is
cheaper than other printing process.
