DYEING FAULTS
Crease / Rope Marks
Machine Stoppages Excessive tension on the fabric Nozzle pressure / Lifter Reel Rubber Operator Negligence Knitting Machine Faults (Winder Line) Fabric is knitted too tight Lycra used during fabric knitting Heat setting is not done before dyeing in case of Lycra knitting

DYEING FAULTS
Roll-to-Roll Shade Variation
Mixing of yarn brands Mixing of yarn spinning dates Mixing of Blends of Yarn Mixing of Knitting Sources Different types of knitting oil used on the different knitting machines Machinery unbalancing during dyeing Under or Over Utilization of dyeing machine Nozzle pressure is not maintained

DYEING FAULTS
With in the Roll Shade Variation
Improper temperature application for light shade Alkalis problem for dark shades Improper bleaching / Scouring Poor exhaustion of dyes Poor Dye Pick up with the passage of time Improper washing in double dyeing process (Blend Dyeing) Improper cross dyeing (One bath dyeing)

DYEING FAULTS
Lot to Lot Shade Variation (Off Shade) Dyestuff or Chemical or Fiber Lot Change Process is Wrong Recipe & Addition is wrong Wrong selection of dyes Maintenance of wrong temperature Nozzle Pressure differences Water Hardness or Poor dye pick up of fiber Improper Bleaching Improper Rinsing & Dosing Improper Mixing of Dyes & Chemicals

DYEING FAULTS
Harshness
Excessive Bleaching Excessive Temperature Applications during Drying Excessive Rubbing during process Inferior quality of softener used Filler (Sodium Carbonate etc. which is used to enhance the weight of the chemicals, it also disturb the pH) deposition on the fabric instead of softener Inferior Fiber quality or Tighter Fabric Additions during dyeing (Over process)

DYEING FAULTS
Mild Dew
Excessive Washing Improper water extraction Humidity Improper Storage / Packing of Fabric Moisture Regain due to fiber characteristics

DYEING FAULTS
pH Imbalance High utilization of Acids /Alkalis during process Measurement of pH is improper Improper Neutralization Improper Rinsing / Washing Improper chemicals selection

DYEING FAULTS
Pilling
Excessive temperature application cellulosic / Proteinic fibers on
Excessive Bleaching/Over Process (Additions)

Improper Nozzle Pressure and Lifter Reel Adjustments Lifter Reel Rubber is torn out Jet dyeing affects fibers (Blended dyeing) Poor quality of fibers (Short Staple length) Open End yarn used (Napped) Fabric knitted too tightly or too loose Less twist per inch (TPI)

DYEING FAULTS
White Shade change after drying Optical brightener light interruption at high temperature (Light vision problem) Inferior quality of Optical Brightener Inferior quality of yarn (Cotton) Improper bleaching High Temperature during Drying

DYEING FAULTS
Trims Shade Matching
Different types of yarn used in fabric & trims Knitted Structure difference Improper Stitching of Trims during Lot making Difference in yarn tension during knitting Nozzle pressure difference for Trims & Fabrics Improper Recipe setting for Fabric & Trims

DYEING FAULTS
Fabric Bursting
Fabric Tangling during Process Over Process (Extra time / additions) Wrong chemical selection in accordance with the fiber properties Improper application of chemicals (Dosing) Excessive use of Acid / Alkalis Large pH Over Stripping Fiber strength & Fabric Structure Over loading of fabric crossing the machine capacity

DYEING FAULTS
Bleeding / Poor fastness to Washing (1) Improper dyes selection Improper dyeing process Improper Rinsing Weak forces development between fiber & dye due to Poor penetration of the dyestuff Temperature problem Machine Pressure problem Improper mixing of dyes & Chemicals Improper Dosing Fiber dyes retention capacity Problems in fiber swelling

DYEING FAULTS
Bleeding / Poor fastness to Washing (2)
Migration of the dye molecules from dyes to water or anywhere else (To avoid this anti migrating agents are being used) Low bonding capacity dyes (Turquoise) Over dye deposition (Dark shades recipe) Improper Fixation of the dyestuff Improper pH Strong / Weak interaction of dye molecules with water

DYEING FAULTS
Poor Crocking / Rubbing
Improper fixation of the dyestuff Improper Rinsing Over dye deposition (Dark shades recipe) Fiber surface harshness (Structure) Inferior quality of dyes Low bonding capacity of dyes (Turquoise) Weak forces development between fiber & dye due to Poor penetration of the dyestuff High water absorption capacity of the fiber Strong / Weak interaction of dye molecules with water
