When talking about cashmere sweaters, the first impression is probably high-end, elegant and classy, high-quality, and extremely expensive!
Why it's so expensive? Because all the materials, processes and techniques are strictly screened. Today we are going to talk about: cashmere sweater printing. How is cashmere sweater printed? Cashmere sweaters generally use digital printing. The saturated colors and precision of digital printing are incomparable to ordinary techniques.
Let's focus on the process and procedures of digital printing on cashmere sweaters.
1. Sizing
Sizing is a term in our industry. It means applying an excessive layer of sizing base on the cashmere sweater. The function of this sizing base is to enable the ink to easily color the clothes during printing.
Sizing is done manually on the countertop. First, the young ladies in our sweater laying group neatly lay the clothes on the countertop. Then, they use a wrench to lift the screen printing mesh board and scrape the sizing evenly on the sweater.
2. Drying
After sizing, move the clothes to the oven to dry in preparation for printing.
3. Printing
First, lay out the sweater well (there is a plastic board specifically for laying sweaters on the printer). Then, the person in charge of printing will do the printing. This is a delicate task and of utmost importance. If something gets wrong, all previous efforts may be in vain. Therefore, our printers are trained to make sure the quality.
4. Drying again
Why do we need to dry again? It is because the ink printed on the clothes is not completely dry. At this time, we will use something called a tunnel furnace. We lift the board (with the clothes on it) to the tunnel furnace. After the clothes are baked at high temperature in the tunnel furnace, they will be unloaded and wait for the next process.
5. Color fixation in steam oven
We put the baked clothes into the steam oven. After fumigation for a specific period of time, this process is completed. As for the temperature and time, it depends on different wools and processes.
6. Washing
This is the last step and also the most important step. Those who undertake this job are experienced masters with several years of work experience in this position. This involves factors such as the color, feel and color fixation of the final clothes.
