Silk and cashmere are printed or painted using acid dyes, fixed only after proper steaming. Before steaming, all scarves have to be dried properly. After drying them properly, each scarf has to be warped either using lightweight cotton cloth (also called muslin) or, more correctly, finely woven breathable fabric or paper (Like newspaper).

Small fabric can be steamed from a steam-generating pot, like a pressure cooker used in a kitchen. The steam from such a cooker has to be transformed into a custom-made closed vessel known as a steam box.

But if we are steaming large volumes, we must go for a steam ager machine. They are classified as 1 Continuous and 2 Discontinuous.

Continuous and discontinuous are both explanatory, so they are just termed as ongoing, moving, or static.

These machines are made for professional and industrial use.
