Abstract
A fabric printable medium includes a fabric base substrate including yarn strands and voids among the yarn strands; a finishing coating attached to the yarn strands of the fabric base substrate to form coated yarn strands; and pore spaces among the coated yarn strands and coinciding with at least some of the voids of the fabric base substrate. The finishing coating includes a crosslinked polymeric network. The fabric printable medium further includes a fire retardant coating applied to aback-side of the coated yarn strands.
Claims15
A fabric printable medium, comprising:
- a fabric base substrate including yarn strands and voids among the yarn strands;
- a finishing coating attached to the yarn strands of the fabric base substrate to form coated yarn strands, the finishing coating including a crosslinked polymeric network;
- pore spaces among the coated yarn strands and coinciding with at least some of the voids of the fabric base substrate;
- and
- a fire retardant coating applied to a back-side of the coated yarn strands.
A method for forming a fabric printable medium, comprising:
- applying a finishing composition, including a crosslinked polymeric network, to yarn strands of a fabric base substrate, thereby forming:
- a finishing coating i) attached to the yarn strands of the fabric base substrate to form coated yarn strands, and ii) having a dry coat-weight of 6 gsm or less;
- and pore spaces among the coated yarn strands that coincide with at least some voids of the fabric base substrate;
- and
- applying a fire retardant composition to a back-side of the coated yarn strands, thereby forming a fire retardant coating.
A printing method, comprising:
- obtaining a fabric printable medium including:
- a fabric base substrate including yarn strands and voids among the yarn strands;
- a finishing coating attached to the yarn strands of the fabric base substrate to form coated yarn strands, the finishing coating including a crosslinked polymeric network;
- pore spaces among the coated yarn strands and coinciding with at least some of the voids of the fabric base substrate;
- and
- a fire retardant coating applied to a back-side of the coated yarn strands;
- and
- applying an ink composition onto an image-side of the coated yarn strands to form a printed image.
