Özet
Pretreatment process is very important for ink jet printing system. Pretreatment solutions that is transferred to the cotton fabricbefore reactive ink-jet printing affects printing quality. In this study, the influence of the rheological properties of pretreatmentthickeners on printing quality and color yield has been researched. The reological properties of the pretreatment sollution is determinedmainly by the rheological properties of the thickener that is used. The influence of the rheological properties of the pretreatmentsollutions which is prepared with different kind of thickeners at different concentrations, on paste add-on, penetration and colour yieldvalues is investigated. As a result, it was observed in this study that at applied conditions the rheological properties of the pretreatmentpastes applied have not a significant influence on color yield and ink-jet printing quality.
