Pigment printing differs from dye printing in that the colour is

  • A.chemically bonded to the fibre
  • B.applied from a hot dyebath
  • C.fixed by steaming it alone
  • D.held on the surface by a binder

Answer: D

Correct answer: held on the surface by a binder

A pigment has no affinity for any fibre; it is an insoluble coloured particle glued to the surface by a polymer binder that is cured by dry heat. That makes the process simple and cheap - no steaming and no washing off - and it accounts for its weaknesses too: a stiffer handle and rub fastness dependent entirely on the binder film.
