Digital Textile Printing

The development of digital textile printing at the end of the 20th century has had a profound effect on the design, creation, use and understanding of textiles. This new technology - combined with advances in fabric and dye chemistry - has made it possible to produce complex images on fabric comprising millions of colours, quickly, inexpensively and in flexible quantities; a revolution that has led to a rapid increase in demand, which is predicted to rise still further. This book describes the historical and cultural context from which digital textile printing emerged and engages critically with the many issues that it raises.
