An odor control substrate that is applied with an activated carbon ink is provided. The activated carbon ink is applied in a pattern that covers from about 25% to about 95% of the surface area of the substrate. Although not covering the entire surface, the present inventors have discovered that the activated carbon ink is still capable of providing good odor reduction qualities to the substrate. To further enhance the aesthetic appeal of the odor control substrate to a consumer, one or more colored inks may also be applied the substrate in a pattern that may or may not overlap with the activated carbon ink pattern. The colored ink(s) may contrast well with the activated carbon ink to provide an overall design that is more aesthetically than otherwise would be provided by a uniform coating of activated carbon ink.

A production process and production equipment for pure cotton fabric with white space effect. The production process includes pretreatment, lye padding, dye paste scraping, stack cooling and fixation, and floating color washing. The dye paste scraping step refers to scraping a reactive dye paste on the back of pure cotton fabric subjected to lye padding. The stack cooling and fixation step refers to rolling up the pure cotton fabric scraped with the reactive dye paste; in the rolling process, isolating membranes are introduced to separate each layer of the cotton fabric, so that the reactive dye paste on the back of the pure cotton fabric to gradually diffuses, permeates, adsorbs to a right side, and finally reacts into bonds to fix the color. As the reactive dye is in a paste shape, diffusivity and permeability of the dye are limited to a certain extent that only part of the dye can reach the right side of the pure cotton fabric; in addition, the pure cotton fabric has bump woven texture; therefore, uniform and natural white space effect is formed on the right side.
