This project was completed as part of a team-based Complex Engineering Project (CEP) under Course Code: TE 338, Course Title: Wet Processing III Sessional (Level 3, Term 2). Together, we carried out the full wet-processing sequence on polyester knit fabric, including disperse dyeing, disperse screen printing, and resin finishing. Our objective was to achieve a warm red-dominant base shade, apply a contrasting blue print, and improve fabric performance through resin-catalyst finishing.

As part of the reliability study, our team reproduced the same process on a second sample using identical recipes and conditions. Both samples were evaluated using standard textile testing methods to check reproducibility, quality stability, and process consistency.

Key Outcomes:

• Successful development of warm red base shade and blue-dominant print

• Reproduced sample closely matched main sample → high process repeatability

• Acceptable wash & perspiration fastness for disperse-dyed polyester

• Accurate shade matching under D65 and TL84; slight metamerism under UV/fluorescent

•  Resin finishing improved crease recovery by 20°+, enhancing dimensional stability
