Textile printing is design and production of patterned textiles, and is based on the exact sciences of physics, chemistry and mechanics, it is a process of unifying creative ideas (designs), colors/dyes (one or more) and textile materials, using dyeing techniques on textile materials but in the given contours of the pattern and with high precision. In textile printing, the interaction between dye or pigment and textile substrate is so complex that even the slightest change in the physical, mechanical, structural or raw material characteristics can lead to significant changes in colour reproduction and print quality, textile printing requires knowledge and skills from several fields (textile technology, rheology, chemistry, physics, mechanical engineering), but also the ability of wider approach and understanding of artistic, aesthetic and creative components of textile printing, The difference between dyeing and printing is that instead of uniformed coloring of the whole surface of the substrate in case of dying process, by printing, a colour is applied only to the target areas, thus introducing various colors, patterns, and designs to the textile fabrics, screen printing machine, smart fabrics, automotive fabric, special effects graphic printing, sportswear, decoration fabric, camouflage uniforms, etc. Using screen printed paste inks the necessary, conductive, resistive, and electroluminescent inks were applied to the fabric.
