Computerization has taken fabric printing to new levels, allowing for more designs, more colors, and softer fabrics, all at a lower cost. This program explores technological advances in printing and dyeing, giving viewers a detailed look at flatbed, carousel, roller-screen, and transfer methods of producing patterns on cloth. Digital color matching, use of an atmospheric jet machine for batch dyeing of fabric, quality control to test for shrinkage and colorfastness, and environmentally sound practices to dispose of dyeing products are all covered. Part of the series Get Into Textiles.
