Abstract Starting mark is one of the major defects of woven fabric that occurred during weaving. Various parameters
and conditions affect this Starting mark for which fabric quality is deteriorated. In this work the appropriate factors for the
Starting mark in the different construction of the fabric have been investigated. Similar setting points can create different type of starting mark in d ifferent construction fabric. In this work it has been observed that heavy twill fab ric has the tendency to create thick starting mark and loose plain fabrics may have the thin or open starting mark. Mechanical settings affect strongly on this starting mark than electrical settings do.
Keywords Starting Mark, Back Rest Roller, Dropper Height, Warp Tension, Automatic Start Offset (ASO), Auto matic

1. Introduction
In weav ing a p lanar structure is produced by interlacing two sets of yarns, fibers, roving’s, or filaments where the elements pass each other essentially at right angles and one set of elements is parallel to the fabric axis.
During weaving different types of defects can be found in fabric but the common defects are as below:
1. Starting mark or loo m bar, 2. Contamination, 3. Stain 4.
Uneven lot mixing, 5. Starch mark, 6. Float,7. Double yarn,
8. M iss or running pick, 9. Hanging warp, 10. Loop
Among all this faults loom bar or starting mark is most common fault. Due to this starting mark fabric is rejected in dyeing and printing. It creates a lot of problems in the fabric. 3. Experimental
The experimental work was conducted in 2011 In Sinha
Yarn Dyeing & Fabrics Ltd, there are 86
