Abstract : The current review summarizes textile styles and printing methods.
Where, there are three basic styles to print a color on fabric namely: (a) direct, (b) discharge
and (c) resist. While printing methods comprise:(a) block,
(b) roller, (c) screem, (d) rotary, (e) transfer, (f) foam
and digital "ink jet" printing. The theory of discharge printing
involves the degradation, by chemical reagents; of the chromophore system of
dyestuffs applied to the textile material, most of them are hazardous
chemicals. However, recently, the environmental and industrial safety
conditions increased the potential for use of enzymes in textile processing to
ensure ecofriendly production. The present review fulfils the following items: (a) application
of enzymes in textiles, (b)factors affecting enzyme activity and (c) enzyme
inhibitors.
