BLOCK PRINTING ON FABRIC
Crafted by Hand. Printed with Character.
MD Digital Fabric Printing provides professional block printing on fabric for custom textile requirements, combining traditional hand-printing character with carefully developed patterns and colour.
Suitable for selected fashion, designer, boutique, garment and textile projects requiring distinctive handcrafted print character.


THE BLOCK PRINTING CRAFT
Carved by Hand. Applied One Impression at a Time.
Block printing is a traditional textile printing process in which a carved printing block carries the design and transfers colour onto fabric through carefully placed individual impressions.
The block is repeatedly positioned across the textile to develop the intended motif or repeat, giving the finished fabric its distinctive handcrafted character.

The Design Begins with the Block.

Different blocks can work together to develop outlines, decorative details and colour areas within suitable textile designs.

The block carries the design that will be transferred onto the fabric.
02 — PRINTING SURFACE
Fine carved details influence the appearance and character of each impression.

THE BEAUTY OF HAND PRINTING
Character You Can See in Every Impression.
Hand block printing carries the visual character of a process created through individual hand-placed impressions rather than mechanical repetition.
Subtle variation in colour, placement and impression can contribute to the distinctive handcrafted appearance of the finished textile.
01 — VISIBLE TEXTURE
Real fabric texture remains an important part of the printed appearance.
02 — HAND-PLACED DETAIL
Each impression is individually positioned by the artisan.
03 — NATURAL VARIATION
Subtle differences between impressions can reflect the handcrafted process.
04 — DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER
The combination of textile, motif and hand printing creates a unique visual quality.
