PRESERVATION OF MOISTURE EVAPORATION AND BODY TEMPERATURE REGULATION PROPERTIES ON GARMENTS POST PRINTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240052564 titled 'PRESERVATION OF MOISTURE EVAPORATION AND BODY TEMPERATURE REGULATION PROPERTIES ON GARMENTS POST PRINTING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method of printing a garment to retain moisture-wicking or heat management properties of the underlying fabric, particularly for use in sport and outdoor activities.

  • Mapping active body regions onto a print file for the garment
  • Defining standard print areas and modified print areas in the print file
  • Using standard ink density for printing over standard print areas
  • Using a lower ink density for printing at active body regions to preserve wicking and venting properties of the fabric

Potential Applications

  • Sportswear
  • Outdoor apparel
  • Athletic uniforms

Problems Solved

  • Maintaining moisture-wicking properties in printed garments
  • Preserving heat management capabilities of the fabric
  • Enhancing comfort during physical activities

Benefits

  • Improved performance of sportswear
  • Enhanced comfort for athletes
  • Extended lifespan of moisture-wicking fabrics


Original Abstract Submitted

a method of printing a garment, particularly for use in sport and outdoor activities, to retain moisture wicking or heat management properties of an underlying fabric. the method comprises mapping active body regions onto a print file for the garment. thus the print file defines standard print areas and modified print areas where the modified printing areas correspond to the active body regions. printing onto the garment over the standard print areas uses a standard ink density, but printing onto the garment at the active areas uses a second lower ink density which preserves, or at least does less harm to, wicking and venting properties of the underlying fabric.
