Study of the influence of fabric on image reproduction in direct inkjet printing

Abstract

The influence of fabric structure on the quality of direct inkjet printing was investigated. Tests on three types of natural fabrics showed that the weave and structu re of the yarns affect the uniformity of ink application. Printing with a white backing improves color reproduction but highlights the textile's relief. The results emphasize the need to take into account the characteristics of textiles for high-quality printing.
