Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. A technique includes determining a fabric's response to a laser, capturing an initial image of a wear pattern on a garment, and processing the initial image to obtain a working image in grayscale. The working image is further processed to obtain a difference image by comparing each pixel relative to a dark reference. The difference image is converted to a laser values image by using the previously determined fabric response to the laser.

A process of in situ forming a dye discharge reagent on at least a portion of surface of a dyed substrate, effected by applying two or more compositions comprising reactants on the substrate, such that the reactants undergo a chemical reaction on the substrate to form the reagent is provided herein, as well as a method for dye discharging a dyed substrate using the process of in situ forming a dye discharge reagent, and a dye discharge composition comprising said dye discharge reagent. In some embodiments of the invention, the reactants are thiourea and a peroxide, and the dye discharge reagent is formamidine sulfinic acid (FSA).

A method of forming a three-dimensional decorative cloth on a textile comprising steps of: providing a release paper, coating corrosion-resistant adhesive on the release paper in a screen printing manner, drying the corrosion-resistant adhesive; providing a decorative cloth, adhering the corrosion-resistant adhesive of the release paper on the decorative cloth in a heat transfer printing manner; providing a textile, forming an anticorrosive protection layer on the textile, removing the release paper from the decorative cloth, adhering the corrosion-resistant adhesive of the decorative cloth with the anticorrosive protection layer of the textile in a heat pressing manner; forming a corrosion layer on the decorative cloth in a screen printing manner so as to corrode the decorative cloth; washing the textile by water so to eliminate the corrosion layer, and washing the textile by soap so as to remove corroded portion of the decorative cloth.

A method for making a burnout fabric includes: (1) pre-treating a greige fabric; (2) processing the pre-treated greige fabric with a burnout paste containing sulfuric acid, synthetic gum tragacanth, and sodium alginate; and (3) post-treating the greige fabric after the burnout treatment to obtain a burnout fabric. The method according to the present invention is simple in process, low in cost, and easy to implement, and the burnout fabric obtained thereby has an attractive and clear pattern, featuring a three-dimensional effect and a high quality.

As a fiber for weight reduction, a modified polyester fiber, which is obtained by copolymerizing: ethylene terephthalate as a main constitutional unit; equal to or more than 16 mol % and equal to or less than 25 mol % of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having equal to or more than 4 and equal to or less than 8 carbon atoms; and equal to or more than 2 mol % and equal to or less than 5 mol % of a metal sulfonate group-containing aromatic dicarboxylic acid, is used. This modified polyester fiber has a single fiber fineness of equal to or more than 0.6 dtex and equal to or less than 3.5 dtex. A mixed woven or knitted fabric composed of two or more types of fibers, which are the modified polyester fiber, a regular polyester fiber, and optionally, a polyurethane fiber, is capable of exhibiting good etching finish properties by using an etching finish agent that contains an etching finish accelerator, for example, a Mei printer OP-2 (manufactured by Meisei Chemical Works, Ltd.) and sodium carbonate, and also exhibits low reduction in strength of non-etching finished parts.
