Production Technology About Printed Velvet Fabric

   Velvet is a dense three-dimensional pile fabric, consisting of ground, warp and silk pile. The pile threads give velvet fabrics the unique look and feel that a flat fabric simply does not have. Velvet alters in colour in response to changes in light. That's one reason people find it satisfying to run their hands across velvety materials.
   Velvet fabric is produced using a special loom, which weaves the different yarns between two supports into a thick material. It is then split down the middle. This results in two mirrored pieces of fabric that have protruding threads. They provide the 'nap' and the unique silky softness of velvet.
   Currently there are three main ways in which warp-based ('proper') velvet are made. Two of these techniques use looms, the third applies a form of knitting frame. Velvets made on a loom are made of one of the three basic ground weaves, namely tabby, twill or satin. Sometimes two warp threads are used together and this is called an 'extended' tabby, twill or satin. These details are important as different ground weaves give an indication of when and where a piece of velvet was made.

Pringted velvet fabric relates to several printing technique for velvet fabric:

1. The cold transfer printing technique is adopted. The printing technique for the velvet fabric comprises the steps of infrared shaping and brushing and has the advantages that the technique is simple, and operation is easy; the degree of dyeing of paint is high, the use amount of paint can be reduced at least by 40%, no residue or pollution is caused, the use amount of water can be reduced by two thirds, and the recycle rate of discharged water can reach 90%; compared with a normal-temperature printing and normal-temperature color fixing technique, energy can be saved by 65%, the process is short, the printing speed is increased by over three times, cost is low, and the yield is high; printed patterns are high in precision, the patterns of a product are high in definition, the chromatic aberration between the head and the tail is small, the color is stable, the color fastness is high, the washing fastness, the solarization fastness and the dry and wet wiping fastness are all equal to or higher than four grades, and the printing effect reaches the quality of colors obtained through digital printing; in addition, the velvet fabric can have the original good hand feeling fibers after printing, the added value of printing of textiles is effectively increased, the printing technique is suitable for woven fabric, knitted fabric, the velvet fabric and other fabric, and the rate of finished products can reach over 99%.

2. Digital printing,digital printing is the process of printing digital-based images directly onto a variety of media substrates. There is no need for a printing plate, unlike with offset printing. Digital files such as PDFs or desktop publishing files can be sent directly to the digital printing press to print on paper, photo paper, canvas, fabric, synthetics, cardstock and other substrates.

3.Glue printing, the glue printing process is a kind of printing method widely used in the modern printing industry. The glue is used as printing material, and the glue is printed on the fabric by the printing machine Kind of patterns and patterns. The glue printing process has the advantages of high printing quality, rich pattern and color retention Long advantages, so it has been widely used in clothing, home textiles, shoes and hats and other industries.

Haoyang mainly produce velvet sofa fabric, including printed velvet, foil embossed velvet, plain velvet and jacquard velvet.
