  The word “printing” is derived from the Latin word meaning “pressing” and implies the application of “pressure”. Textile printing is one branch of textile wet process  technology. The localized dyeing of textiles (e.g. to develop a colored pattern) is called printing. Unlike dyeing, printing designs or patterns are usually printed on only one side of the fabric. In a most simple approach, the dye containing paste is printed on the textile fabric and the dye is fixed at elevated temperature (e.g. through steaming, drying). Then the excess paste containing dye and thickener is removed by thorough washing.
