Printing

Creation of designs on the surface of the fabric is called printing. There are many methods involved in printing various fabrics. Some methods add colour in the form of design on the surface, while some remove a background colour from the surface in the form of design. Simple to heavy machinery may be involved in the production of printed goods. Block, roller, screen etc are some of the methods used to a larger extent to print the goods. The recent digital printing on textiles has revolutionized the printing scenario in the industrial sector.
