Abstract: | In this paper, chitosan was suggested for using as a replacement for sodium alginate in the pretreatment print paste for digital
ink-jet printing for cotton fabric. Pretreatment print pastes prepared from the mixture of chitosan and acetic acid with the
appropriate viscosity gave satisfactory prints on the cotton fabric. Chitosan-treated cotton fabrics were digitally irk-jet
printed with four different colors and the color fastness rating of the printed fabrics was satisfactory. Experimental results
revealed the possibility of pre-treating the cotton with chitosan to replace the sodium alginate normally present in the pretreatment
print paste recipe. |
