Abstract

A method of manufacturing and coloring a two tone Venetian blind tape is provided. The two tone Venetian blind tape is particularly adapted to be used in a Venetian blind having a succession of colored slats wherein the surfaces of one side of the slats are of a light color or substantially neutral, i.e., white or off-white and the surfaces on the reverse side of the slats are of any decorator color or pattern or contrasting color. In accordance with the present invention, the outer surface of the face fabric of the Venetian blind assembly is colored with a decorative color and/or pattern or in an alternative embodiment a decorative pattern may be applied to the outer surface of a pre-dyed face fabric by means of a thermal transfer printing process. The color or decorative pattern which is desired to be applied to the outer surface of the face fabric is provided on a conventional heat sensitive printing paper. In one embodiment, by utilizing a thermal transfer printing process, the outer surface of the face fabric can be finished in a desired color and/or decorative pattern, while leaving the back fabric in the natural (white) color or in the alternative embodiment the decorative pattern is applied to the colored outer surface of the face fabric, while leaving the back fabric colored.
