The purpose of this final project work has been to develop coloured devoré to be suited for a manual screenprinting. In this work the use of a dispersion dyes has been presented, the suitability of dispersion dyes for devoré has been examined and a colour chart of dispersion dyes has been made. Furthermore, the aim of the work has been to tell about the safety factors at work while using devoré technique and to find out how the technique is used in indystry. Finally, a many coloured devoré fabric has been made.
The fabrics made by using coloured devoré technique haven´t been succesful due to the problems of the technique. The biggest problem has been that devoré patterns haven´t opened properly in the final wash. Other problems have been that colour surface has been uneven and granular and the dyes have diffused at the end of the process.
Solution has been searched for by investigating the use of heat treatment on the fabrics in which coloured devoré paste is used. Experiments have been made in which the successfulness of heat treatment has been clarified by ironing and mangling. The factors having an effect on the successfulness of heat treatment have been time and temperature and by varying these factors an attempt has been made to reach the desired goal. Furthermore, the author has tired to reduce the amount of uneveness in the colour surface by changing the manner of mixing the dye. The diffusion of the dyes has been studied during the experiments. It has also been examined how dying of fabrics affect the result of devoré.
In the work an attempt has been made to search for fabrics suited for devoré.
Solutions to the problems has been found and the technique works better. Proper heating time and temperature have been found for both ironing and mangling. Red dye needs longer time for heating than other colours. With iron the best time is 1minute 30 seconds and with mangling 6-10 minutes. Heating time for many coloured fabric is 8 minutes. The uneveness of colour surfase has been reduced by mixing colour in hot water or in thickner paste before adding devoré paste. Colour diffusion has decreased when heating time is longer and temperature is higher. The best reut of coloured devoré has been found with Finlayson´s devoré fabric, which contains 68 % viscose and 32 % polyester. The colored devodé fabric has been technically successful, but whole study has been quasi-experimental and the tests haven´t been repeated several times.
