(taken from NUNO list) Patterns were screened onto a plain weave polyester outer layer in a special resist that heats on exposure to light, then irradiated with near-infrared rays to partially break down the surface, revealing the inner rayon pile. The resultant fabric has a scarred, somewhat painful look to it, but the inner rayon tufts peek out happily unscathed. The abstract design is black on black.
