ABSTRACT
The process of creating images or patterns as a part of the structural makeup of the textile. Different colors of string, thread, or yarn are arranged and woven as a part of the process of manufacturing the textile. The process of printing textiles digitally can be accomplished through two different means of image transfer via a printer. The most common form of textile printing, dye sublimation printers work through a process of sublimation, which is the process of a solid becoming a gas without passing through a liquid stage. A wide array of polyester blends makes it possible to achieve a similar “look” to natural fiber textiles, while achieving a vibrant print which is colorfast. Naturally occurring cellulose in trees undergoes significant chemical processing before being turned into textiles. There are many distinct ways to create the own custom textile print, and the beauty of 21st-century technology is that many of these can be replicated in digital textile form.
