The invention relates to a process for printing and
dyeing artificial leather by using mangosteen
bark juice, comprising the following steps: a, preparing a mangosteen
bark dye: taking mangosteen
bark, performing
superfine grinding to obtain the mangosteen bark juice, then adding ethyl
alcohol with the concentration of 80 percent, dipping for 12-24h, filtering with a
sieve of 80-100 meshes, and collecting filter liquor, wherein a ratio of the volume of the ethyl
alcohol to the
mass of the mangosteen bark is (5 to 10) : 1; dipping filter residues by adopting the same ethyl
alcohol for 12-24h, filtering with a
sieve of 80-100 meshes, and collecting filter liquor; combining filter liquor obtained by two times of collecting, concentrating, and vacuum-
drying to obtain the
solid, i.e., the mangosteen bark dye; b, preparing a dye; c, treating the artificial leather; d,
dyeing; e, heating for
evaporation; f, performing afterfinish. The printing and
dyeing process can improve the attachment of the vegetable dye on leather, so that the printed and dyed leather is not easy to fade.
