Digital Printing Fabrics Shining with Satin
Satin first appeared in Europe in the 12th century in Roman Italy.
However, in those days, satin was a smooth silk fabric with a sheen.
Over the next two centuries, satin fabrics woven from silk or cotton fibers, developed by Chinese craftsmen who noticed that the more the yarn was twisted, the brighter the fabric was, and was brought west by sea from a port city in China called Zaitun.
The "zaytun" fabrics, named after the place of production, later turned into "satin" fabrics named after the French.
Satin symbolized wealth, luxury and nobility in those centuries.

The mercerization process was invented by the English scientist John Mercer in the mid-19th century, this technology only gained popularity towards the end of the century.
Mercerization means that finished fabrics acquire a shine when treated with an alkaline solution. Although this reduced the amount of fabric, it added easily dyeability as a new feature.
The mercerization process changes the structure of the cotton fabric, making the yarn swollen, dense and durable.
In the era of industrialization, satin production technology has changed. Cotton was added to its structure, it was even made from cotton, which significantly reduced the cost of production and also gave this fabric greater durability.
Today, the mercerization process is used together with the technologies developed for the production of satin fabric.
