PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Printing and Dyeing Textile Fabrics.
I, HARRY ALLISTER COSTOBADIE, of the Hodge Print Works, Broadbottom, in
the County of Chester, Calico Printer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:-
―:
My invention relates to improvements in printing and dyeing textile fabrics
and the object of my invention is to produce by roller printing, effects which have
previously only been obtained by block printing.
In carrying out my invention I employ, azo colours and avail myself of the
rapidity with which these colours develope in the fibre of the cloth to print any
desired pattern on the cloth and then at the same operation and by a following
roller to apply over the pattern any suitable reserve which will protect the colour
or colours in the subsequent process of dyeing indigo blue.
For example I take a cloth previously padded in the usual manner in an alka-
line naphthol solution and print on a calico printing machine a design say in
alphanaphthylamine claret, or other azo colour, over which, before drying I apply
with a second roller a reserve for indigo blue, the cloth is then dried and dyed
indigo either by dipping on frames, or by the continuous roller process, after
which it is soured in sulphuric acid and washed and dried and finished.
Dated this 3rd day of January 1898.
Improvements in Printing and Dysing Textile Fabrics.
I, HARRY ALLISTER COSTOBADIE, of the Hodge Print Works, Broadbottom, in

-

previously only been obtained by block printing.
In carrying out my invention I employ azo colours and avail myself of the

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
-
The herein described improvements in printing and dyeing textile fabrics said
improvements consisting essentially in first printing azo colours on the fabrics
by means of rollers in any desired pattern and at the same operation and by a
following roller applying over the pattern any suitable reserve which will protect
said colours in the subsequent process of dyeing indigo blue.
