T Printing 1

Transfer printing is a process that transfers a design from paper to fabric using heat, pressure, and volatile dyes. There are three main types of transfer printing: heat transfer printing uses a press or printer to transfer a pattern via heat; melt transfer printing uses a coated ribbon to apply material to paper or fabric by melting the coating; phase transfer printing alters the rate of transfer of a reactant across an interface using a catalyst. The transfer printing process involves printing a design on paper using special volatile dyes, then placing the printed paper on fabric and applying heat and pressure to diffuse the dyes into the fabric fibers. Polyester and cellulose triacetate fabrics and disperse dyes are commonly used. Transfer printing can be

PRESENTATION ON

PRINTING: It is a process of localized coloration


of fabric by using different methods.

METHODS OF PRINTING
1. TRANSFER PRINTING 2. PIGMENT PRINTING 3. CONVENTIONAL PRINTING

TRANSFER PRINTING
It is a process of transferring the design from paper to fabric. It was discovered by a french engineer, De Plassey, in 1960.

HEAT TRANSFER MELT TRANSFER PHASE TRANSFER

Heat transfer printing is a method of transferring a desired pattern via heat onto a substrate. There are two ways to transfer the pattern--with a press or with an inkjet or electrostatic printer. Suitable substrates include paper, plastic, cloth and many others. Enhancement of the reaction rate of a two-phase organic-water system by addition of a catalyst which alters the rate of transfer of water-soluble reactant across the interface to the organic phase.

Thermal transfer printing (Melt transfer) is a digital printing process in which material is applied to paper (or some other material) by melting a coating of ribbon so that it stays glued to the material on which the print is applied. It contrasts with direct thermal printing where no ribbon is present in the process. It was invented by SATO corporation around the late 1940s

TECHNIQUE OF TRANSFER PRINTING


In this, a design is printed on a paper with a suitable volatile dye, then that dye is transferred to the fabric under controlled condition of temperature, pressure & time.

APPLICATION
It is carried out in two steps. 1. Firstly , the desired pattern is printed on paper by using special volatile dyes. 2. Printed paper is than placed on the fabric, heat & pressure is applied on the backside of paper. By heating, the dye diffuses into interior of fibres. No after treatment is required.

DYES USED
Disperse dye is mainly suitable for transfer printing. Water insoluble dyes are used because water soluble dyes have some groups on them which creates problem in vaporization. Disperse dyes of anthraquinone based are used. Size of dye particle or Molecular Weight of dye should be <350.

MATERIAL USED
Polyester & Cell. triacetate fabric are ideally suitable for transfer printing. Reasons: Good colour range. Good washing fastness. Good stability at high temperature.

Fibres with a low softening point are totally unsuitable for this process. Blends with cellulosic & animals fibres have only pale effect.

PAPER USED

Paper should be resilient, rigid & smooth. Good resilient because, if it creases then the design will be distorted. It should have weight 55-80gm/sq.mt. The paper should be withstand a temperature about 220c.

TYPES OF M/CS USED

FLAT BED PRINTING M/C


CONTINOUS CALENDER PRINTING M/C

FLAT BED: The fabric or garment is placed on


the press bed & the pre-printed release papers places on it. It is then hot pressed b/w 180-220c for 30 to 20 sec. Thus the pattern on the oriented paper is transferred on to the fabric or garment & then removed from the m/c.

CONTINUOUS CALENDER: In this m/c, the


fabric & pre-printing release paper pass in close contact with each other round a large cylinder (0.5-2 m in dia). Both are in contact by an endless blanket under tension. The cylinder is heated upto 220C and the fabric in contact with the paper is passed over it for 15-20 sec. Thus the pattern on the paper is transferred onto the fabric.

ADVANTAGES

High speed production. Low capital cost & less space required. Saves water & pollution. Good washing fastness.

DISADVANTAGES

Applied on only man-made fibres. No flexibility for correction of colour. Problem of dispose of paper. Addition softening treatment required.
