Abstract

A textile printing method applying inkjet printer comprises the steps for feeding a fabric by a fabric feed roller, applying a pretreatment liquid to the fabric by jetting the pretreatment liquid installed in a pretreatment liquid reservoir installed respective containers filled with individual compositions of a pretreatment liquid, so that such individual compositions are concurrently mixed and applied on the fabric surface to pretreat the fabric by operation of a control unit depending upon the fabric material through a pretreatment head, drying the pretreatment liquid applied to the fabric through a drier, and printing on the dried fabric by jetting the ink installed in a ink reservoir through the printing head. The pretreatment head, the drier and the printing head are serially arranged so that the steps for applying a pretreatment liquid, drying the pretreatment liquid and printing on the dried fabric are concurrently performed.
