AB  - This study will examine how digital printing affects clothing comfort on knitted fabrics from different raw materials.
Garments significantly affect the heat exchange between the human body and the environment. Therefore, consumers
prefer thermally balanced and effective moisture-controlled products in the selection of clothing. Air permeability is also
important in explaining the comfort performance of the product in the textile industry. On the other hand, digital printing
machines have become the centre of attention of consumers as a print type on which the desired pattern can be printed
on the chosen fabric and more ecological, faster, and economical. However different printing processes can change the
comfort characteristics of the garments.
In this study, single jersey knitted fabrics 100% Ne 12/1 cotton, 100% Ne 30/1 cotton, and Ne 12/1 70% cotton + 30%
Hemp were produced. Raw materials were bleached and singed, then coloured with digital printing. After that, air
permeability, bursting strength, stiffness, ironing fastness, and SEM analyses were applied to samples when the results
were determined, it was seen that heavier fabric will have higher stiffness. Also, thicker yarns have higher bursting
strength. It follows that the cotton-hemp blended fibres (PK) have high unevenness, and the bursting strength of the
fabrics produced from this raw material is lower than cotton fabrics (P12). Similarly, since the thin-thick place values of
cotton-hemp blended yarns are high, porosity is one of the most important factors affecting air permeability in fabrics.
This porous structure also increased the air permeability of the fabric.
