%X The single step fixation process for reactive printing and crease resistant finishing of cotton fabric with four potential factors namely; concentrations of dye and crease resistant, fixation method and temperature has been statistically analysed in this work. The optimum conditions of factors and levels of simultaneous fixation have been explored. A single step process for reactive printing and crease resistant finishing of cotton fabric is described. Evaluations of the process were made with respect to K/S, dry and wet crease recovery, tensile and tear strength, fastness to washing, light & rubbing, resistance to abrasion and pilling. An Econtrol fixation at a temperature of 145¡æ was proved to be efficient for imparting single-step reactive print fixation and crease resistant finishing to cotton fabric.
