PATTERNED TEXTILE PRODUCT

摘要

A textile substrate (252) is patterned by the selective application of various dyes to the substrate surface in a way that provides desirable, visually apparent enhancements in the area of pattern detail, definition, and color range (70), through the use of a novel patterning system (254), including the application of various chemical agents, that makes such enhancements possible. In one embodiment, the patterning system (254) described herein is capable of producing pile-faced textile substrates (252), useful as floor coverings, that exhibit a unique combination of desirable pattern attributes that have been identified and measured using novel techniques specifically developed for these substrates and pattern attributes.
