Pigment emulsions - the heart of quality pigment printing on textile fabric

摘要

In pigment printing, water insoluble pigments are applied onto textiles which do not have any affinity to the substrate. Therefore the pigments are applied together with a printing system which 'glues' the pigments onto the substrate Although printing of textiles using engraved wooden blocks were practiced in Germany and France in the early 15th century, mechanized printing took birth in 1783 when James Bell, a Scotsman invented engraved roller printing.
