What is resist printing?

Resist printing is a technique used in textile printing where a resist substance is applied to the fabric in specific areas to prevent dye or ink from penetrating those areas during the printing process. This creates a pattern or design on the fabric where the resist has been applied. After the resist is applied, the fabric is then dyed or printed with color, and the resist is later removed to reveal the design. Resist printing can be done using various materials such as wax, starch, or chemicals that create a barrier between the fabric and the dye or ink.

Resist printing is a textile printing method that involves creating a design by selectively blocking the dye from reaching the fabric in certain areas. This is achieved by applying a resist agent to the fabric before dyeing, which prevents the dye from penetrating the treated areas. The resist agent can be applied in various ways, such as by screen printing, hand painting, or using a resist paste. Once the resist agent has been applied, the fabric is dyed, and the areas covered by the resist agent remain uncoloured, creating the desired design.
