## Abstract

Disclosed in the present invention is a printing method for apparel fabric, comprising the steps of: (1) thermal compounding: stacking and placing the apparel fabric and thermal adhesive printing paper into a first heating device set to a first preset temperature, wherein a surface of the thermal adhesive printing paper is provided with a thermal adhesive, and the thermal adhesive is heated to compound the apparel fabric and the thermal adhesive printing paper together to form a compounded paper/apparel fabric roll; (2) printing: loading the compounded paper/apparel fabric roll onto a printer, and printing graphics and text on the apparel fabric of the compounded paper/apparel fabric roll to form a printed cloth; (3) thermal fixation: fixing the color of the printed cloth through a second heating device set to a second preset temperature for a preset time.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A printing method for apparel fabric, comprising the steps of:
(1) thermal compounding: stacking and placing the apparel fabric and thermal adhesive printing paper into a first heating device set to a first preset temperature, wherein a surface of the thermal adhesive printing paper is provided with a thermal adhesive, and the thermal adhesive is heated to compound the apparel fabric and the thermal adhesive printing paper together to form a compounded paper/apparel fabric roll;
(2) printing: loading the compounded paper/apparel fabric roll onto a printer, and printing graphics and text on the apparel fabric of the compounded paper/apparel fabric roll to form a printed cloth; and
(3) thermal fixation: fixing the color of the printed cloth through a second heating device set to a second preset temperature for a preset time.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The printing method for apparel fabric according to claim 1, wherein the surface of the thermal adhesive printing paper is further provided with a printing additive, and during the “thermal compounding” process, the printing additive is heated and penetrates into the fibers of the apparel fabric.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The printing method for apparel fabric according to claim 1, wherein the first heating device and the second heating device are the same one device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The printing method for apparel fabric according to claim 1, wherein the second heating device is a heating device that adopts a solid heat transfer method.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The printing method for apparel fabric according to claim 4, wherein the second heating device is a hot roller or a hot plate.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The printing method for apparel fabric according to claim 1, wherein the first preset temperature ranges from 95 to 150° C. for different apparel fabrics.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The printing method for apparel fabric according to claim 1, wherein the second preset temperature ranges from 120 to 180° C. for different apparel fabrics.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The printing method for apparel fabric according to claim 1, wherein the printer is an inkjet printer without guide band.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The printing method for apparel fabric according to claim 1, wherein the printer uses coating ink or solvent ink for different apparel fabrics.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The printing method for apparel fabric according to claim 1, further comprising the step of (4) separating: separating the apparel fabric from the thermal adhesive printing paper.
