Stoll-ikat plating ®

For the so-called Stoll-ikat plating® one needs two plating colors (= a plating color combination) per pattern row for each color change in one system.

With Stoll-ikat plating® it is possible to use a different plating color combination in each system.
A maximum of 30 changes of position are allowed in one pattern row, where a distance of 2 inches (with 1.0 m/s) between the color changes is to be respected.
