Process Flow Chart Of Pigment Printing On Cotton Fabric | Binder System

Pigment Printing

Pigments are mainly synthetic organic materials. It has no affinity to the fabric. For this reason, the binder is used for making a film on the pigment surface. A 3-dimensional cross-linking is produced between fiber and pigment. After drying, curing is done at 150 – 180 degrees Celsius for fixing the pigments on the fabric surface. Pigment printing is cheaper than other printing processes.
