Influence Of Heat Treathment On Caracteristics Of Inkjet Prints On Textile Material

Abstract

This paper presents research regarding influence of heat treatment on changes of prints on textile material whichare obtained by inkjet printing technique. Research was done on three characteristic materials (100 % polyester)on which ware printed test chart. Test chart consisted of four colour fields each 100% of one of process colours(CMYK). Printing machine used was Mimaki JV22-160 with J-eco Subly nano inks. Variable factor was numberof ink layers, textile materials ware printed with one, two, three, four and five layers of ink. The analysis of heattreatment influence on prints was done according to SRPS F.S3.311 standard (temperature 110 0C). Total of 60samples were analyzed, 20 for each material used in this experiment. Resistance of colour to heat treatment andtransfer to cotton cloth was determined for characteristic temperatures by using the gray scale. The surface changesof textile material before and after heat treatment ware monitored by SEM analysis.
