Hand printing is a technique to print any design and shape of colors on cloth, paper and canvas etc. Mainly hand printing is used to print clothes. Various printing techniques have been developed including, direct printing, resist printing, and screen-printing.
Direct printing is more practiced where a bleached cotton or silk fabric is printed with the help of wooden blocks, with beautifully carved designs. But first the outline block is printed, after which the blocks for filling in the colors are to be utilized. If the background is to be a light color, the cloth is dyed after the printing has been completed. Normally, three to four colors are used. The use of wax makes the printing possible. |
