Abstract
Textile printing is the process of applying ink to textile surfaces using specialized printing processes and
machines. The most direct printing techniques used are discussed. Block printing is one of the ancient art forms in
India that has been passed down through generations. Flat and rotary screen printing which are capable of extremely
high rates of production due to their adaptability. Burn out printing which gives us distinguished designs and Digital
printing which is one of the most exciting advances in the manufacturing and textile sectors. Indirect printing such
as resist printing and discharge printing which attracts attention as its pattern appear with diverse colours on a dark
background. The variety of designs that can be created using the discharge printing technique polluted the
environment due to the toxic reducing and oxidizing agent used so they have been substituted with eco-friendly
enzymes.
