Printed carpet is a kind of machine-made tufted carpet. Printed carpet is made by inkjet
technology. By spraying the pre-mixed color paste on the blank textiles(White Carpet), you can
create gorgeous and exquisite patterns.
This type of machine-tufted carpet typically stored in the warehouse as white clean yarn and
then put to use after a custom order has been placed. After order placement, the white carpet is
set up on the Chromo-Jet Printing machine and is set to add the design. Then the dye injection by
using jets that are arranged in groups, almost like an office printer. Pressure provides the color
and design accuracy, penetrating the carpet pile while never touching the fabric. After design
completion, the carpet is steamed, washed, and dried all on this advanced machinery. As beautiful
of a finished design this machinery provides, dye can only penetrate the fibers to a certain depth.
The pile yarn normally receives an equivalency of 45-65% of dye absorption, which is why you can
still see the undyed white yarn close to the backing. After wear and tear, the carpet will flatten and
eventually expose more and more of the undyed yarns. However, this is why it’s considered best
for budget conscious projects and areas without heavy foot traffic.

The main parameters of Printed carpet
We mainly introduce the carpet’s size, yarn material, pile weight, of printed carpet, these
parameters most affect the cost of printed carpet.
Size:
Because of the production technology of printed carpets, foxflor factory usually pre-produces
white carpets with a width of 4m and 3.66m, so the width of the printed carpet can only be these
two sizes, and then it is cut and spliced according to the actual size of the project to minimize
wastes.As for the length of the printed carpet, we can customize it according to the customer’s
requirements. For transportation and handling purposes, the length is generally 30m.
Pile Weight:
Pile weight is a direct reflection of the quality of printed carpets and one of the main factors
affecting the price of printed carpets. Usually expressed in G/M², it show how many yarn is used
in 1 square meter of printed carpet.
Foxflor Factory have different pile weight to meet any budgets’ projects.100% Nylon Flat Cut pile printed carpet have: 650G/M², 800G/M², 1000G/M², 1200G/M², 1400G/M

Benefitsof Printed Carpet:
Lower lead times and order minimums
Inkjet Printing creates carpet designs onto blank textiles. Manufacturers don’t need to keep an
inventory of different colors and designs; instead, your chosen patterns and designs can be
created quickly and efficiently when you order. Foxflor for the printed order production time just
need 10-15days, for urgent order only need 7 days.
In comparison, carpets that use solution dyed nylon require the manufacturer to hold inventory on
popular designs in order to meet short lead times. If you prefer a non-standard color or pattern
you may experience extended lead times as the manufacturer looks to acquire the required yarn
and works your order into their manufacturing work flow.
Unparalleled design and pattern capabilities
Inkjet printing technology can print 48 colors, makes it possible to print a huge variety of colors
and color gradations onto your chosen carpet.So if you want carpet in your company colors, or to
perfectly complement your chosen palette, printed carpet offers the opportunity to personalize
your design choices, thanks to the technological capabilities that can’t be replicated with other
carpet types
Bright colors and high color fastness
Inkjet printing has strong permeability and can adhere firmly to the carpet surface. After using a
period of time, the color is still very delicate and bright.
Anti-static, anti-fouling, anti-mildew, anti-moth
Foxflor uses German-Bayer anti-fouling treatment and anti-static technology in carpets, which
eliminates the trouble of static electricity generated by chemical fiber carpets, making carpet
cleaning simple and easy, keeping the color as before, and greatly extending the service life of
carpets.
Applications of printed carpets:
Foxflor’s printed carpets are commonly used in various public places, including hotel rooms,
corridors, banquet halls, casinos, cinemas, churches and other areas.
Depending on the project scope and budget, we can adjust the density to provide the maximum
durability.
For hospitality carpet,density will vary depending on the location of the carpet. For example, hotel
guest rooms receive little foot traffic and can therefore be produced in a lighter density. This also
saves money for the guest room carpet at any hotel. Most hotel rooms should consider
30oz.(1000g/m²)pile weight density, and sometimes 35.4oz. (1200g/m²) Less is not
recommended, and more can be considered overkill. Corridors should receive a minimum of 36oz.density, with 42oz. being better, but increases the budget. Meeting rooms and ballrooms should
receive 42oz. as a minimum standard.
