Abstract (en)
The present invention provides a method, apparatus and fixative compositions for printing graphics directly on fabric. According to the invention, fixative is applied to only that area of the fabric (14) covered by the graphic (50). Thus, the problems associated with applying fixative to the entire surface of the fabric (14) are eliminated. The invention further provides an apparatus (10) for precisely and automatically positioning the graphic (50) with respect to the fabric (14) and for applying the fixative to only that area of the fabric (14) corresponding to the graphic (50). Fixative compositions useful in practicing the invention are also provided. <IMAGE>
