The earliest known Textile designs were painted by hand and antedate woven patterns by many centuries. Today, various methods of pattern printing are used.
Direct printing. For this type of printing the color is applied directly to the cloth. It can be done by hand with pen or brush, or with wooden blocks, each of which prints one color and a certain section of the design. This system is known as bloc/sprinting. When copper-plate printing was originated, it was considered quite efficient, but was soon superseded by roller printing. At first the rollers carried only the outline of the design, which was later filled in with the necessary colors. Designs are now etched on copper rollers, one roller for each color and for a certain section of the pattern. The last roller prints the background color. Some fabrics are printed on the warp threads only. These are known as warp or shadow prints, and the design has a mottled or faded appearance.See Also Urban Office Architecture:Urban Office Architecture : Carlo Enzo Frugiuele and Massimo Marinelli
