Abstract: The market demand for cellulose acetate fiber fabric is growing. However, the undeveloped technology of flat screen printing on cellulose acetate fiber and its blended fabric hamper further development. This paper studies the flat screen printing of NaiaTM cellulose acetate fiber, and analyzes the matters needing attention in the key process of the printing based on the characteristics of cellulose acetate fiber. And the paper also verified the feasibility of the printing process via two times color fastness tests,so as to provide reference and insight for production technicians.

Key words: cellulose acetate fiber; flat screen printing; disperse dyes; color fastness
