Abstract: The application describes a method and apparatus for controlling surface finish in the printing of a substrate in a plurality of passes using a curable print material and an ink jet printer having a radiation source. A first set of passes is carried out, including depositing ink on the substrate and emitting radiation from a radiation source toward the deposited ink. The emitted radiation applies a dose of radiation in a first range. A second set of passes is then carried out to deposit ink on the substrate. Further radiation is emitted from a radiation source toward the deposited ink, the emitted radiation applying a dose of radiation in a second range different from the first range.

Abstract: A carton (20) comprising an outer container (1) and at least one inner container (10) wherein the outer container receives the inner container(s) is provided. The outer container (1) comprises a lid (2), a bottom wall (3), a rear wall (4), two side walls (5, 6), a substantially open front section and a closure means. Each inner container (10) comprises a bottom panel (11), a top panel (12), two side panels (13, 14), a front panel (15) and a rear panel (16); a section of the rear panel is openable, so as to provide the inner container with an opening. The inner container(s) are hingedly attached to the outer container (1) so that each inner container (10) can pivot from a closed position wherein the inner container (10) is located inside the outer container (1) to an open position wherein the inner container (10) is located substantially adjacent to the outer container (1).

Abstract: A packaged fabric conditioning product comprising a flowable fabric conditioning composition comprising 0.5-40% by weight of at least one unsaturated quaternary ammonium compound, said composition contained in bottom-dispensing packaging which comprises (i) a deformable container in which the fabric conditioning composition is stored with ullage; and (ii) a dispensing device which is located at the base of the container such that in the inverted position the flowable fabric conditioning composition is positioned beneath the ullage and above the dispensing device.

Abstract: A floor covering system is described comprising at least two layers in which one of the layers is a base layer made from a multitude of interlocking base elements having a multitude of raised hollow tubes with tapering sides on the upper surface and the other layer is a top covering layer, preferably made from a vinyl material, preferably having a simulated wooden appearance, to which is adhered a fabric backing layer having a multitude of loops. In use the base elements are placed on a floor with the tubes uppermost and the top covering layer with the loops lowermost placed on the base elements such that the loops engage around the tapering side surfaces of the tubes to releasably attach the two layers together so that when required, such as for example, when the top covering layer is worn, the top covering layer can be removed from the base layer without having to also remove the base layer thereby allowing the floor covering layer to be readily replaced with a new floor covering layer.

Abstract: A device for treating fabrics in a tumble dryer comprising a reservoir for storing a fabric treatment composition and a transfer surface to expose fabric treatment composition from the reservoir to directly contact fabrics in the dryer, thereby transferring a portion of the fabric treatment composition into contact with fabrics in the tumble dryer during a tumble drying cycle; characterised in that the transfer surface when attached to a fixing surface of the tumble dryer is inclined outwardly toward the interior of the dryer and 0°-45° relative to a vertical plane.
