The process of eliminating screen-printed designs from polyester fabric involves several techniques, each tailored to the ink type and the fabric’s sensitivity. This removal aims to restore the fabric to its original state, free from the unwanted graphic. An example includes carefully applying a specialized solvent to dissolve the ink without damaging the polyester fibers.
Successfully reversing the screen-printing process on polyester offers numerous advantages. It allows for the repurposing of garments, reduces textile waste, and provides a canvas for new designs. Historically, methods were harsh, often damaging the fabric; however, advancements in chemical formulations and application techniques have made the process safer and more effective.
