Mixture of orange colour, and clearing away of the resist

A Dictionary of Arts, Manufactures and Mines · 1840 · p. 245
—The goods, on coming out of the mandarin ing apparatus, are rinsed in running water; then boiled in soap water, quickened with a little soda, at the rate of 2 libs. of the former and 4 oz. of the latter for a piece of 30 yards. They must be worked by the wince for half an hour. They are now rinsed in cold water, then pa ed through hot, again rinsed, and dried. I shall give some examples of the mode of manufacture, which is undoubtedly one of the most curious applications of chemical ingenuity. 1. Orange ground with white figures. (1.) Print-on the fat reserve; (2.) mandarine; (3.) brighten the orange, and clear. 2. Orange ground, with blue figures. (1.) Dip in the indigo vat as for calico; (2.) print-on the fat resist to preserve the blue; (3.) mandarine; 4. clear, and brighten the orange by the boil. 3. Orange ground, with blue and white figures. (1.) Print-on the resist to preserve the white; (2.) dip in the vat, rinse, and dry; (3.) ground-in the fat resist to preserve the blue; (4.) mandarine; (5.) cleanse, and brighten. 4. Full green ground, and white figures. (1.) Print-on the resist; (2.) mandarine, and rinse without drying; (3.) dip in the blue vat; (4.) cleanse, and brighten. 5. Full green ground, and blue figures. (1.) Dip a pale blue, rinse, and dry; (2.) print-on the fat resist; (3.) mandarine, wash and dry; (4.) dip full blue; (5.) clean, and brighten. 6. Full green ground, with white and blue figures. (1.) Print-on the resist; (2.) dip a pale blue, and dry; (3.) ground-in the fat resist; (4.) mandarine and rinse; (5.) dip a full blue; (6.) clean, and brighten. 7. Full green ground, with white, blue, and orange figures. (1.) Print-on the fat reserve; (2.) dip a pale blue, and dry; (3.) ground-in the reserve; (4.) mandarine, rinse, and dry; (5.) ground-in the reserve; (6.) dip a full blue; (7.) clean, and brighten. If blue grounds with white figures be wanted, the resist must be applied, and then the goods must be dipped in the blue vat: the resist is afterwards removed by a boil in soap-water. The above proce es are applicable to chalys. The property which nitric acid po e es of staining animal matters yellow, such as the skin, wool, and silk, is here applied to a very elegant purpose.
