The essential knowledge for learning clothing printing technology includes the following basic knowledge:
1. Printing technology classification: Understand the different printing technology classifications , such as screen printing, heat transfer printing, digital direct printing, batik, etc. Each printing process has its own applicable clothing materials, printing effects and characteristics.
2. Fabric material: Understand the impact of different fabric materials on the printing process. Different fabric materials have different ink absorption, ductility and stability. These factors will affect the effect and durability of printing.
3. Design and production: Learn how to design and produce prints. It is necessary to understand the basic principles of printing design, including color matching, pattern composition and detail processing. At the same time, you also need to understand how to convert the design into file formats suitable for different printing processes, such as vector images and bitmaps.
4. Color management: Learn how to perform color management to ensure accurate reproduction of printing colors. Understand basic concepts and techniques such as color modes, color spaces, and color correction and color calibration.
5. Equipment and processes: Learn the equipment and processes required for different printing processes. Understand the types, operating principles, maintenance and debugging of printing equipment. At the same time, you also need to be familiar with various process links, such as pre-processing, printing color control, color fixing processing and post-finishing.
6. Quality Control: Learn how to perform printing quality control. Understand common printing quality problems and their causes, and learn to use quality inspection tools and methods to evaluate and improve printing quality.
Through systematic study of the above basic knowledge, we can lay a solid foundation for in-depth understanding and mastery of clothing printing technology. In addition, you can also combine actual operations and practical experience to continuously improve your skills and levels.
