Textile printing

Textile printing is a technique of applying a pattern or image to a finished cloth using dyes and various methods: stencil (screen printing), digital, roller or hand stamp. Unlike a woven or embroidered pattern, print sits on the surface of the fabric, so it allows the most complex multi-coloured designs to be reproduced quickly — from small floral prints to large photographic panels. Each method has its own character: screen printing gives a rich, dense colour, digital printing photographic detail. Printing made patterned cloth accessible and varied. The quality of the print determines the design's resistance to washing and rubbing and the sharpness of the colours.
