Popular Textile Printing in India
The vibrant life of Indians also reflect on its textile. On the tour to India one cannot ignore the charm of colourful prints, which have been stealing the heart of Indian women for centuries and now grabbing the attention of the entire world. India is the land of diversities and is the home of an astounding variety of traditional art and craft. This art has been passed on from one generation to the other. Century old skills continue to produce some of the artistic work which are admired and collected by the tourists from all over the world.
Each region has different styles and methods of printing which specify that particular region. There is the direct style of printing which is done by white coloured background by any method. In discharge style of printing, the print is created by removing the colour from the dyed material. When the colur is removed and the print is created by the colour, the printing is done. Another one is resist style of printing, in this the colour resistant material is used for the printing. First, the color resistant material is applied on the fabric and then the fabric is dyed then the color resistant material is removed and the material which is not dyed is filled with different colors. Mud and wax are being used as color resistant materials.
Block Hand printing is quite popular in Rajasthan. It is the traditional technique of tie and dye and it is used for the decorative values of textiles. There is one more printing called the block printing, in this first of all the wooden block is developed and than with the help ofink, the duplicate is produced by the craftsmen. In the ink jet printing, ink drops are used which are actually dye liquids. The prink is created by the small ink drops on the intended image. In spray printing the colour is sprayed with the force from gun on screen and electro coating is used. Another most famous is the tie and dye which includes tying of both wrap and weft threads. Batik is a dyeing process in which first, color resistant material is applied on the fabric and then the fabric is dyed. After dyeing, the color resistant substance is removed. So the fabric attains its original color at those places.
The main centers for traditional printing in India includes – Bhuj, Jamnagar and Ahmedabad in Gujrat, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Ajmer, Bagru , Barmar in Rajasthan, Indore, Bagh, Ratlam, Gwalior, Mandsore, Neemach and Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh, Varansi, Lucknow, Farukhabad, Kasipur, Kannuaj, Kanpur, Mathura, Mirzapur and Fatehpur in Uttar Pradesh, Nasik, Nagpur, Khandesh and Mumbai in Maharasthra, Bangalore, Manglore and some parts of north in Karnataka, Vijaywada, Chirala, Machalipattanam and Srikalahasti in Andhra Pradesh, Kumbarnam, Tanjore, Tuni, Kodalikaruppur and Chennai in Tamil Nadu, Sreerampur, Murshidabad and Kolkata in west Bengal, Bastar in chattisgarh.

What can be used as a medium for color when doing wood block printing?
This is a question that is specifically for anyone who has done or who does wood block printing. Acrylic paint...oil paint...house paint...ink....powdered pigment....?
I always use block printing ink, either speedball brand or the generic dick blick equivalent. This would give you the best results but you could probably use any kind of paint with varying degrees of success, I doubt your ordinary ink would be thick enough though.
