There are many patterned clothing fabrics in the market, but they are basically made by printing, embroidery, and jacquard. These three processes are very different. , so the flower shapes produced are also very different, so let’s take a look at the characteristics and differences of these three processes:
Printed fabric
Printing is the process of using dyes or coatings to form patterns on woven fabrics. Printing is local dyeing and has higher requirements for the color fastness of dyes or coatings. The printing process is divided into reactive printing and general printing. To distinguish, there is also a kind of printing paper that belongs to thermal transfer printing. This kind of printing paper is placed directly on the fabric. The pattern can be easily transferred to the fabric with an electric iron or heat transfer machine. This kind of printing paper is widely used. Such as clothing, dolls, T-shirts, hats, shoes, gloves, socks, bags, leather products, plastic products, wood products, etc.;
Embroidered fabric
Embroidery technology is a pattern embroidered on woven fabrics by machine or manually. This process has good color fastness and is not easy to fade after washing. It also has good breathability and moisture absorption. Computer embroidery patterns require professional drawing software to complete.
Jacquard fabric
Jacquard technology is quite different from the previous two. Both printing and embroidery are in weaving. Good fabrics are printed or embroidered, while jacquard uses yarns of different colors to interlace to form convex and concave patterns to form patterns during weaving. Jacquard fabric has better breathability and higher relative cost.
