All about Fabric Printing

"Printing on fabrics has been enjoyed for centuries. Some of the earliest versions were made from carved wood blocks with dyes made from roots and minerals. Silk screening is a printing process in which ink is pushed through a screen and areas that resist the ink are embedded in it. Silk screening came from the need to automate the printing process for running yardage. Roller printing has the printing image engraved onto a tubular screen that has ink applied to it and then rolls continually over the fabric. The digital age brings all sorts of new possibilities to the world of printing with the ability to use any number of colors. The projects in this book take more of a hands-on approach, which always lead to one-of-a-kind results!"--Back cover.
