Abstract
To provide a method for processing a cloth to form a three-dimensional design pattern on the cloth not only by a conventional printing system, but also by an ink-jet system. A method for processing a cloth to form a three-dimensional design pattern on the cloth, which involves two processes—one in which it is treated with a Solution A containing a salt formed from a phenol derivative and a hydroxide of an alkali metal or alkali-earth metal and the other in which it is treated with Solution B containing a chemical capable of restoring the salt in solution A to its original phenol derivative. The present invention is advantageous in using highly safe water-soluble chemicals, allowing their uniform application to a cloth to form a three-dimensional design pattern on the cloth. In addition, the present invention has the advantage of allowing the cloth to be subjected simultaneous to fiber shrinking and coloring, making it very conducive to the production of printed goods with highly accurate and uniform three-dimensional design patterns at reduced costs.
