everal pigments and vat dyes were used for investigating changes in the reflective behavior of printed brown and khaki cotton/polyester (65/35) fabrics in Vis/near IR (NIR) bands. Reflectance, light, rubbing, washing fastness, and colorimetric values of treated samples with TiO2 nanoparticles and carbon black powder were evaluated. The results show that NIR reflectance of brown and khaki printed fabrics was reduced by presence of TiO2 in printing formulations. Carbon black particles significantly change the visible appearance of the printed samples, rather than TiO2 nanoparticles, even at low concentration
