Printing
In the case of resist printing, a special printing paste (called resist) is printed onto certain areas of the fabric to prevent dye fixation. In the case of physical resist the material is printed with a difficult-to-wet resin that inhibits the penetration of a dye applied in a second stage. On the other hand, with a chemical resist, dye fixation is prevented by a chemical reaction. Depending on the way the process is carried out, one can speak of pre-printing, intermediate or over-printing resists. One common procedure is the wet-on-wet process in which the resist paste is initially printed, then the material is overprinted with full cover screen and finally fixed and washed. Over-printing resists can be applied only if the dye, already present in the previously dyed and dried fabric, is still in its unfixed form, as in the case of developing dyes.

1. A JOURNEY INTO THE WORLD OF PRINTING By:- AIBA KUSHAL SWETA 2. • Printing can also be defined as localized dyeing.• Defined as the application of dye or pigment in a different pattern on the fabric and by subsequent after treatment of fixing the dye or pigment to get a particular design.• Sometimes a printed fabric can be identified by looking at the back side of fabric where there is no design or color as face side.• In cotton, dyes like vat, reactive are used• In manmade, dyes like disperse and cationic are used 3. DIFFERENT STYLES OF PRINTINGThere are three basic approaches to printing a color on a fabric1. DIRECT PRINTING2. DISCHARGE PRINTING3. RESIST PRINTING 4. DIRECT PRINTING• In this type of printing dye is applied onto the fabric by carved block, stencil, screen, engraved roller etc.• The dye is imprinted on the fabric in paste form and any desired pattern may be produced• Example:-Block Printing, Roller Printing, Screen Printing etc. 5. DISCHARGE PRINTING• In this method the fabric is dyed and then printed with a chemical that will destroy the color in designed areas.• Sometimes the base color is removed and another color printed in its place. 6. RESIST PRINTING• In this method bleached fabric are printed with a resist paste ( a resinous substance that cannot be penetrated when the fabric is immersed in a dye ).• The dye will only affect only the parts that are not covered by the resist paste .• After the fabric has passed through a subsequent dyeing process the resist paste is removed, leaving a pattern on a dark background 7. DIFFERENT TYPES OF PRINTING• BLOCK PRINTING• ROLLER PRINTING• SCREEN PRINTING• FLAT-SCREEN PRINTING• ROTARY PRINTING• TRANSFER PRINTING• STENCIL PRINTING• DIGITAL PRINTING• BATIK PRINTING• TIE & DYE 8. BLOCK PRINTING• It is the oldest and simplest way of printing• In this method a wooden block with a raised pattern on the surface was dipped into the printing colorant and then pressed face down on to fabric.• The desired pattern was obtained by repeating the process using different colors.• Generally the wooden block is carved out of hand• Printing is done manually 9. BLOCK PRINTING 10. BLOCK PRINTING 11. BLOCK PRINTING 12. BLOCK PRINTING ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES1. Simple method of 1. Involves much printing manual work2. No expensive 2. Method is slow and equipment required therefore low output3. No limitation in repeat 3. Good skilled labors of size of style needed for multi color4.
Prints produced have design great decorative value 4. Fine and delicate and stamp of designs hard to craftsmanship produce
13. ROLLER PRINTING• It is the machine method of printing designs on cloths by engraved rollers.• The design is engraved on the surface of a metal roller, to which dye is applied, and the excess is scraped off the rollers surface, leaving dye in the engraved sections. When it rolls across the fabric, the dye on the roller transfers to the fabric. 14. Diagram of roller printing m/c 15. ROLLER PRINTING M/C 16. ROLLER PRINTING 17.

