Screen printing
would screen printing not be a good addition to the article?-Deepraj | Talk 13:24, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Rotary Screen printing is the dominant form of textile printing today, while digital inkjet technology is becoming an established application for product development and sampling as well as an emerging production solution for high end/niche markets, mass customization, and short runs. These are definitely key topics to include in the development of this content. March 17, 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kerrymking (talk • contribs) 20:52, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Cleanup
This article from the 1911 Britannica either needs to be cleaned up and expanded to include modern techniques (and research), or converted to a "history of textile printing". In either case, it needs a lot of linking and editing for tone. - PKM 00:58, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Starting
I've started the cleanup but there is lots to do. I've moved and reworked text from "Methods of printing" and "Styles of printing" to make an introduction. I've standardized on British spelling (that had been partially done).

Remaining to do:
 * Pull out long digressive sections into their own articles and leave a summary and cross-reference here
 * Add techniques invented in the last 100 years
 * Watch for "presently" and similar wording from the 1911 EB
 * Tighten up the text; I think we can lose about a third of the bulk by removing Edwardian phrasing and POV
 * Tighten or remove "how-to" content
 * Add images - I have some of roller-printing, need to scan them
 * Watch for scattered minor vandalism - I've found some already

Please help where you can! - PKM (talk) 20:09, 22 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I've done a first pass at pulling out a new article Woodblock printing on textiles and leaving a digest here. Need to do the same for Roller printing on textiles. - PKM (talk) 04:45, 23 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Something missing at the start of para 2 of origins. Johnbod (talk) 05:06, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Found and restored, thanks. There are also some OCR artifacts in here ("arid" for "and"). - PKM (talk) 20:21, 23 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Pulled out "Engraving of copper rollers" and large parts of "Roller printing" to make a new article Roller printing on textiles. - PKM (talk) 20:21, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Continuing
Perrotine printing is a new article Weeded the lead slightly Reorganising the structure- ... -- Clem Rutter (talk) 13:30, 10 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I am leaving it there in a state where it is a poor article but structured for rapid improvement: I don't have the reference books to take it any further. -- Clem Rutter (talk) 16:51, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Discharge printing
The article is real short on information on this method. Discharge printing is the only method the Nevada Gaming Commission allows for the surfaces of gaming tables so there's nothing to flake off and stick to cards, chips and dice or affect dice rolls.

TX inline comment
''Textile printing was introduced into England in 1676 by a French refugee who opened works, in that year, on the banks of the Thames near Richmond. Curiously enough this is the first print-works on record;'' [ This is an old story from a reference in the late 1800s but it has never been proven and is generally not believed to be the case any more. There are no French names on the list of fabric printers and dyers at that time. Later a few French Huguenots arrived but that was after the British had a flourishing calico printing industry established. ] but the nationality and political status of its founder are sufficient to prove that printing was previously carried on in France. In Germany, too, textile printing was in all probability well established before it spread to England, for, towards the end of the 17th century, the district of Augsburg was celebrated for its printed linens, a reputation not likely to have been built up had the industry been introduced later than 1676.

Seems worth preserving-- Clem Rutter (talk) 13:25, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
