Abstract

Textile printing is the process of applying ink to textile surfaces using specialized printing processes and machines. This is a discussion of the most popular printing methods. One of India's traditional arts that has been passed down through the ages is block printing. Because of their versatility, flat and rotary screen printing may produce at incredibly high rates. The most exciting developments in the industrial and textile industries are digital printing and burnout printing, which both produce distinctive designs. Direct printing draws attention because its pattern appears with a variety of colors on a dark backdrop. Examples include resist printing and discharge printing. Because the poisonous reducing and oxidising agents employed in the discharge printing technology harmed the environment, they have been replaced with eco-friendly enzymes. This study demonstrates the use of several natural materials and methods to print cotton, including direct printing with natural dyes like Madder ink jet, resist printing with reactive dye and transfer printing of Cotton Fabrics.
