Abstract: Disclosed is a light-source device that allows for the color recognition and can prevent a UV (ultraviolet)-sensitive illuminated object from becoming exposed. A user can freely select the wavelength of said light-source device in accordance with the intended use. The light-source device is provided with a light-source unit comprising a combination of a plurality of light-emitting diode elements that emit different wavelengths of light; a control unit that controls the output of each of the various light-emitting diode elements in the light-source unit independently of each other; and a power supply unit that supplies power to the light-source unit and the control unit. The plurality of light-emitting diode elements include, at least, a blue light-emitting diode element. The blue light-emitting diode element emits a blue light with a wavelength of at least above 420 nm.

Abstract: A dyed fabric, and apparel constructed therefrom, that has a high degree of colorfastness and a soft hand, formed by the process comprising the steps of applying dyestuffs directly to a polyester fabric that has been pre-treated with a wicking agent, and fixing the dyestuffs to the fabric by heating the fabric at between about 350 degrees Fahrenheit for between about 90 and 120 seconds, whereby the finished fabric has a crocking index of at least 4.0, and a soft hand.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for preventing excessive pigment buildup on the exterior surface of a rotary printing screen in a region adjacent the edge of fabric being printed including a flexible wiper member biased against the exterior surface of the rotary printing screen and positioned in the excessive pigment region and a mounting bracket for holding the wiper member in a predetermined orientation with respect to the exterior surface of the rotary printing screen. The wiper member is positioned in the excessive pigment region and is angled to the axis of rotation of the rotary printing screen so as to push the excessive pigment buildup away from the fabric being printed. The method further includes applying a lubricant stream to the exterior surface adjacent to and upstream of the flexible wiper member.
