In relief printing, the printing areas are raised, which means that only the raised lines, gutters or surfaces of the printing plate are printed. The soft printing plate is very easy to use. It is a direct printing process, i.e. the printing plate transfers the ink directly onto the fabric. Therefore, the motif has to be its mirror image on the printing plate. Transparent watercolours are diluted with water and applied to the fabric with a wet brush. Water-based, saliva-resistant, washable to 40 °C, and soft to the touch. For light-coloured fabrics free of finishes and fabric conditioners (max. 20 % synthetic fibre). After drying, fix in the oven (150 °C/8 minutes), or iron for 3 minutes without steam. Stir paints before use and wash tools after use in water.

HOW IT WORKS:

1. Transfer your motif to the soft printing plate using a pencil and then cut it out with the cutting tool. The V-shaped cutter is good for fine lines, whereas the large flat cutter can be used to cut wide lines and large areas. NOTE: The motif has to be applied as a mirror image. This is especially important when working with letters. Make sure the cuts are not too deep to prevent the board from breaking up.

 

2. Take up ink with the foam roller and roll onto the printing plate. The raised motif needs to be completely covered with a thin layer of ink.

3. Position the printing plate on the fabric and press it down applying slight pressure. Carefully remove the plate from the fabric. When printing is complete, quickly clean the printing plate with water and allow it to dry.

4. After drying, fix the fabric in the oven (8 minutes / 150 °C) or iron without steam for 3 minutes. Use a sponge to thoroughly moisten the area on which the watercolour motif is to be painted. The wetter the fabric, the more the watercolour will keep flowing. Or use the brush to paint the watercolour onto the fabric. The wetter the brush, the more the paint will keep flowing. For drying and fixing, place the damp motif flat on baking paper and then in the oven (8 minutes / 150 °C) fixing, the fabric is washable up to 40 °C.

Screen Printing with Marabu TEXTIL PRINT

Screen printing is a method of printing that involves forcing the printing ink through a fi nely woven mesh onto the fabric using a squeegee. In the areas of the fabric where no ink is to be printed, according to the printed image, the openings of the mesh are made impermeable to ink. The motif is cut out and can then be reproduced. Paper stencilling is a particularly convenient method of working. All you need is a screen, a stencil, a cutter, some adhesive tape, a squeegee, and the printing ink TEXTIL PRINT.

Relief printing with Marabu TEXTIL PRINT

Relief printing is a printing process used to print motifs on fabrics without the need for a lot of equipment. Working with the rubber carving block is easy. The motif is cut into the plate and can then be reproduced. You will need a soft printing plate, a cutting tool, a foam roller, and the printing ink TEXTIL PRINT. After fixing, the printed motifs can be coloured with the watercolour paint TEXTIL AQUARELLE.
Removing finishes/pre-washing textiles

Before painting, new textiles have to be washed at least once without fabric conditioners. Fabric finishes and conditioners prevent the fibre from absorbing the paint. Colour fastness after fixing cannot be guaranteed in this case.Double-layer textiles

When painting double-layer textiles (T-shirts or pillow cases), always place a piece of cardboard between the fabric layers to prevent the paint from seeping through. This also makes painting on fabric easier, particularly for children.Washing painted textiles

Always wash painted textiles inside out and use a mild detergent. Never place a hot iron directly on the painted area. Iron either from the reverse or through a cloth.Painting T-shirts

When painting T-shirts, simply slide a piece of cardboard underneath the fabric to prevent the paint from seeping through the layers.

Printing with Marabu Textil Print

You can of course use a number of colours for printing, e.g. the background can have a different colour to the print motif. The printing plate can also be rollered with several colours. A single motif can be printed in different colours.

Work preparation for Marabu Textil Print:

Cover the work area thoroughly.
Place paper or film between the layers of fabric.
Stir the ink well before use.
The best results are achieved on 100% Cotton.
The fabric needs to be free of any finishes and conditioners.
Wash the fabric before use.
Clean work tools immediately after use.
Wash and iron printed fabrics inside out.
Cleaning the screen printing frame

It is best to clean the screen frame immediately after printing, as long as the TEXTIL PRINT paint has not dried. Clean the mesh with clean water and, if necessary, a mild detergent with a nail or toothbrush on both sides. It is best if the frame is then carefully dabbed dry with a lint-free cloth, so that the wood does not distort due to the moisture.
