It has four basic process  Preparatory  Dyeing  Printing  Finishing  Testing Preparation  The ultimate goal of any preparation process is to produce fabric that is clean and rid of all impurities that interfere with dyeing and finishing.  Fabric preparation is the first of the wet processing steps Desizing  To remove the sizing material from the textile material (yarn/ fabric/ garment) Scouring  To remove natural impurities from natural fibers.  To remove added impurities from man made fibers Bleaching  To remove natural coloring matter from fiber structure  Mostly used hydrogen peroxide; we can use this to all type of fibers What Is “Dyeing”… ?  The pleasure derived from imparting colour to clothing has existed since the time of the earliest civilisations;  A world of fashion without colour is impossible to imagine. Coloration processes produce the most visible results of all the finishing operations carried out during the preparation of textile goods What Is Printing….?  Textile printing is the most versatile and important of the methods used for introducing colour and design to textile fabrics.  Considered analytically it is a process of bringing together a design idea, one or more colorants, and a textile substrate (usually a fabric), using a technique for applying the colorants with some precision. What is finishing… ?  This facilitates production of attractive ready-to-sell textiles intended to fulfil requirements for specific use.  This includes all processes which help to maintain the value or increase the value of the textile material.  Textile finishing therefore makes textile raw material usable by creating properties with a useful effect.
