Abstract:

The classification, characteristics and development tread of camouflage pattern are introduced. The development direction of camouflage pattern to multicolor and gradient, camouflage fabric to multiple blended and camouflage function to multi-spectral camouflage is pointed out. These trends challenge the traditional flat screen and rotary screen printing technology. The current disperse/VAT bath in a two-phase rotary screen printing technology has the technology superiority in the traditional plaque camouflage printing, which can implement the high color fastness, color consistency, near infrared camouflage of military camouflage printing with the optimization of dyestuff, paste, equipment, etc. New printing technology, including transfer printing technology, digital printing technology, can achieve more excellent color gradient camouflage effect, but there are some problems needed to be resolved when they are used in military camouflage printing.

Key words: military camouflage pattern, printing technology, ink jet printing, transfer printing
