Block printing is a method where the pattern was cut into wooden blocks, or was built through an assembly of metal stripes, nails and so on. The print paste is applied to the design surface on the block and the block then pressed against the fabric. The process is repeated with different designs and colors until the pattern is complete. The block printing is used from time immemorial and is still being practiced in all Asian countries as it can be done even at homes by the people in their free time. Block printing is a slow and laborious process and is not suitable for high volume commercial use. This printing method is used only at small scale or in cottage industry and is not used at industrial scale because of less flexibility and productivity. #textile | #cloth | #fabric | #cloths | #clothes | #block Printing | #roller Printing | #screen Printing | #flat Screen Printing | #rotary Screen Printing | #transfer Printing | #ink-Jet Printing | #carpet Printing #jet spray printing | #warp Printing | #resist Printing | #electrostatic Printing | #photographic Printing | #photo Printing | #pigment Printing | #blotch Printing | #non-fabric printing | #burn-Out Printing | #flock printing | #direct Printing | #discharge Printing | #duplex Printing | #stencil printing | #two-phase printing | #special printing methods | #space dyeing | #kalamkari | #batik printing
