HAND SCREEN PRINTED FABRIC
Textile printing is called localized dyeing. Unlike dyeing, in printing the dye penetrates into the selective areas of the substrate. A distinction is usually made between printing methods and printing styles.
Printing is done by using a thickening agent along with the dye and the required chemicals. The thickening agents, also called the thickeners, restrict the spreading of the dye. Thickeners are generally high molecular weight polymeric compound, usually water soluble, swell able substances with colloidal character which are used in their thickened state as thickeners for printing with aqueous solution of dye and pigments.
Textiles screen printing is the process by which a design is formed on the fabric surface normally by applying colorants with stencils, rollers, wooden blocks or screens
Printed textile fabrics are an integral part of our lives, being universally used to decorate both our clothing and surroundings. The print making technique has an unlimited potential for decorating dresses, furnishing fabrics and wall papers etc. In order to decorate textile surfaces, various print making techniques are adopted. For printing fabric, colour is applied in definite patterns and designs using various methods.
