The printed goods are steamed for an hour or two, and then aged from
twenty-four to thirty-six hours. They are then padded in the chalk and
arseniate of soda bath; after which they are washed and soaped in a single
soap-bath without tin crystals; and, if needful, cleaned in a weak
solution of bleaching powder.
