Abstract

Carpet is a textile floor covering usually consisting of the top layer of a pile attached to a support. A pile was traditionally made of wool, but since the 20th century, synthetic fibers such as polypropylene, nylon, or polyester are often used, as these fibers are less expensive than wool. Due to exceptional properties such as flexibility and dimensional stability, carpet tiles and broadloom are the most often used Textile covering floorings. So in the first, we will talk about Carpet fiber structure and characteristics then the yarn of carpet and the printing processes that take place on it and we will specialize in the inkjet printing process. Manufacturers of printing carpets employ three different types of printing carpets: flat screen printing machines, rotary screen printing machines then Using inkjet printing carpets which have several benefits for all types of carpets. For example, Inkjet printing for nylon gives several Features using thickener. Carpet printing using printing ink including a minimal amount of thickener offers an excellent color yield and fastness. When printing ink with a polyacrylate-based thickening is used in practical applications, the concentration of the thickener can be modified to meet the needs of the printing effects and the textile qualities. develop a viable thickener for nylon carpet printing.
