Abstract

Optimum conditions involving the contents of the pretreatment print paste and the steaming time for ink-jet printing were newly developed through orthogonal analysis. Cotton fabric treated under the newly developed optimum conditions could achieve a high colour yield for ink-jet printing similar to that of the commercially pretreated cotton fabric available in the market. The results are discussed thoroughly in this paper.
