What Is Printed Fabric?

Close-up of printed cotton fabric showing colourful pattern detail — Abtex International (Pvt.) Ltd.

Printed fabric is woven textile on which a pattern or design has been applied using dyes or pigments through rotary screen, flatbed screen, digital inkjet, or block printing. Unlike dyed fabric — which is a single solid colour — printed fabric carries multi-colour patterns, motifs, and designs directly on the cloth surface.

Abtex International (Pvt.) Ltd. supplies printed fabric from Pakistan in three main dye classes — vat prints, pigment prints, and discharge (emphasized) prints — on 100% cotton, polyester-cotton (PC), and CVC woven bases including poplin, voile, lawn, twill, sheeting, and flannel.

With over 17 pattern categories available — from classic floral and geometric designs to children’s prints, photo-prints, and digital computerized prints — we cater to fashion brands, home textile buyers, children’s wear manufacturers, and retail chains worldwide.

How Printed Fabric Is Made

Printed fabric goes through a sequence of preparation, printing, and finishing steps to ensure sharp pattern definition, even colour, and durable wash fastness.

1
Grey / PFD Base
Scoured & bleached woven fabric — the printing base
2
Screen / Digital Setup
Engraving rotary screens or preparing digital print files
3
Printing
Applying dye paste or pigment ink through screens or inkjet heads
4
Curing / Steaming
Fixing the dye or pigment onto the fabric fibre
5
Washing & Finishing
Removing unfixed dye, softening, and final inspection

Printing Methods

The printing method determines pattern repeat size, colour count, run length economics, and design complexity. We supply fabric produced by all major commercial printing methods.

🔄

Rotary Screen Printing

The most widely used commercial method for large fabric runs. Engraved cylindrical screens rotate continuously, applying dye paste at high speed. Ideal for bold designs with up to 16 colours — cost-effective for mid-to-large order quantities.

🖼️

Flatbed Screen Printing

Flat screens are pressed onto the fabric in sequence, one colour at a time. Suitable for large repeat patterns and specialty effects. Slower than rotary but offers excellent colour depth and precision for premium prints.

🖨️

Digital / Inkjet Printing

Inkjet heads apply dye directly onto fabric from a digital file — no screens required. Perfect for photo-realistic prints, complex computerized designs, short runs, and sample development. Offers unlimited colour and repeat size options.

🎨

Discharge Printing

A chemical paste is printed onto dyed fabric to selectively remove the base colour, creating soft-hand patterns with a unique depth. Available as white discharge or overprint discharge. Widely used in fashion casualwear and premium shirting.

Print Dye Types

The dye or pigment type determines the hand feel, fastness properties, and suitability for different end uses.

Vat
Prints
Vat Prints
Vat dyes penetrate deep into the cotton fibre, providing excellent wash fastness (Grade 4–5), light fastness, and a print visible on both sides of the fabric. The gold standard for quality printed fabric — used in premium apparel and home textiles.
Pigment
Prints
Pigment Prints
Pigment binders adhere to the fabric surface without penetrating the fibre, offering the widest colour range, excellent colour brightness, and lower production cost. The most globally used print type — suitable for fashion, childrenswear, and home textiles.
Discharge
Prints
Discharge (Emphasized) Prints
A chemical discharge paste is printed onto a dyed fabric ground to destroy the base colour in select areas, creating designs with a soft, natural hand. Popular in fashion casualwear and premium shirting — available as white or overprint discharge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Printed fabric is woven textile on which a pattern or design has been applied using dyes or pigments through a printing process — rotary screen, flatbed screen, digital inkjet, or block printing.

Vat prints use vat dyes that penetrate deep into the fibre, giving excellent wash fastness and light fastness — the print is visible on both sides of the fabric. Pigment prints use pigment binders that sit on the fabric surface, offering a wider colour range and lower cost but with a slightly stiffer hand. Pigment prints are the most widely used print type globally.
Discharge printing, also known as emphasized printing, involves printing a chemical on a dyed fabric to remove the base colour in specific areas, creating a pattern.
