Abstract
In this study, single jersey knitted fabrics were produced from 100 % Ne 12/1 cotton, 100 % Ne 30/1 cotton, Ne 12/1 70%
cotton + 30% hemp, Ne 30/1 50% modal + 50 % cotton, Ne 30/1 100 % viscose, and Ne 30/1 50 % viscose + 50 % cotton. The
raw materials were bleached and singed, after which reactive pretreatment paste recipes were padded onto the fabrics, and then
colored with digital printing. Fastness analyses and spectrophotometric color measurements were applied to the samples. When the
results were determined, it was obviously seen that the washing, ironing, and rubbing fastness are of very high degrees because
reactive dyestuffs make covalent bonds with the fibers. Thus, the increase in the amount of thickener also increased the bonding
and provided better adhesion of the color.
