Abstract

One of the most important benefits of textile inkjet printing is the print quality. However, some factors affect the print quality, such as the weave density. In this research, the effect of weft density on the inkjet printing of polyester was investigated. Lines with different widths were printed in the warp and weft directions, and the print quality was evaluated as the line width. The obtained result showed that the weft density affected the line width and the print quality decreased with an increased weft density. The width of the lines printed in the weft direction is more than the width of lines printed in the warp direction. Also, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) results confirmed the effect of the weft density and the printed lines direction on the line width and print quality. The investigation of the relation between the print quality and the vertical wicking shows a very poor relation between the two.
