characteristics of printed fabric The key to the creative skill of colored printed fabric is engraving. Every grass and leaf on colored printed fabric needs to be gouged out bit by bit on the cowhide with the outline of the pattern drawn in advance.

The printing and dyeing technology of Tongxiang blue printed cloth inherits the ancient printing technology of block printing, and there are four main technological processes: first, design the required pattern, draw the pattern on a special paper plate, and carve it into a transparent pattern with a carving knife.

secondly, spread the hollowed-out pattern on the cloth to be dyed, and scrape the dye-proof slurry of lime and soybean powder into the gap of the pattern with a scraper to make the slurry leak on the cloth surface.

Next, dry the cloth with the dye-proof slurry ash and put it in an indigo dye vat for dyeing.

finally, take the dyed cloth out of the dyeing vat, squeeze out the water and dry it in the sun, scrape off the pulp ash after drying, and finish it to get the product.

printed fabric has developed from single-sided printing to double-sided printing, from monochrome to multi-color, from small cloth to wide cloth, from homespun to refined cotton, cotton-linen blended fabric, silk and so on.

There are more and more varieties of colors, such as blue printed door curtains, wall hangings, tablecloths, shoes and hats, handbags, toys and other handicrafts, especially blue printed cloth fashion, which has become a beautiful landscape in the city.

The color matching of printed fabric is also a question of a university. There are dozens of colors in color matching, color transition and contrast between light and dark. Colored printed fabric has the saying of "seven reds, eight greens and twelve blues", which shows that there are many and complicated color matching types. Only when the colors are well matched, the whole picture can be colorful, bright, eye-catching, hierarchical, harmonious and natural.
