What is the difference between jacquard fabric and printed fabric

Simply put, jacquard fabrics are generally patterns woven during the weaving process, while printing is to print patterns on cloth by printing and dyeing.


During the manufacture of jacquard fabrics, the warp and weft yarns are interwoven and ups and downs to form different patterns by utilizing the changes in the warp and weft structures, and finally form a pattern with unevenness, fine yarn count and high needle thread density. Jacquard fabrics can be used for different purposes according to the characteristics of the species. Generally, jacquard fabrics are mostly used for interior decoration such as bed sheets, tablecloths, and curtains; jacquard poplin, jacquard hemp yarn, and jacquard thread are mostly used for clothing.


There are many patterns of printed fabrics, and there are many choices. Printing is to adjust various dyes and pigments into printing paste, which is applied locally on the fabric to obtain various patterns. It can be divided into reactive printing and pigment printing. The fabrics of reactive printing are bright in color, good in color fastness, soft to the touch and will not fade after washing. Pigment printing and dyeing is dyeing and printing after the cloth is woven, and it is generally easy to fade. There are many options for printing patterns, and printing is mainly used in cellulose fiber fabrics, silk fabrics, chemical fibers and blended fabrics.
