Abstract
Cotton fabrics were chemically modified to allow transfer printing with disperse and cationic dyestuffs. Acetylated, cyanoethylated and styrene grafted cotton fabrics could be well transfer printed with disperse dye similarly to acetate and polyester fabrics. Light fastness was excellent, but durability to laundering was generally insufficient except acetylated cotton. As to cationic dyes, the printability was good for acrylic acid grafted cotton, fair for cyanoethylated cotton, but poor for carboxymethylated and acrylonitrile grafted cotton fabrics. Light fastness was generally good, but the fastness to laundering was almost poor.
