Photographic Prints

Photographic prints are produced in a manner very similar to that used in making photographs. The fabric is treated with a light-reactive solution. A negative is placed on the fabric, light is transmitted to it and the color is developed. After stabilization the fabric is thoroughly washed and the print is as permanent as any good photo. Either black and white or full color designs can be made.
