Questions
Is there an official source for ginning and printing?
Yes. The source of ginning and printing comes from GB/T 50597-2019 “Common Terms, Units of Measurement and Symbols in Textile Engineering”.
Answer
According to GB/T 50597-2019 Textile Engineering Common Terminology, Units of Measurement and Symbol Standards, ginning is a type of finishing and is basically used for synthetic fibers.
Printing is an independent category according to GB/T 50597-2019 Textile Engineering Common Terminology, Units of Measurement and Symbol Standards.
To sum up, embossing (embossing) belongs to the finishing category, and printing belongs to an independent category. There is no relationship between the two. Everyone should be in tune during use and make good use of the two different styles.
