The Momme:

It is the main unit of measurement of silk fabric texture, also called "the gram weight of square meter”. The more grams weight per square meter of the fabric, the much thicker of the fabric. Generally, we also can call the momme of the fabrics "thickness". Commonly used momme (m/m). Conversion method is: 1 (m/m) = 4.3056g/m2, conversion constant = 4.3056 (m/m) = m2 g / 4.3056(m/m), minimum value to 0.5 (m/m), keep decimal places when we calculate it (rounding off the second decimal).

Printing Methods:

For silk scarves, there're lots of ways in printing, the most common printing methods are: Digital printing (inkjet) and Bedplate printing.

• Digital Printing: The principle of digital printing is the same with printer. Digital printing is to input designs into computer in the form of numbers, and to edit and process by computer printing color separation and drawing system, then micro piezoelectric nozzles controlled by computer injects the special dye directly into the textile to form the desired pattern.

• Bedplate Printing: The principle for bedplate printing is the same to screen printing. It is mainly used in the printing of high-grade silk scarf with complex technology. It needs to make a printing format template before printing. The limitation is that it has the problem of environmental constraints and difficult for large version with overprint. But this printing method can do beautiful, clear, colorful printing pattern. The brands such as Hermes scarf are completed by manual bedplate printing.
