What is the difference between Crocking and rubbing?
Transfer of dye from the surface of a dyed or printed fabric onto another surface by rubbing. The more color is transferred, the more the fabric “crocks”. Crocking determines the amount of color transferred from the surface of colored textile material to other surfaces by rubbing.

What is color fastness to Crocking?
the resistance of a material to change in any of its color characteristics, to transfer of its colorants to adjacent materials, or both, as a result of the exposure of the material to any environment that might be encountered during the processing, testing, storage, or use of the material.
How can I improve the color fastness of Crocking?
During rubbing both colour and coloured short fibres are transferred to the crocking cloth so it is better to use combed yarn. Fabric or yarn surface characteristics: Smooth surface definitely will give good rubbing fastness.
What is color fastness test?
A colour fastness test determines the resistance of textile colours against specific conditions. Tests include water, light, rubbing, washing and perspiration tests to name a few. It is an important indicator to measure the durability of dyed products and helps with due diligence.
What is grayscale testing?
Grey scale testing is the evaluation of differences in colour shading of a material’s appearance. Grey scale is used in the assessment of change in colour, occurring in colour fastness testing, as described in ISO 105-A02 (BS EN 20105-A02) and when using lightfastness standards.
How do I check grayscale?
You can check every pixel to see if it is grayscale (R == G == B)
What is Crocking fastness?
What does Crocking mean and why is it important? Crocking means the transfer of color from one fabric onto another by rubbing. A fabric with poor color fastness would transfer its color easily onto other fabrics, especially to white color fabrics.

What happens if a fabric fails the wet or dry crocking test?
If a fabric fails the wet or dry crocking test it will also fail in the field. Designers can utilize the wet and dry crocking test to ensure the fabric selections they make will not have dye transfer issues after installation.
