The olive being given in a madder bath, and the ground well whitened
(see MADDER), the cloth is padded in a weak buff mordant; and upon the
parts that are to remain white, the weakest simple discharge No. 3. is
printed-on by the cylinder; (in some works the discharge paste is
applied and made dry before padding through the iron liquor;) the goods
are cleared of the paste in a tepid chalky water, then dyed in a
quercitron bath, containing a little glue, and cleared in a bran bath.
_Discharge mordants upon mordants_ may be regarded as a beautiful
modification of the preceding style. _Example._
_A violet ground or impression, with red and white._
1. Pad with an acetate of iron of 1·004; or print-on with the cylinder,
iron liquor of 1·027 thickened with British gum.
