Printing Styles
Discharge printing can also be defined as localized dyeing. Defined
as the application of dye or pigment in a different pattern on the fabric and
by subsequent after treatment of fixing the dye or pigment to get a particular
design. Sometimes a printed fabric can be identified by looking at the back
side of fabric where there is no design or color as face side. In cotton, dyes
like vat, reactive are used In manmade, dyes like disperse and cationic are used.
There are three basic printing styles to printing a color on a fabric. First
one is direct printing, second one is discharge screen printing and third one

Resist printing
• Bookings cannot be made by telephone – telephone enquiries can be made, but bookings must follow the simple procedure described above. A Bookings window needs to be agreed at least 3 days before the actual delivery. In this method bleached fabric are printed with a resist paste ( a resinous substance that cannot be penetrated when the fabric is immersed in a dye ).
• The dye will only affect only the parts that are not covered by the resist paste .
• After the fabric has passed through a subsequent dyeing process the resist paste is removed, leaving a pattern on a dark background
Discharge Screen Printing
•
In the method of discharge screen printing the fabric is dyed and then printed with a
chemical that will destroy the color in designed areas.
•
Sometimes the base color is removed and another
color printed in its place by discharge screen printing
