The Preparation of Transfer Paper for Novel Silk Transfer Printing

The transfer paper used in novel silk transfer printing with reactive dyes was prepared by coating pastes. Water-soluble polyester named ES-1, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), alkali and hygroscopic agent were used according each function and mixed to prepare the pastes. The solid content of ES-1 and CMC in the pastes plays a crucial role in the face K/S value of prints. The color fastness of washing and rubbing for prints are above grade 4~5 and ES-1 is hardly adhered on printed fabrics.
