samples of woodblock printing have been found, the first method of textile printing that was widely
utilized was created.

Printing on textiles, which can be substances crafted from herbal or man-made fibers, has been round
for the reason that third Century B.C. People create published textiles to supply appealing designs on
cloth. These designs shape creative preparations or motifs in a whole lot of shades and styles. Dyes or
pigments bond with fibers with inside the cloth and assist to guard published fabric from fading. The

TYPES OF PRINTING:

There are following few types of textile printing:

 Woodblock printing
 Roller printing
 Screen printing
 Warp printing
 Dye-sublimation printing

BLOCK PRINTING:

Block printing, commonly referred to as relief printing, is the dyeing of fabric using some kind of carved
material; historically, this was typically wood or copper, but on occasion rubber and even other
materials have been used, and are still used today.
The East India Company started sending printed cotton to England from the start of the 17 th century.
Because they were unable to create the desired designs themselves, the English also ordered certain
patterns that were more straightforward than those in traditional Indian style to be printed and shipped
back to England. The first print shop in England was not opened until 1676, close to London, by a French
refugee.

An 18th-century printing method that utilized rollers or cylinders later came into being. The fabric is
moved along a spinning central cylinder in this procedure and pushed by a number of rollers, each of
which has an engraved design. Some roller printing machines were able to print as many as 6 colours at
once, making them much faster than the block printing process. Each roller is supplied with a different
color through the feed rollers.

The development of the contemporary silk-screen printing technique began in the 20 th century. In the
middle of the 20th century, multi-color rotary screen printing allowed for faster production rates and
larger-scale screen printing, which increased its economic viability.

Digital textile printing, which employs computer-controlled lasers, is available today.
