When you are communicating with manufacturers about the production needs of baby products such as saliva wipes and baby blankets, you may be confused when the manufacturer asks whether the product needs to be jacquard or printed, because I don’t know the difference between jacquard and printing, so I have to spend time to understand the meaning of the two and their respective advantages. Today, regarding the difference between jacquard and printing, I will teach you about jacquard and printing in the textile industry.
Jacquard or printing
Jacquard and printing are common weaving methods in fabrics, among which jacquard is the most complex fabric weaving method.
1. Jacquard
Jacquard is a concave and convex pattern composed of interlaced warp and weft threads on textile fabrics. It is woven at the time, and you cannot choose to spend it after the cloth is formed. This requires designing the pattern in advance, forming longitude and latitude lines on the computer, sending the jacquard information to the jacquard faucet, and forming different patterns through the interweaving of the warp and weft lines.
Jacquard
Jacquard fabric can be divided into large jacquard and small jacquard according to the size of the jacquard. Jacquard generally refers to linear patterns, such as flower patterns. Dobby generally refers to straight-line patterns, such as grid-like geometric figures. The weaving process of large jacquard is much more difficult than that of small jacquard.
Jacquard
The front and back of the jacquard fabric are regular and neat. Moreover, the style is relatively novel, three-dimensional, and very vivid. The fabric is generally soft and thick, not easy to deform and not easy to pilling. Jacquard fabric has uneven texture, soft, delicate, smooth texture, good gloss, good drape and high color fastness.

2. Printing
The printing process uses dyes or pigments in textiles The process of applying patterns on objects. According to the different printing materials and printing processes, printing can be divided into wood pulp printing, glue printing, ink printing and so on. Printing breaks through the singleness of solid color fabrics. The patterns can be complex and diverse, with many options and bright colors.

The printed cloth is flat and has no three-dimensional effect. The front side of the pattern will be clearer, while the reverse side will be blurry. The printed patterns can be complex, including landscape paintings, ink paintings, group flower paintings, etc., and the colors are relatively bright and bright.
Printing
The above is an introduction to jacquard and printing. Jacquard has very high requirements for the quality of the yarn used. If the quality of the yarn is too low, It is impossible to weave a formed pattern. Therefore, jacquard fabrics are generally more expensive than printed fabrics.
