A brief description is given of the preparation of fabrics made from Tricel or Tricel‐containing blends, including “S”‐finishing. This is a partial saponification process which imparts antistatic properties, improves resistance to glazing and stiffening during ironing, and increases the resistance to gas‐fume fading of prints of certain disperse dyes. The types of dyes used and general processing details for roller and screen printing are then covered. Recipes are given for printing 100% Tricel fabrics with disperse or acid dyes or with pigments, and for printing blends of Tricel and rayon, polyester, or acrylic fibres, with reference also to discharge styles. Finishing is also briefly covered.
