Glazed Chintz finishing method?

• A. Friction calendered/resin
• B. Resist print/screen method
• C. Bleached
• D. Dyeing

Answer: (B)

Glazed chintz combines a bold, crisp printed pattern with a glossy surface, and that crisp pattern is produced by resist printing through a screen. In resist printing, a paste is applied to the fabric in the design areas to prevent dye from taking there. When the fabric is dyed, the protected areas stay the same, while the rest takes color, creating sharp outlines typical of chintz. The gloss finish comes from a glaze applied afterward (often resin-based) and then heat-set or calendered to give the shiny look. So the printing method that yields the defined chintz motif is resist print via screen, making it the best fit. The other options describe finishing or color-changing steps that don’t establish the characteristic chintz pattern.
