Pigment Print
A pigment is a substance used for coloring or painting. Pigment printing is a process of smearing color to products like textile, wood, leather, etc using pigments.
Pigment printing is a mode of surface varnishing. Since pigments are insoluble and impenetrable in nature, they do not pierce into the yarns but can be mutated to various hues.
Pigment printing is pertinent to be applied to both light as well as darker shaded fabrics.
Screen pigment printing is a process of using a paste of multiple colors which gives an innovative look to garments. The paste constitutes a base of thickened consistency and different pigments are added on to it.

Process
Pigment printing process incorporates a base, a binder, fixer and water. The process constitutes table preparation with fabric braided on a table and pigment printing paste is applied on the fabric with the help of a screen.
After the print dries, the fabric undergoes a heat process at 160 degree Celsius. This process is acknowledged as Polymerization.

The fabric is use may be pre dyed or dyed after the subsequent application of pigment print to it.
Advantages
