This was an excellent presentation showing the basic principles of the technology.
Trustpilot
The two session were unique and provided information that was different from the usual dyeing's done in production lines at the present. The efforts taken by both speakers are highly appreciated , their efforts will provide a path for others who want to walk on them.
Trustpilot
Very good presentation from the two ladies. I was especially interested in the dyeing segments in each presentation as I am a retired textile dyer. I have been doing some experimental work myself in applying natural dyes that I have extracted from flowers,plants ,trees etc at the garden centre I volunteer at.
Trustpilot
The talk was interesting, but short on detail, especially on costs. There was no information as to what dye classes could be used, only that only cellulosic fabrics could be processed. Rather disappointing overall.
Trustpilot
A very interesting and informative presentation which I thoroughly enjoyed and am sure that I will continue to refer to. Kath.
