[edit] Screen printing

would screen printing not be a good addition to the article?-Deepraj | Talk 13:24, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes! - PKM 00:51, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Rotary Screen printing is the dominant form of textile printing today, while digital inkjet technology is becoming an established application for product development and sampling as well as an emerging production solution for high end/niche markets, mass customization, and short runs. These are definitely key topics to include in the development of this content. March 17, 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kerrymking (talk • contribs) 20:52, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

This article from the 1911 Britannica either needs to be cleaned up and expanded to include modern techniques (and research), or converted to a "history of textile printing". In either case, it needs a lot of linking and editing for tone. - PKM 00:58, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Starting

I've started the cleanup but there is lots to do. I've moved and reworked text from "Methods of printing" and "Styles of printing" to make an introduction. I've standardized on British spelling (that had been partially done).

Remaining to do:

• Pull out long digressive sections into their own articles and leave a summary and cross-reference here
• Add techniques invented in the last 100 years
• Watch for "presently" and similar wording from the 1911 EB
• Tighten up the text; I think we can lose about a third of the bulk by removing Edwardian phrasing and POV
• Tighten or remove "how-to" content
• Add images - I have some of roller-printing, need to scan them
• Watch for scattered minor vandalism - I've found some already

Please help where you can! - PKM (talk) 20:09, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I've done a first pass at pulling out a new article Woodblock printing on textiles and leaving a digest here. Need to do the same for Roller printing on textiles. - PKM (talk) 04:45, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Something missing at the start of para 2 of origins. Johnbod (talk) 05:06, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Found and restored, thanks. There are also some OCR artifacts in here ("arid" for "and"). - PKM (talk) 20:21, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Pulled out "Engraving of copper rollers" and large parts of "Roller printing" to make a new article Roller printing on textiles. - PKM (talk) 20:21, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
