In the step of singeing of the disclosure, a German Osthoff singeing machine is used, with a flame injection pressure of 15 milli-pascals (mbar), a fabric passing speed (also referred to as running speed) of 100 meters per minute (m/min), and burners respectively facing towards front and rear side of a fabric.

A biological enzyme pretreatment process technique with high efficiency short process is adopted. The process parameters of the biological enzyme pretreatment process with high efficiency short process include: 1.5 g/L of desizing enzyme (e.g., LD-6); 1 g/L of penetrant (e.g., MP-2); 1:6 of bath ratio; 300 m/min of cloth lifting speed; main pump efficiency: 90%, and quality index requirements including 5-9 centimeters per 5 minutes of capillary effect and a PH value in a range of 7-8.

The step of sizing adopts the positioned sizing that uses flat screen to scrape the sizing agent to the position of the pattern to be digital spray-printed instead of traditional full-width sizing for sizing and printing, and in the step of flat screen scraping sizing, a formula per 100 kg of the sizing agent includes:

70 kilograms (kg) of chemical synthesis paste; 3 kg of sodium bicarbonate; 1 kg of colorless anti-dyeing salt (e.g., 3-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid sodium salt); 3 kg of sodium sulfate; 7 kg of urea; 3 kg of hygroscopic agent (e.g., ST373 that a mixture of polyols and ether); and 13 kg of water. Among them, a formula per 100 kg of the chemical synthesis paste includes: 6 kg of polymer powder (e.g., DG-2 that a mixture in powder of natural and synthetic polymers) and 94 kg of water.

The chemical synthesis paste needs to be puffed evenly, and an overnight standing method is adopted to increase the puffing degree; the step of flat screen scraping sizing adopts synchronous scraping with printing, and after the scraping, the fabric is pre-dried on a machine station with an infrared dryer at a drying temperature of 80° C., and the flat screen pattern printing and the digital inkjet pattern printing are both performed.

In an embodiment, the digital ink adopts Honghua digital reactive ink, and its particle size is controlled below 1 micrometers (μm); ingredients per kilogram of flat screen pattern printing color paste includes: 1-10 grams (g) of reactive dye; 20-50 g of urea; 10-20 g of sodium bicarbonate; 400-600 g of semi-emulsified paste; and 320-570 g of water.

In the disclosure, the printing adopts the Japanese Toshin flat screen pattern printing machine equipped with Honghua digital pattern printing system, the digital inkjet pattern printing is used for fine patterns, and the traditional flat screen pattern printing method is used for large bottom scraping patterns, which greatly improves the production efficiency, and saves production costs.

When preparing the semi-emulsified paste, the selection of emulsifier and the uniform emulsification are the keys to the preparation.
  • (3) The selection of large bottom scraping dye and process development: In order to obtain a strong and bright printing color effect, and prevent uneven dyeing and color wilting, we use imported Ciba P-type reactive dyes and adopt an open source automatic mixing system to prepare the color paste, with the viscosity between 350-450 pascal-second (Pa·S), and carry out intensive and intelligent management, so that the production process is environmentally friendly, energy-saving and emission-reducing.
