Methods of enhancing printing quality of pigment compositions onto cotton fabrics

摘要

Disclosed are methods for enhancing the quality of printing on cotton- containing fabrics. Specifically, this methods disclosed herein recite the pretreatment of cotton-containing fabrics with cellulase prior to printing in order to enhance printing characteristics on the fabric such as pigment uptake, enhanced clarity, reduced pigment bleeding, and the like. The methods disclosed herein generally entail treating cotton- containing fabrics with an aqueous cellulase formulation and preferably with an aqueous cellulase solution under agitating conditions.
