특수니팅기법을 활용한 텍스타일 디자인 개발 - 디지털 텍스타일 프린팅(DTP)을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study has analyzed the process of making various knitting samples, developing the patterns based on the motif from the texture, and printing the patterns on the fabric. The study aims to develop a new material by merging knitting techniques and Digital Textile Printing(DTP). In addition, the study suggests the way to standardize the technique and to utilize the process in the fashion industry. Firstly, the researcher separated the techniques into machine knitting and hand knitting. Then, the researcher has produced the weft knitting fabric sample with a knitting machine and the warp knitting fabric sample with a plain crochet technique which is a hand knitting technique. Secondly, the researcher has scanned the knitting samples and selected the motif from the images of random formative effects and irregular compositions of the texture. Then, the researcher has produced the regular and irregular patterns of the motif via Photoshop program and has created the map of images by collecting and editing the patterns. Lastly, the researcher has completed the One-repeat for the fabric printing and has made a transcription on the fabric by working on Digital Textile Printing. As a result of this study, it was possible to complete 6 of textile design patterns from 6 weft knitting fabric samples and 6 warp knitting fabric samples and to create the unique fabric. In conclusion, the study has found out that it was able to create the unique and practical material by merging the knitting techniques and digital printing.
