1. A method for preventing discoloration in fabric, comprising:
a treatment step of applying, on fabric, a treatment agent, the treatment agent comprising a resin emulsion and a metal salt and having a pH of 5.5 to 9; a compression step of compressing the treatment agent-applied area; a heat-treatment step of heat-treating the treatment agent-applied area in a range from 160° C. to 185° C. after the treatment step; an image printing step of printing an image on a treatment agent-applied area with an ink after the heat-treatment step; and a heat-fixing step of heat-fixing the ink on the fabric after the image printing step, wherein discoloration on the treatment agent-applied area in the heat-treatment step is prevented by the use of the treatment agent in the treatment step.
