Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a practical manual for calico-printing and fabric dyeing. It opens with the subject of bleaching fabrics, discussing impurities, singeing, and other preparatory processes. The second section focuses on printing techniques, from hand-block and cylinder machine printing to flat-press work. The author then presents the various chemical components used in printing and dyeing, such as mordants, thickeners, and pigments, and their classification. He explains the dyeing of fabrics using extracted natural organic colouring matters such as logwood, and the use of oils, soaps, and solvents. The section on inorganic colour and pigments includes both white and coloured pigments and discusses coal-tar colours, including alizarin, and aniline dyes. The author concludes with a chapter on dyeing with indigo to illustrate direct colouring, finally touching on the theory of colours and basic water theory. This practical guidebook offers valuable insights into the history and techniques of fabric printing and dyeing, making it an essential reference for practitioners and textile enthusiasts alike.
