Dear Friends,
Thank you for taking the time to review this ATEX mailing,
we appreciate your interest.
For those of you unfamiliar with our firm, Testfabrics,
Inc. is an established manufacturer and distributor of textile
test materials to the global textile industry. Our firm
designed and produced the very first ‘multifiber fabrics’
for AATCC colorfastness test methods in 1940. Today, we
still produce some of those same fabrics and their derivatives
that are used worldwide for ISO, AATCC and corporate quality
assurance tests.
It has also been our privilege to service the textile needs
of educators and their students from the beginning of our
firm’s history.
If you plan to attend ITAA and will be traveling by car
and might like to visit our facilities en route, please
let us know. We are approx. 3 hours west of NYC, 2 hrs.
north of Philadelphia and convenient to major interstates
80/81/476/380. Please call ahead for an appointment and
directions. We have a small weaving facility near our laboratory
and distribution warehouse. We also expect to participate
at ITAA.
Please note that we recently switched to the metric system
for the sale of our fabrics. Bona fide school purchase orders
still get the discounted prices for prepared for printing
and dyeing piece goods. New catalogs and pricelists will
be available shortly.
We have a new flexible swatchbook system. It is a 3 ring
binder with 1”x 2” samples mounted on multiple
pages in page protectors. You can purchase the entire book
or individual pages as you need them. (List price $60.00,
but with school purchase orders, only $45.00 plus UPS. Individual
pages are $5.00/each list, school price, $4.00 each.)
We are currently quite active in supplying specifically
prepared and pre-treated substrates for digital printing
with dyes. Several textile and design schools now have digital
printers and their students are producing some exciting
results.
We now offer an interesting collection of fabric swatches
and dyes available in small amounts for a new microscale
chemistry experiment for teaching freshman chemistry. The
experiment text is available by contacting the author, Dr.
Mordechai Livneh of Bar Ilan University in Israel, livnehm@mail.biu.ac.il.
If you have any questions, require more information, catalogs
and samples, please let us know.
Thank you.
Thomas A. Klaas
