WHAT IS PRINTING ?

PRINTING IS NOTHING BUT

APPLYING COLOUR ON THE
FABRIC BY VARIOUS MEANS
 Printing styles

Direct printing
Over printing
Discharge printing
Resist printing

•Hand block printing

•Batik printing
•Tie- dye printing
•Ikat printing
 Hand block printing

•It is very slow method

•It is done where the labor is
cheap
•It can’t be produced in large
quantity

Designs are carved with costly

wooden or metal blocks
in that dye paste is
applied and press firmly
wherever we need
 Batik printing
The patterns are
•costly
generally in
geometric, floral,
bird or animal

Designs are made with Two methods

wax on a fabric which is •Tjanting
subsequently immersed in •Tjap
a dye to absorb a colour
on the unwaxed portions
 Tie dye printing

•Costly process

Dye is resisted by knots that are immersed in the dye bath. The outside
of knotted portion is dyed, but the inside is not penetrated if the knot is
firmly tied. Partial penetration occurs when the knot is not tight
The process can be
repeatedly by making
additional knots in
the fabric

Conventional printing

Roller printing
Warp printing
Flat bed screen printing
Rotary screen printing
Stencil printing
 Roller printing
Roller printing is the
machine method of
printing designs on
cloth by engraving
rollers. It turns out
colour- designed
fabrics in vast
quantities at the rate
of 1000 to 4000 yards
an hour. It is very in
expensive process
when compare to
hand method
 Warp printing
Warp printing is roller printing applied to warp yarns
before they are woven into fabric. Fine white or
neutral – coloured filling yarns are generally used for
weaving so that the design on the warp will not be
obscured

 Stencil printing
In stencil printing the
design must first cut in
cardboard, wood or metal.
The stencil may have a fine
delicate design or there may
be large space through
which a great amount of
colour can be applied. A
stencil design usually limited
to application of only one
colour and is generally used
for narrow widths of fabric.
Modernized methods of printing

•Digital (ink-jet ) printing

•Heat transfer printing
•Electrostatic printing
•Foil printing
 Digital ink jet printing

•In this instead of wax

based ink normal black ink
is used for image
formatting on screen.
• This ink system is very
cheap and works trouble
free and offers a excellent

Foil printing

• The transfer of the foil to

paper or plastic is done by using
a metal die, heat and pressure.
• Foil printing can be done in
single, multiple colours, rainbow
colour or in a holographic
pattern.
