“…However, textiles as a unique, heterogeneous, three-dimensional form have their own surface irregularities. Previous research on similar topics has confirmed that the very fundamental mechanisms that determine print quality have not yet been fully elucidated, and the role of textile surface texture has only recently been recognised as one of the fundamental factors in print quality and achieving optimal colour gamut (Park et al 2001;Bae 2007;Collis and Wilson 2012;Kuriki 2015;Parraman 2017;Gooby 2020;Kumah et al 2020). Therefore, any study of the influence of the structural characteristics of the surface of textile materials on print quality, the degree of deformation and spread of droplets on the surface of textile materials, and the penetration of printing ink droplets into the structure of textiles contributes to the understanding of these fundamental mechanisms.…”

Textile materials are an essential part of contemporary architecture, the environment, and urban spaces due to their unique appearance and qualities, as it is now possible to achieve both a structural function and an aesthetic quality with textiles. As colour is one of the most important characteristics of textile material, it is also important to understand the relationships between colour and textile material with different surface qualities. In order to explain the complexity of different textile materials and the appearance of colours, which consequently affects the colour properties, this paper analyses this phenomenon. The presented research analyses the dependence of the reproduction quality and colour appearance on fabrics of different construction and structural characteristics, i.e., the texture of the textile material, printed using digital inkjet technology. The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of various structural features of textiles on the colour appearance of digitally printed textile substrates, to monitor the quality of colour reproduction, and to analyse the behaviour of a reactive dye droplet on textile substrates. Printing of a particular shape was performed using a Dimatix Materials Printer DMP-2831 piezoelectric inkjet device (provided by the J. Stefan Institute, Ljubjana, Slovenia; manufactured by Fujifilm Dimatix Inc., 2230 Martin Avenue, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The behaviour of the ink delivered by the needle of the tensiometer DSA20E, Kruess GmbH (provided by the J. Stefan Institute, Ljubjana, Slovenia; manufactured by Kruess Scientific Instruments (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. Futong Dong Dajie 10 Baoneng Center, Tower B, Room 605 Chaoyang District, Beijing 100102, China), on the surface of the fabric was analysed. The samples were digitally printed on a Mimaki digital printer Tx2-1600 (provided by University of Ljubljana Faculty of Natural Science and Engineering, Slovenia EU; manufactured by Mimaki, 2182-3 Shigeno-Otsu, Tomi-city, Nagano, Japan), with reactive dyes, which were first pretreated in a bath with a specific solution. The statistical method of image analysis and microscopic imaging were used to obtain the characteristics of the porosity, texture, and roughness parameters. All results are presented from colouristic analysis based on the objectification of colour and colour differences. The objective values of the parameters of lightness (L*), chroma (C*), and hue (h°) show the significant influence of the structure and properties of the substrate on colour reproduction, and significant changes were obtained, which were confirmed by the evaluation of the colour differences. The results confirm the influence of the substrate structure on colour properties. Furthermore, it is essential to consider this complexity in the context of environmental colour design when utilising (coloured) textile installations/materials in architecture and urban spaces, i.e., in the environment.

“…This method has the disadvantage of high labor intensity and poor color measurement stability. 4,5 With the development of spectrophotometry, the spectral imaging and the digital imaging technologies, the fabric color measurement can be realized by electronic equipment, [6][7][8][9] providing an image basis for color segmentation of printed fabric based on machine vision.…”

In order to achieve accurate color segmentation of printed fabrics, the color segmentation algorithm combining the self-organizing maps neural network and the efficient dense subspace clustering was proposed in this paper. After pre-processing of the fabric image, the primary clustering was implemented by the self-organizing maps algorithm, then the secondary clustering was done by the efficient dense subspace clustering algorithm. The optimal silhouette coefficient is introduced into the clustering process of the efficient dense subspace clustering algorithm to determine the number of clustering centers automatically. Finally, by the post-processing including gray-scale transformation, binarization and open operation, the mis-segmentation of edge color was eliminated, making the algorithm more suitable for industrial application. Experiments were carried out and results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper can recognize the color of small areas accurately and segment the color of complex printed fabric images. The color segmented results of 20 printed fabrics show that the accuracy of the algorithm proposed in this paper reaches 88.3%.

For conjugating sulfa drug moieties with Schiff’s bases scaffold in the same build through an azo linker to take advantage of the bioactive feature of both motifs, we designed and synthesized a series of bioactive disperse dyes. The target disperse dyes, methyl 2-(E-2-hydroxy-5-((E)-(4-sulfa-derivative) diazenyl)benzylidene) hydrazine-1-carbodithioates 4a–e have been synthesized via the acidic reaction of azo dyes 3a–e with methyl hydrazine carbodithioate. Structures of the synthesized dyes were clarified based on their spectral and elemental analyses. The effectiveness of the dyes was initially tested as an antibacterial toward Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538-P and Escherichia coli ATCC 25933. Dyes that were proven to be effective against bacteria have been used as disperse dyes to print polyester fabrics. The color properties of the dyes and their fastness properties counting washing, perspiration, light, rubbing, and sublimation fastness were also examined. The printed polyester fabrics were evaluated for their antibacterial activity via colony-forming unit (CFU) technique. Fabric samples treated with 4c, 4d, and 4b had promising anti-Gram-positive activities against S. aureus. Whereas 4c-, 4d-, and 4b-treated fabrics exhibited moderate anti-Gram-negative activities against the test bacterium E. coli.
