Resist Printing

Resist printing is a textile printing technique where a design is printed onto fabric using a dye that is resistant to reducing agents, and then an overall color is printed over the entire fabric using a dye that will be removed by the reducing agents in the resist printed areas. This allows a colorful design to show up against the background color. The resist printed areas use dyes that are stable to sodium sulfite, while the overprinted areas use dyes that will be removed by the sodium sulfite in the resist printed regions, leaving the design intact against the colored background. Resist printing provides versatile designs without needing extra screens or machinery, and differs from discharge printing which removes the background color chemically rather than the overprint.

Resist Printing SUBJ-17: Resist Printing Chemicals: Dye (1. MCT Range Dye for ground print, 2.

VS Range Dye for Over print), Urea, Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Sulfite, Alginate Thickener. Purpose: Resist printing is a special effect like Discharge printing. As name suggests resist mean TO STOP. Background of fabric in this technique is colored with a dye having MCT (Mono chloro Triazine) Chemistry. Dyes having this chemistry is more stable to reducing agents like Sodium sulfite which is main player in resist printing. So, Ground printing paste has dye, thickener, mild oxidizing agent, Sodium sulfite. While Over print(Full Bloch) dyes are chosen from VS (Vinyl Sulfone) Range. These dyes are unstable to reducing agents like Sodium sulfite Consequntly a Ground printed portion (usually design/pattern)have sulfite and will eat up all Over color (Full Bloch) on that region. So, over print will only survive those regions which dont have ground printed. Through this mechanism we can achieve versatile designs and patterns.

Difference Between Discharge and Resist Printing: Sometime People may confuse Discharge and Resist Printing. Both are two different methods and have versatile useage in textile industry. Results are amazing and adimreable with very low economy (No extra screens, No high class machinery, No special chemicals). Discharge: Ground color is eaten up/Destroyed chemically with Sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate normally called Rangolit C. Resist: Over color is eaten up/Destroyed chemically through Soium Sulfite.

Discharge: Usually discharge is white because Rangolit C is not stable with dyes. So, both RangolitC and dye can not be used simultaneously Resist: Resist is most of the time colorful because Dyes with MCT Chemistry are stable with sulfite. Discharge: If one wants to have color discharge has to use pigment and binder rather than dye because dyes are not stable with Rangolit C. Where as pigments are stable to Rangolit C. Resist: No need to go for pigment and binder in case of Resist as dyes are stable with functional chemical.
