The application of selected reactive dyes and pigments in association with a crease recovery (CR) finish (of the dimethyloldihydroxyehtylene urea type) and a flame retardant (FR) finish (based upon telrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride) were investigated. These finishes were applied prior to the reactive dye and pigment printing, with the aim of producing a process sequence able to give a quick response and enhanced finish and print performance. CR finishing prior to reactive dye printing results in a marked reduction in shade depth, whilst reactive dye printing over the FR...
