Product Details

Printing Process

1
Design and Plate making

First design the pattern and transfer it to the screen plate. Screen printing plates need to be coated with a photographic emulsion, and through exposure to harden the emulsion to form a pattern. The part of the emulsion that is not hardened will allow the ink to pass through, thus forming a pattern on the fabric.

2
Ink preparation

Discharge ink needs to be mixed with activator and pigment. When the mixed ink is ready, it is ready for printing.

3
Printing

Placing the screen plate on the fabric, the ink is evenly scraped across the screen, and the ink is transferred to the fabric through the open part of the screen.

4
Curing

After printing is complete, the fabric needs to be heated to activate the bleach in the ink and complete the discharge process. After curing, the color of the pattern on the fabric is revealed, and the remaining ink and chemicals are finally removed by washing.

Suitable Fabric

Cotton Fabrics

Discharge inks are best used on cotton fabrics, especially dark cotton fabrics.

Other Fabrics

While cotton works best, it can also be used on other natural fiber fabrics, though the results may vary.

Not Suitable

Synthetic fibers (such as polyester, nylon) are usually not suitable for discharge processes because their dyes cannot be removed.

🌿

Environmental factors and safety: Environmentally friendly: Discharge inks usually use water-based formulations that have less impact on the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of fabric is best suited for discharge ink printing?
Discharge inks work best on 100% natural cotton fabrics, especially dark or black cotton, where they can remove the fabric's original dye and replace it with bright colors.
Can discharge inks be used on synthetic fibers like polyester?
No, synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon are generally not suitable for discharge processes because their synthetic dyes cannot be deactivated or removed by the discharge agent.
Why is the feel of discharge printing softer than other inks?
Discharge printing works by discharging the original dye from the fabric fibers instead of laying a thick layer of plastisol ink on top. This results in a print that feels almost as soft as the original unprinted fabric.
Are discharge inks environmentally friendly?
Yes, discharge inks typically utilize water-based formulations. This makes them significantly more eco-friendly and safer for the environment compared to traditional solvent-based printing inks.
What are the main limitations of discharge printing?
The main limitations include a restricted fabric range (mostly limited to cotton), a more complex printing and curing process that requires professional equipment, and difficulty in achieving certain colors like pure black or vivid red.
