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.
Digital technology acts as a driving force of modern civilization, have led to significant changes in everyday life, made possible by the widespread use of computers. Based on the utilization of 3D CAD simulation, the product development in the clothing industry becomes faster and faster. The integration of 3D CAD systems for garment design leads to higher accurate cloth fitting which in previously took a long time to match the actual measurement demanded by the buyer using real time dummy. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of 3D CAD with computer simulation to facilitate better body fitting during construction without using physical dummy by converting 2D CAD into virtual 3D prototype using CAD software. Our aim is to conceptualize a system that allows the designer to develop a product precisely as per buyer requirement to ensure the best quality service with the least span of time.
Dyeing of cotton fabric with turmeric (Curcuma longa) extract solution is an experimental dyeing method here. In this paper, we are trying to give a comparative study about the color fastness properties of turmeric dyed knit fabrics specifically color fastness to wash, water, perspiration, rubbing and saliva. Dyeing processes were completed by a common method for cotton fabrics and being compared with and without mordant. All experiments were performed according to ISO standard. We found that mordant can enhance the color fastness properties of cotton fabrics dyed with turmeric extract, comparatively better than without mordant. We also seek possibility of applying natural dyes with other synthetic dyes by experimental results.
