Abstract
A system and method are provided for dyeing fabric, the system including a dye spray station, a dye fixation station downstream of the dye spray station, and at least one rinse station downstream of the dye fixation station. The process includes opening the fabric with a spreader to maintain the fabric flat and taut, spraying the outer surfaces of the fabric with a dye, and exposing the fabric to atmospheric steam to chemically react and affix the dye to the fabric.
