Compression properties of knitted fabrics printed by sublimation transfer printing technique

Compression properties of textile materials are useful for determining fullness, softness, smoothness, and stiffness. In addition, compression parameters have significant influence on fabric hand value quality materials. The present paper reports a study the sublimation printing process change in knitted fabrics (polyester, cotton, cotton/ polyester) intended sportswear manufacturing. For that purpose, KES-FB3-A Tester was used measuring fabrics. parameters, which contributed to smallest reduction percentage polyester were yarn linear density weight. cotton-rich coating powder modification bond disperse dyes cotton fibres. analysis results showed had smaller polyesters relation cotton/polyester It noted effect thickness all varying degrees. Printing small decrease compressibility specific volume values (from 34.46% 47.89%) 38.81% 50.75%) range from 41.86% 44.19% 42.37% 45.75% notted.
