Artisans dip the block into color and repeatedly stamp it onto a piece of fabric, with each color typically requiring a separate block and careful alignment to create intricate, traditional, and often nature-inspired designs. The block print technique that uses "rapid colors" involves applying both the design and the color to a light-colored fabric in a single, efficient step. Unlike traditional methods that require multiple stages of printing, drying, and washing for each color, the rapid color process significantly speeds up production. This method is a chemical process involving stabilized azoic dyestuffs, which offer bright, well-saturated colors. | ML148 |
