Background
Textile printing is divided into color printing and special printing. The coloring printing refers to dye printing or pigment printing, and is characterized in that a dye or pigment capable of dyeing textile fabric is applied to a local part of the surface of one side of the textile fabric through a physical or chemical method, and then the dye or pigment is deposited through a physical or chemical reaction, has certain bonding fastness with textile fabric fibers, forms a whole process of local dyeing on the textile, often uses four colors of red, yellow, blue and black as basic colors, and is blended to obtain various colors.
The special printing is to apply some special materials to the surface of the fabric by screen printing, roll coating, hand painting, transferring, electrostatic attraction, even 3D printing and other modes, finally form three-dimensional special effects of gold stamping, high solid, cracking, gold flashing, burnt-out, flocking and the like, and greatly increase the added value of the fabric. The most common gold stamping process is used, various gold colors, silver colors and laser interference effects are stamped on the fabric, and the market is particularly popular in recent years.
The digital thermal transfer printing refers to that disperse dye which is easy to sublimate at high temperature is ground together with a diffusant to certain fineness to prepare CMYK multicolor ink which can be sprayed and painted through a piezoelectric type nozzle, the CMYK multicolor ink is sprayed and painted on paper coated with an ink absorption layer to form a printing pattern under the control of a computer according to needs, the pattern paper is attached to a polyester fabric after being dried, the temperature and the pressure are increased, the disperse dye is sublimated and is dyed on the polyester fabric, and the process is called the digital thermal transfer printing of the polyester fabric. The method has the advantages of energy conservation and emission reduction, vivid pattern, simple and convenient production and the like. From the above description, it is known that digital thermal transfer belongs to the field of color printing.
The gold stamping printing in the special printing is generally to print gold stamping glue on a gold stamping film through a gravure printing, attach the gold stamping film printed with the gold stamping glue to a fabric, heat and press the gold stamping film and the fabric, finally tear off the gold stamping film, and attach the gold stamping glue and an aluminum plated layer on the gold stamping film to the fabric simultaneously to emit high gloss such as gold, silver, or laser interference. However, the gold stamping process has the biggest defect that the local part of the pattern cannot be subjected to the positioning gold stamping process according to the requirement of the pattern; for example, when the printing flower is a flower, the golden color is thermoprinted at the flower core of the flower or the golden color is thermoprinted at the outline of the flower, so that the visual comfort degree of the printing fabric is greatly improved, and the product additional value of the printing fabric is improved.
Chinese patent 201410464495.3 discloses a positioning gold stamping method for textile fabric, which is to print disperse dye gravure printing ink and water-based hot melt adhesive on the surface of a gold stamping film at one time through a gravure by using a multicolor gravure printing machine, attach the printed gold stamping film and polyester fabric, place the gold stamping film and the polyester fabric in a thermal sublimation transfer printing machine, sublimate the disperse dye at 200 ℃, simultaneously apply a gold stamping process, and combine the two processes together at one time. However, this process has several disadvantages, one is that the dye of the color printing part must be printed by using gravure printing, because of the high cost of gravure plate making, high pollution, and the production cost of this process is extremely high; in addition, the process is not suitable for the market demands of small-batch and multi-variety, the market increasingly requires quick response to printed products along with the gradual maturity of network sales, and the small-batch, multi-variety and low cost enable digital printing to be accepted by the market more and more, so that the positioning gold stamping of the digital printing heat transfer printing also has great market demands.
Therefore, how to realize the local positioning gold stamping of patterns on the digital heat transfer printing fabric on the polyester fabric involves improving the visual comfort of the printed fabric and improving the sale price of the printed fabric, and especially has important significance in realizing product differentiation and improving market competitiveness when market competition is increasingly fierce at present.
