Abstract
A product including a textile substrate and an image printed on the textile substrate in a predetermined area wherein surface fibers and lint are selectively removed from the textile substrate in the predetermined area by burning.
Claims15
A method, the method comprising:
- providing a substrate which has a maximum of radiation absorption at a first wavelength band;
- depositing, on a predetermined area of the substrate, a conditioning fluid which has a maximum of radiation absorption at a second wavelength band;
- exposing the substrate to electromagnetic radiation at the second wavelength band to selectively remove undesirable surface features from the predetermined area of the substrate;
- and
- wherein the first wavelength band differs from the second wavelength band.
2 more elements
A conditioning device;
- the conditioning device comprises:
- a printing part to print, on a substrate, a conditioning fluid having a radiation absorption pattern over wavelength;
- a radiation part to expose the substrate to electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength band matching with a maximum of the radiation absorption pattern to selectively remove undesirable surface features from the substrate.
