Abstract Cotton fibers have a high crystallinity, which makes a large number of reactive hydroxyl groups blocked and therefore affects the ink-jet printing performance of reactive dyes on cotton fabrics. In this work, the alkali treatment was employed to adjust the structure of cotton fibers. The crystallinity of treated cotton fibers reduced from 73.9–58.5%, and the breaking strength did not decrease compared with original cotton fiber. Thus, the accessible reactive hydroxyl groups and the wettability were enhanced for treated cotton fibers, which promoted the penetration of inks into the fibers. The optimal K/S value of 23.47 was achieved for treated cotton fabrics which was higher than that of untreated cotton fabrics (17.15). Meanwhile, the printed fabrics displayed good washing fastness, rubbing fastness and glossiness. This work provides an effective way for improving the utilization of dye solution and producing high-quality cotton fabric digital printing products.

To confirm that parameters to control gray balance in G7 are whether apply to ink-jet printing. On the theoretical basis of ink-jet printing principle, gray balance control method and the G7 specification, through designs the test sheet and prints it with digital ink-jet printer, then, measures the parameters in G7 which influence the gray balance effects. The experimental results show that the data come from the test sheet is basically consistent with G7 standard data in neutral grey density of HR, HC, SC. Moreover, the neutral grey in CMY overprint and monochromatic K can be well matched. All above results indicated that G7 can effectively monitor the gray balance of digital ink-jet printing.

The Fourier Transform

In this study, the cationic Poly[Styrene-Butyl acrylate-(P-vinylbenzyl trimethyl ammonium chloride)] P(St-BA-VBT) nanospheres with N+(CH3)3 functional groups were successfully synthesized by soap-free emulsion polymerization and applied to different fabrics by pad-cure process. After the pad-cure process, the nanospheres were deposited on the surface of the modified cotton fibers successfully without forming a continuous film structure. The X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) results demonstrated that P(St-BA-VBT) nanospheres were adsorbed on the surface of cotton fibers successfully. The excellent color strength value and outline sharpness of the plain, twill, and honeycomb fabrics can be achieved when the nanosphere concentration, sodium bicarbonate, and steaming time were 1 g/L, 10 g/L, and 6 min, respectively. The plain fabrics exhibited the smallest color strength (K/S) values and the best outline sharpness, followed by twill and honeycomb fabrics, which displayed the largest K/S values and the worst outline sharpness after the same treatment. Besides, all the three fabrics showed excellent rubbing fastness and washing fastness. The cationic P(St-BA-VBT) nanospheres modification of the cotton fabrics provides a novel potential approach to obtain good printing efficiency without affecting the tensile breaking strength of cotton fabrics significantly.

In digital printing process, the color reproduction quality is no longer determined by printing sequence, trapping, solid density and etc., since the technique is different from traditional printing technology. In order to analyze the effects of paper on color reproduction quality in digital ink-jet printing, three kinds of commercial paper were selected and a set of experiments were carried out by using color management technique to simulate the digital proofing. The density and chromaticity of both primary color and composite color in each printed were measured. The effects of paper’s characters on shadow, mid-tone and highlight were analyzed and discussed. Finally the influence on color reproduction quality principle, including chromaticity and absorbing characteristics of paper, was revealed. The conclusion has certain significance in directive function in ink-jet printing.
