BATIK PRINTING
DIFFERENT TYPES OF BLOCKS
SCREEN
PRINTING
Screen printing is the process of pressing ink through a stenciled mesh
screen to create a printed design. It’s a popular technique used in a whole
range of different industries.
It is an effective technique for creating bold canvases , posters and
artwork, but the method can also be used to print fabrics and textiles, so
it's great for creating all sorts of custom clothing and products.
Screen printing is the process of transferring a stenciled design onto a flat
surface using a mesh screen, ink and a squeegee. Fabric and paper are the
most commonly screen-printed surfaces, but with specialized inks it’s also
possible to print onto wood, metal, plastic, and even glass.
The basic method involves creating a stencil on a fine mesh screen, and
then pushing ink (or paint, in the case of artwork and posters) through to
create an imprint of our design on the surface beneath.
The process is sometimes called 'silk screening' or 'silk screen printing'
and while the actual printing process is always fairly similar, the way the
stencil is created can vary, depending on the materials used.
SCREEN PRINTING
PROCESS
STEP 1: THE DESIGN and SCREEN IS CREATED
To start, the printer takes the design they want to create on the
finished product, and prints it out onto a transparent acetate film.
This will be used to create the stencil. Next, the printer will
choose a mesh screen to suit the complexity of the design, and
the texture of the fabric being printed. The mesh screen is then
coated with a layer of light -reactive emulsion, which will harden
when developed under bright light.
The squeegee
A squeegee is a rubber blade attached to a long wooden, metal or
plastic handle. It’s used to push the ink through the mesh screen and
onto t he surface being printed. The printer will usually pick a
squeegee that is a similar size to the frame of the screen, as this will
give better coverage. A firmer rubber blade is better for printing
intricate designs with lots of detail, as it ensures all the nooks in the
stencil receive an even layer of ink. A softer, more yielding rubber
squeegee is often used when printing less detailed designs, or when
printing onto fabric.
TRAY AND TROLLEY FOR SCREEN FRAME
A screen drying rack is a great way to store screens during the
screen printing process. Screen drying racks are used not only
to dry screens in a darkroom but also to store screens in
production areas and to transport screens from the darkroom to
production.
This unique rack holds 20 20" x 24" OR 23" x 31" screens.
The slot spacing is also deep enough to hold thicker roller
frame bars which many other screen racks cannot.
The washing station
The screens need to be washed to remove all traces of emulsion
after use, so they can be reused again for future prints. Some
larger print works may use large tubs of special cleaning fluid or
acid to remove the emulsion, while other printers simply use a
water trough or sink to clean their screens.
FEATURES
It yields very low production.
The cost of set-up is very less.
Very skilled personnel is required to do such printing.
The variety of designs is dictated by the skill of the wood worker who
carves those designs.
Cost of making design is very less.
BLOCK PRINTING
PROCESS
Step 1: First, the fabric to be printed is washed free of starch
(size material) and soft bleached. If dyeing is required (as in
the case of saris where borders or the body is dyed) it is done
before printing. The fabric is again washed to remove excess
dye and dried thoroughly.
Step 5: The printing starts from left to right. The color is evened
out in the tray with a wedge of wood and the block dipped into
the outline color (usually black or a dark color)
It is a process of using melted wax as a resist on fabric. The wax may be painted
on a white or coloured fabric using a canting or brush or it may be stamped onto
the fabric using a copper stamp dipped in melted wax. The fabric is then dyed, and
the areas that have been waxed will not be penetrable by the dye.
THE MAIN MATERIALS AND
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR BATIK
Fabrics
Wax
Binder resin
A metal bowl(metal pot)
Tools
Colors
Fabric is an essential batik material. Fabrics made from natural fibres are often use for this
purpose. The dye is easily absorbed into these fabrics. Cotton, Silk, Linen, and Wool are
mainly used as fibres.
Several types of wax are used for batiks. Of these, Beeswax and Paraffin wax are the most
commonly used.
