The development of digital textile printing at the end of the
twentieth century has had a profound effect on the design,
creation, use and understanding of textiles. This new technology -
combined with advances in fabric and dye chemistry - has made it
possible to produce complex images on fabric comprising millions of
colours, quickly, inexpensively and in flexible quantities; a
revolution that has led to a rapid increase in demand, which is
predicted to rise still further. This book is the first to describe
the historical and cultural context from which digital textile
printing emerged, and to engage critically with the many issues
that it raises: the changing role of the designer in the creation
of printed textiles; the ways in which the design process is being
transformed by new technology; the relationships between producers,
clients and the textile industry; and the impact of digital
printing on the wider creative industries. At the core of this
study are two key questions: what constitutes authenticity in an
age when printed textiles are created through the combined agency
of the artist/designer and the computer? And how can this new
technology be put to work in a sustainable way during a period of
spiralling demand?
