Block printing

Block printing is one of the oldest printmaking methods used. When there was no printing press invented, the books were printed with big blocks. The blocks had the letters and the designs engraved on them, and they were dipped into the ink and then pressed on the material on which they had to leave the print. Block printing generally refers to the technique of using cut pieces of woods to get the prints imprinted on the fabrics or any other material.

Earlier, people used it for making full-length books but now as the printing press is available; this method is just famous for printing designs on the fabrics. The blocks are still engraved with beautiful designs, and they are dipped into the colors and then put directly on the fabric and trust me, it leaves beautiful prints on the fabric.
