Abstract
Abstract Process for producing novel fabric duplicating ribbons having improved ink-receptivity formed from synthetic thermoplastic filaments, in which the ribbons are rendered more ink-receptive by contact at elevated temperatures with vapor of a compound of titanium, silicon or germanium in the presence of moisture, and are thereafter impregnated with ink.
