Document Summary

5 printing techniques/processes on fabric: hand block printing. Pros: si(cid:373)plest (cid:373)ethod a(cid:374)d (cid:272)reates artisti(cid:272) results that (cid:272)a(cid:374)"t (cid:271)e obtained another way. End use: the wooden blocks create a pattern on the fabric by pressing them onto the plain fabric: perrotine printing. Pros: rate of production has increased from this method, and there is fluidity in the pattern (no breaks in between) Cons: there are restriction such as; only up to 3 colors can be used and (cid:272)a(cid:374)"t e(cid:454)(cid:272)eed 5 i(cid:374)(cid:272)hes (cid:448)erti(cid:272)all(cid:455) End use: the machine transfers the color and pattern to the fabric, but in a faster way than hand block printing: roller/machine printing. Pros: up to 6 colors at once, 10,000-20,000 yards can be printed a day, it can reproduce any style, and is very precise.

End use: multicolor patterns are formed on the fabric by the 6 rollers on the machine: stencil printing.
