Printing is a popular method for all fabrics and garments. It is referred to as localized dyeing, in which dyes or pigments are applied using different techniques that can provide a particular color effect on the fabric surface according to the design. High-density printing is one of the most essential fabric and garment printing processes which results in a raised or textured surface on the fabric. In this study, we examined the performance of turpentine oil instead of silicon oil in high-density rubber printing on cotton cloth. Based on colorfastness to washing, colorfastness to rubbing, colorfastness to perspiration, colorfastness to saliva, and colorfastness to light, the performance of the printed fabric was assessed. We also evaluated the expense of the printing chemicals and the smell of the printed fabric. Turpentine oil saves around 10% on chemical costs, brings satisfactory results, and smells like kerosene. By curing the printed cloth or exposing it to sunlight for 4-5 days, this odor can be eliminated.

Abstract
Printing is a popular method for all fabrics and garments. It is referred to as localized dyeing, in which dyes or pigments are applied using different techniques that can provide a particular color effect on the fabric surface according to the design. High-density printing is one of the most essential fabric and garment printing processes which results in a raised or textured surface on the fabric. In this study, we examined the performance of turpentine oil instead of silicon oil in high-density rubber printing on cotton cloth. Based on colorfastness to washing, colorfastness to rubbing, colorfastness to perspiration, colorfastness to saliva, and colorfastness to light, the performance of the printed fabric was assessed. We also evaluated the expense of the printing chemicals and the smell of the printed fabric. Turpentine oil saves around 10% on chemical costs, brings satisfactory results, and smells like kerosene. By curing the printed cloth or exposing it to sunlight for 4-5 days, this odor can be eliminated.
