  • Publication number: 20240344269
    Abstract: A post printing apparatus for drying and curing printed textiles, comprises a first, pre-curing, section to dry a printed textile, a second, curing, section to cure the dried textile from the first section, and a controller. The controller obtains data of the printing of the printed textile and uses that data to control timing and/or temperature of one or both of the first section and the curing section. The apparatus may thus provide a customized post printing process for different kinds and colors of garments and the different printing processes that they may have undergone.

  • Publication number: 20240257393
    Abstract: Palletization apparatus for loading a garment onto a pallet for processing comprises a form pallet, having an upper surface and a form collar, and an imaging device that views the pallet and the collar area. The garment meanwhile has a neckline or collar. The imaging device is connected to an image processor and the image processor identifies the region around the form collar and the garment neckline or collar and determines firstly that the garment is present, and then secondly that the garment neckline or collar is symmetrically placed in relation to the form collar, thereby to provide an indication of correct placement of the garment on the form pallet.

  • Publication number: 20240228809
    Abstract: Provided herein is an inkjet dye-sublimation ink composition that is formulated to interact with an immobilizing composition such that the ink composition coagulates on the surface of an absorptive substrate, thereby substantially limiting soaking of the ink composition into the substrate. Also provided are a printing process and a printing machine, wherein the ink composition is directly printed on the substrate concomitantly with the immobilizing composition, and thereafter undergo heat-pressing to afford a dye-sublimation transfer of the dye to the substrate, thereby forming an image which is characterized by sharp and well defined edges of the dyed areas.

  • Patent number: 11987930
    Abstract: Provided herein is a method for forming an image on a dyed synthetic fabric, using a dye-discharge agent, the method is effected by printing an ink composition on the fabric and applying a dye-discharge agent essentially on the same area of the ink composition, wherein applying the dye-discharge agent is effected while the ink composition is still wet (uncured), prior to a curing of the image, and followed by curing the fully formed image, whereas the dye-discharge agent discharged the dye that migrated during the curing step, but not the dyed fabric.

  • Publication number: 20240052564
    Abstract: A method of printing a garment, particularly for use in sport and outdoor activities, to retain moisture wicking or heat management properties of an underlying fabric. The method comprises mapping active body regions onto a print file for the garment. Thus the print file defines standard print areas and modified print areas where the modified printing areas correspond to the active body regions. Printing onto the garment over the standard print areas uses a standard ink density, but printing onto the garment at the active areas uses a second lower ink density which preserves, or at least does less harm to, wicking and venting properties of the underlying fabric.

  • Publication number: 20240010009
    Abstract: Provided herein is a method for digitally printing an image on a fabric in the form of a film on the surface of the fabric, such that the film is characterized by improved properties over the entire image. The method is implemented by compiling in a test run a look-up table for at least one functional composition that confers a desired property to the image, and using the look-up table for printing any given image using just the optimal amount of the functional composition and only on portions of the image that require improvement.
