Textile printing method and apparatus applying inkjet printer

An apparatus for printing a textile by applying an inkjet printer, the apparatus comprising:

• a feed roller for feeding a fabric;
• a pretreatment liquid reservoir filled with a plurality of pretreatment liquid components;
• a pretreatment head for applying a pretreatment liquid to the fabric fed by the feed roller;
• a dryer for drying the pretreatment liquid applied to the fabric by the pretreatment head;
• a printing head for printing on the dried fabric in the dryer by jetting an ink;
• an ink reservoir for feeding the ink to the printing head;
• and
• a control unit for selecting at least one pretreatment liquid component to be applied from the plurality of pretreatment liquid components installed in the pretreatment liquid reservoir depending upon a type of the fed fabric, determining an application ratio of the selected at least one pretreatment liquid component, and controlling the pretreatment head such that the selected at least one pretreatment liquid component is mixed based on the determined application ratio and is applied to the fed fabric, wherein an application amount of the selected at least one pretreatment liquid component or a frequency at which the selected at least one pretreatment liquid component is applied to the fabric is adjusted depending upon the type of the fed fabric.
