Question

Transfer printing is an example for

• A. Direct style
• B. Resist style
• C. Discharge style
• D. Rotary style

Hint:

Transfer printing is a type of direct printing, even though it uses an intermediate paper. The dye is ultimately transferred directly to the fabric.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding Printing Styles: Direct Printing: The design is printed directly onto the fabric. Discharge Printing: Color is removed from a previously dyed fabric to create the design. Resist Printing: A resist paste is applied to the fabric to prevent dye penetration in certain areas, creating the design.
Step 2: Transfer Printing Process: In transfer printing, the design is first printed onto a special release paper using disperse dyes. Then, the paper is brought into contact with the fabric (typically polyester), and heat and pressure are applied. The dyes sublimate (turn from solid to gas) and transfer from the paper to the fabric.
Step 3: Classification as Direct Printing It is called direct style, as the print is directly applied to the fabric.
