WHY PRINTING WITH WATER BASED INKS 1

Because they allow to achive prints which comply with the most severe restrictions in terms

• f ecology and safety

for the users Because they allow to achieve prints with different kinds

• f touch

2

Because they allow to print with a simple equipment

3

Because they allow to print also

WATER BASED INKS

Pay specific attention to the resistance of the substrate to be printed to the high temperatures Some water-based inks require high temperature to anchor to the fabric (150°C) These conditions, in some cases, can yellow some kinds of light fabrics To avoid the problem, it is enough to adequately change oven times and temperatures

PRINTING ON DARK SUBSTRATES Discharge printing

It is realized on dyed fabrics (usually in dark tones) In the printed areas the pigment

• f the dyeing (background) is

destroyed through specific reducing agents, thus leaving white areas which can be coloured if, in the paste, in addition to the reducing agent, there is a pigment.

Discharge printing is selected to get small designs with well-defined

• utlines and which are very opaque
• n dark backgrounds. To get a

perfect printing it is essential to select both pigments for the backgrounds dyeing (wich must be corrodible), and pigments used in the printing base (which must be fast to the corrosive agent).

Pay specific attention when printing black or navy blue backgrounds because it is impossible to verify the register of the printed colours: every mistake will be clear only after polimerization.

The elasticity of the prints can be achieved only after polymerization. The polymerization has two functions: let the ink anchor to the substrate and make it elastic. Not all water-based inks are ideal for printing elastic substrates; they must be carefully selected according to the fabric to be printed.

DEVORE’ PRINTING

Fabrics must be specific studied for this kind of printing; indeed the fibre which is eliminated must be at least 50-60% of the fabric in order to have clear effects. The residual fibre must be both in weave and in warp, in order to achieve an adequate stability where the devoré

printing has been done.

The Devoré printing is realized on blended polyester/cellulose fabrics; more rarely on fabrics with other compositions like: Polyamide/Viscose – Silk/Viscose – Wool/Viscose The ink during the polymerization at [140-170]°C burns the cellulose fibres, creating lacy designs in transparency.

Glitter effects can be achieved by using transparent inks mixed or “sprinkled” with Glitter: polyester colored “powders” of different sizes (fineness). For the screen printing application (in mixture) the screen mesh has to be selected in relation to the glitter size.

Prints with a Suede Effect can be achieved by printing the specific base, Texilac Neoprene, mixed with coloured pigments (Texilac coloranti or Ecotex P pigmenti) and then polymerizing at high temperature [160°C, 3 minutes]. The same effect can be achieved by printing with specific plastisol and silicone inks (see the product portfolio of Texiplast and Special Effects)

APPLICATION Transfer can be done by means of a heat press or a calender (standard

transfer conditions: 150° - 12 seconds).

After cooling, the transparent film can be peeled off; in the areas printed with the thermo-adhesive the coloured design will appear. WHAT IS MYTEX To obtain the Mytex effect a thermo-adhesive is first printed and dried in a warm air oven, then the coloured polyester film (Mytex) is applied onto the fabric through a heat transfer process.

To obtain this effect a water-based thermo-adhesive is first printed and dried in a warm air

• ven. Afterwards, the Flock paper is

applied, by means of a heat press or a calender, onto the fabric at 170°C for 20

• seconds. After cooling, the film can be

peeled off; the coloured flock which remains on the fabric creates designs in the area printed with the thermo-adhesive
