The process principle of printed cloth is to print the color paste of water-soluble reactive dyes into transfer printing paper, then closely combine the fabric pretreatment with the transfer printing paper, and apply a certain pressure to dissolve the color paste on the transfer printing paper. Under a certain pressure, because the affinity of the dye to the fabric is greater than that of the transfer paper, the dye is transferred to the fabric and enters the fabric gap to form the finished product after color fixing and washing.

Among the printed fabrics, blue printed fabric is the most famous. It is a traditional fabric printing and dyeing handicraft in China. The whole printing and dyeing process of blue printed cloth adopts manual operation. In the clear blue and white pattern, there are dry and cracked ice patterns.

The key to the creative skills of color printed cloth is plate engraving. Every grass and leaf on the color printed cloth needs to be gouged out bit by bit on the cow leather with the pattern outline drawn in advance.

The printing and dyeing technology of Tongxiang blue printed cloth inherits the ancient engraving, scraping and anti dyeing printing technology. The main process flow is as follows: first, design the required pattern, draw the pattern on a special paper plate, and carve it into an empty pattern according to the pattern with a carving knife. Secondly, lay the hollowed out pattern on the cloth to be dyed, and scrape the anti dyeing slurry synthesized by lime and soybean powder into the gap of the pattern with a scraper to make the slurry leak on the cloth surface. Then, dry the cloth that has been coated with anti dyeing slurry and ash, and put it into the indigo dyeing cylinder for dyeing. Finally, take out the dyed cloth from the dye vat, squeeze out the water for drying, scrape off the pulp ash after drying, and then form the product after finishing.

Printed fabric has developed from single-sided printing to double-sided printing, from monochrome to multi-color, from small cloth to wide cloth, from native cloth to refined cotton, cotton linen blend, silk, etc. The variety of designs and colors is also increasing day by day. There are a variety of handicrafts such as blue printed door curtain, wall hanging, tablecloth, shoes and hats, bags, toys and so on, especially blue printed cloth fashion, which has become a beautiful scenery in the city.

The color printed cloth has the saying of "seven red, eight green and twelve blue". It can be seen that there are many and complex color matching types. Only if the color matching is good, the whole picture can be colorful, bright and dazzling, clear hierarchy, harmonious and natural.
