Experimental work has shown that the Dispersol and Duranol dyes, Aleian Blue 8G, pigments in the form of pigment printing compositions, and vat dyes may be applied to Terylene fibre by printing techniques. The methods of application are outlined with stress being placed on the use of pressure steaming and swelling agents for the disperse dyes. Vat dyes are applied by the acid‐leuco technique and require to be steamed at high pressures for satisfactory fixation. Their light fastness when printed on Terylene fibre is lower in practically all cases compared with prints on cotton. The mechanical conditions necessary to obtain prints of satisfactory quality on Terylene fibre are discussed.
