Abstract: A printed multicolor synthetic pile fabric having a substrate and pile formed of fibers of substantially uniform length and diameter with the fibers arranged in random groups extending uniformly across the entire width and along the entire length of the fabric. Each group comprises a random number of fibers extending at an angle and in a direction that randomly varies from the angles and directions of the fibers in adjacent groups. The fibers within each group are preferably set in the greige goods.

Abstract: Methods of forming a printed multicolor synthetic pile fabric having a substrate and pile formed of fibers arranged in random groups extending essentially uniformly across the entire width and along the entire length of the fabric are disclosed. The methods can be utilized to form fabrics wherein each of the above-mentioned groups comprises a random number of fibers extending at angles and in directions that randomly vary from the angles and directions of the fibers in adjacent groups. The methods can involve washing griege goods for selected times and at selected temperatures so as to randomly reorient the fibers forming the flocked surface of the fabric. In preferred embodiments, the fabrics are printed after fiber reorientation.

Abstract: A transfer printed, flocked fabric includes a textile substrate, raised nylon fibers on the substrate, a black-pigmented adhesive adhering the nylon fibers to the substrate and disperse dye distributed in a pattern in upper portions of the nylon fibers and the upper portions of the nylon fibers being colored only by disperse dye, thereby forming a deep, dark, crock-fast, colored print.
