该页面详情均为英文，请谅解。
Basics
- In the past, Mink blankets (also called Raschel blankets) were mainly made from acrylic fibers. For the last couple of years, more and more polyester is being used - mainly for price reasons.
- Nowadays most blankets are still being printed using flat-screen printing machines, but CHROMOJET printing is catching up very fast.
Printing Methods
Most blankets are being printed applying the flat-screen method or the CHROMOJET process color technology using 10 or 12 basic colors.
MagnoPRINT flat-screen printing
- Printing speed is about 10 m/min
- Limited repeat
- Limited number of colors
- Contact printing
- An individual screen is required for every color / design
- Large printing machine with high space demand
CHROMOJET.PRINTER
| Process color jet printing
CHROMOJET technology represents the next level of digital blanket printing; this technology started revolutionizing the blanket printing industry.
Advantages:
- Unlimited repeat
- No screens
- Full penetration
- Easy sampling
- Little space needed
- No color change - little waste water
Printing Process
To achieve good printing results, the Raschel or woven base material must be free of oil and impregnations.
Printing Process for Acrylic blankets
- Printing with CHROMOJET, using cationic dyes
- Penetration enhancement by SUPRAPRESS system
- Steaming for about 5 - 8 minutes with saturated steam of 100°C / 212°F
- Washing
- Drying
Printing Process for Polyester blankets
- Printing with CHROMOJET, using disperse dyes
- Penetration enhancement by SUPRAPRESS system
- Drying
Offline processing
- High-temperature fixation for about 2 minutes at 180°C / 356°F using hot air or overheated steam
- Reductive washing (cold rinsing; washing at a pH value of about 12; rinsing and vacuum extraction)
- Softener application followed by pad mangle or vacuum extraction
- Drying
Alternative processing
- ZIMMER’s high-temperature flow through dryer executes drying and dye fixation after printing in one step
- In this case, no additional steaming process is needed.
