• Minor Defect –
• A defect is defined as minor
defect that is not likely to reduce the
usability of the product, but nevertheless
may negatively influence the sales.
• It may be caused by
variation in the size of the
filling yarn and by the
differences in tension of
either the filling or warp
yarns.
Bleeding
• It is a horizontal band of
a different hue running
across the fabric.
• It may be caused by a
change of filling bobbin
in the loom or a loom
stop and start up
Shading
• It is a variation in color
tone either
horizontally or
vertically.
• It is generally due to
uneven tension on the
fabric.
Stained
• It indicates a
discoloration caused
by a foreign substance,
dirt, grease, oil or
sizing residue on the

print paste
• It is major defect as it happens
throughout the fabric unless
the viscosity is corrected.
Misfits
• Use of scanning print head, or a print head that moves back and
forth across the substrate in straight line placing drops of ink at
precise locations along the line.
Color Smear
• The result of color being smeared during printing.
Color Out
Mottled
• Aesthetic finishes:
– Aesthetic looks
Unwanted marks on
fabric.
• Oily stains with dust adhered to
• Caused due to
– chemical spillage on fabric.
– Localized excess bleaching.
– Localized excess enzyme wash.
• Major defect if pin holes extend into body of fabric far enough
to be visible in the finished product.
Sanforize Pucker
Selvage Torn
• Usually caused by excessive tension while processing through
tenter frames.
Cuts or Nicks
Seam Tears
• Frequently caused by the turning equipment used to
reverse garments in finishing.
Soil
Streaks
• Markings caused by some types of turn boards or
defectively finished trimming.
Inadequate Pressing
• Condition where filling yarns are not square with wrap yarns
on woven fabrics or where courses are not square with wale
lines on knits.