Rosin is brittle at room temperature but it melts at high temperatures. Binder resin also a
material used in making wax mixture. This melts when it melts and acts as a binder to the
wax mixture.
Metal pot is used to melt the wax. we can even use an electric frying pan for this. This
process should be done very carefully, and the wax should be overheated as it may cause a
fire.
CANTING
TOOLS
Batik
pens
Batik Pen melts candles, crayons, batik wax, and paraffin to form a
controlled thin or thin line. When the tool is placing at an angle, there are no
drops of melted wax. Its heats up quickly and maintains an even more
melting temperature.
Tjanting
Tool
Tjanting (or canting) is a beautiful Javanese tool for applying wax
to fabrics when making batik. They have a long handle and a
copper or brass pot that holds out molten wax. Tjantings can tricky
to use at first. It is a small cup-shaped tool with a handle set at right
angles to the foot on one side and a nice spiral arrangement on the
other.
Brushes for
Batiks
Most batikers are unable to get a tan, and if they can, they prefer to brush their
wax completely. Properly cut and sized brushes will give the employee very
satisfying results. Wax brush
Melting skillet
Electric Melting skillet to melt the batik wax and keep it hot. Batik wax is
extremely flammable and should not be heated directly on a stove. we can
insulate a regular pot in an inch of water in a larger pot. To remove the batik
wax, you will also need a large pot or cauldron in which your calico fabric
will easily fit.
LINOLEUM BLOCK
PRINT
Linoleum block print, is a printmaking technique, a variant of woodcut in
which a sheet of linoleum (sometimes mounted on a wooden block) is used
for a relief surface. A design is cut into the linoleum surface with a sharp
knife, V-shaped chisel or gouge, with the raised (uncarved) areas
representing a reversal (mirror image) of the parts to show printed.
linoleum block print is a type of relief print where we carve into a block of
linoleum and take a print from the inked surface of the block.
PROCESS OF PRINTMAKING USING
LINOLEUM BLOCK
STEP - MATERIALS AND TOOLS REQUIRED
1
• Pen, marker, pencil,
colored pencil
• Linoleum block
• Paper
• Transfer paper
• Bench hook
• Lino Handle/lino cutters
• Printer’s ink (Oil Based)
• Brayer (ink roller)
• Tape
• Scissors
• Electric blanket and towel
• Spoon (or a Baren)
• Glass surface (plate or
baking pan will do)
STEP - DRAW A DESIGN
2
Draw out our design. Be sure to make the drawing the same size as our
linoleum block, so that we don’t have to mess with resizing the picture and
printing it before you begin to transfer.
To be sure that the transfer paper does not slip, take the transfer paper and
tape it to the linoleum block. Be sure to cover the entire block with transfer
paper, if we don’t, some of your design will not transfer to the block.
STEP - 4 CARVING THE LINOLEUM BLOCK
To secure the block so that it does not slip or slide, use a bench hook
Start by using a V shaped tool, a smaller, fine tipped tool
To remove more of the linoleum for bigger lines or larger areas of block, use a U
shaped tool, much like the V shaped tool, but the blade is a bit wider and flatter.
Use a flat chisel to remove large amounts of linoleum.
STEP - 5 PRINTING
To print we will need:
• Printer’s Ink (NOTE: Oil ink is permanent, so be sure to wear clothes
you don’t mind getting dirty and consider wearing rubber gloves to
keep your hands clean.)• Carved block • Ink roller (brayer)
• Smooth surface (glass plate or glass baking pan)• Paper • Spoon
WOODEN BLOCK PRINTING
Wood
A drawing to cut from and a pencil
A "graver" or chisel for cutting
ink
A piece of glass for spreading ink onto
A roller for rolling out the ink on the glass and applying it to the wood
paper to print onto
A spoon (or equivalent) to rub down the print onto the paper
Put the handle of the graver in the palm of our hand and wrap our fingers around the
blade so the point feels like an extension of our index finger.
We Keep our hand in a fairly fixed position. When it comes to cutting we'll just move
it forward and backward as we need to, and move the wood beneath it with the other
hand to line up the cut.
