Eco-friendly chemical processing of textile is now necessary for recent trends. Surface modification with polyelectrolytes on cotton might bring to a new approach. Reactive printing of cotton requires salt, and also hygroscopic
agent in large quantity, which increase pollution load. To overcome from this problem, polydiallyldimethylammonium
chloride (POLYDADMAC) is use for surface modification of cotton, which increase colour value of reactive dye in
printing. Printing is carried out with four different methods. The colour strength and fastness pro perties of printed sample were assessed and reported in this paper
