PRINTABILITY OF BAMBOO JERSEY FABRICS IN THERMAL TRANSFER PRINTING SYSTEM
Abstract
Thermal transfer printing system, which works transferred onto textile fabric by heat of the image formed in the film material surface, is a printing system used in textile industry. The exactly transferring onto the textile fabric of the image on the film material and the remain stable of the transferred image after the use and washing conditions are an important indication for a quality print. In this study, firstly it was determined the physical properties of the bamboo jersey fabrics. Then, it was transferred of the image in the thermal printing system on the fabrics at 3 different temperatures. And then it was performed the washing process of fabrics before and after printing and measured the values of L*a*b*, the gloss and the light resistance of the printed fabrics. From the obtained data, the printability of the bamboo jersey fabrics in the thermal printing system and the resistance of the print after the standard washing were determined.