Setup cost of roller be obtained which is printing m/c is high difficult to get in block printing. 18. STENCIL PRINTING• It is one of the oldest way of printing.• In it color is applied to the fabric by brushing or spraying the interstices of a pattern cut out from a flat sheet of metal or waterproof paper or plastic sheet or laminated sheet.• A stencil is prepared by cutting out a design from a flat sheet of paper, metal, or plastic. 19. A simple stencil design 20. Example of stencil printing 21. STENCIL PRINTING• ADVANTAGES • DISADVANTAGES1. Simple and cost 1. Good design is effective. difficult to obtain.2. Stencils can be 2. Process is laborious. made rapidly and 3. Not suitable for large can be used for scale production. small orders.3. Color combination is good in it. 22. SCREEN PRINTING• It involves the application of the printing paste through a fine screen placed in contact with the fabric to be printed.• A design is created in reverse on the screen by blocking areas of the screen with a material such as an opaque paint.• The screen is then placed over the fabric and the printing paste is forced through the open areas of the screen using a flexible synthetic rubber or steel blade known as a squeegee. 23.

25. FLAT-SCREEN PRINTING• It is the advanced version of screen printing by using automatic m/c to do work• It consists of printing table, conveyor belt, number of screens, mechanism to print on the fabric, etc.• First the fabric is brought on the printing table through a feeding arrangement and it is gummed to the conveyor belt on the table 26. • Conveyor brings fabric periodically under screen and stops while the screen are lowered on the required parts of the fabric.• Printing paste is distributed throughout the full length of the screen.• The squeeze is pressed to the screen .• One or more strokes of the squeeze ensure simultaneous printing of the pattern by the common action of all screens which applies printing paste as required by the color in the design. 27. FLAT-SCREEN PRINTING M/C 28. FLAT SCREEN PRINTING• ADVANTAGES • DISADVANTAGES1. Greater production 1. A big setup required than manual screen for more number of printing screens2. Printing with different 2. Prints with more repeat can be made colors may not be easily possible3. Good print is 3. Printing paste not obtained evenly controlled 29. ROTARY SCREEN PRINTING• Rotary screen printing involves a series of revolving metal cylinder , each with revolving screens, each with a stationary squeegee inside which forces the print paste onto the fabric.• Twenty or more colours can be printed at the same time.• The process is much quicker and more efficient than flat screen printing . 30. Working of rotary screen printing m/c 31. A rotary screen printing m/c 32. Feeding of color to rollers 33. TRANSFER PRINTING• It is a indirect method of printing in which dyes are transferred from paper to a thermoplastic fabric under controlled conditions of temperature, time and pressure.• The image is first engraved on a copper plate.• Then pigment is applied on these plates.• The image is then transferred to a piece of paper, with a layer of glue applied .• This is then placed on the fabric and heat and pressure applied which fixes the print onto fabric. 34. Process of transfer printing 35. TRANSFER PRINTING• ADVANTAGES • DISADVANTAGES1. Operation is simple 1. Process applicable and no expensive to synthetic fabric m/c is required. like polyester .2. No after treatment of 2. Color range is fabric required limited.3. Print on fabric is of 3. Cost of printed excellent quality paper high. 4. Not economical for small orders.

BATIK PRINTING• Originated on island of Java and is a cottage based industry.• Batik is derived from word “AMBATIK”• The resist-dyeing process, whereby designs are made with wax on a fabric which is subsequently immersed in a dye to absorb the color on the unwaxed portions, is known as batik printing.• Special feature is the fine lines of color running irregularly across the fabric. 38. BATIK PRINTING• ADVANTAGES • DISADVANTAGES• Gives a good artistic • Laborious effect • Time taking• Cheap printing • Cracking effect• Greater artistic • Dye should be design applied at low• Fabric has a rich temperature than and graceful wax. appearance 39. TIE & DYE• It is same as that of batik printing but here the dye is resisted by knots that are tied in the cloth before it is immersed in dye bath.• The outside of the knotted portion is dyed, but inside is not penetrated if the knot is firmly tied.• This gives a characteristic blurred or mottled effect . 40. TIE & DYE• ADVANTAGE • DISADVANTAGE• Interesting design • Costly created on fabric • Laborious• No m/c cost is there • Time taking • Skilled labour required 41.
