Troubleshooting in dyeing of woven fabrics on high-temperature jig machine

Introduction Jig dyeing is very common for woven fabrics due to the crease-free process. Many problems are associated with it, most commonly tailing problem (shade variation along the length of the fabric). In this paper, a practical approach has been presented for dyers to cope the tailing problem. Sometimes listing (shade variation from side-to-side i.e. centre to right/left of width of the fabric) is also a problem. A suitable dye dosing criteria is suggested to jig dyers that present a fault-free jig dyeing of woven fabrics.
