Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Coal Tar Colours of Farbwerke Vorm. Meister, Lucius Und Bruning, Hoechst on Main, Germany: Applied in Calico Printing
In our Pocket Manual, published some time ago, we gave in a concise and convenient form directions for the application of our dyestuffs.
As this manual of recipes met with a very favourable reception and found an extensive use in practice, we determined to issue a more detailed description of the. Various ways in which our colours can be applied. The present volume on, Ca1ico Printing treats of our dyestuffs suitable for that purpose and of the methods used for the fixation and production of colours on cotton fabrics.
Owing to the importance of the preparatory processes, to which the prin ted fabrics are subjected, we have, in this volume, described in general lines the bleaching and mercerising of cotton goods and have inserted sketches of some of the most important machinery used in calico printing. The patterns necessary for illustrating the text have been mostly produced in the printing department of our trial laboratory.
We trust that our esteemed clients will make ample use of this work as a book of reference and will accord it a friendly reception.
