Printing on fabric can be traced far back into history, as far back as the ancient Egyptians in 5,000 BC who created a variety of patterns in a multitude of colors. In the 4th and 5th century AD the Greeks and the Romans both created many different beautiful works by printed images by hand onto cloth. The Japanese created wooden printing blocks and used them to add images to cloth along with stencils to create amazing patterns and works of art on their kimonos and curtains. The advent of the printing press in the 15th century by John Gütenburg changed the entire printing industry, both paper and fabric. This led to the widespread use of the printing press in the fabric industry as more fabrics became available and changes in the materials used to create the printing block as they moved from wooden blocks to copper block in the 18th century and then to copper rollers speeding up the entire process.

Today most fabric printing is done digitally as it allows for much faster printing speeds and far more complicated patterns and images. By using computers it is no longer necessary to sketch out the image on paper so that it can be transferred to the fabric. Instead the image can be created in one the various image creation programs directly on the computer and then transferred directly onto the fabrics allowing for high speed mass production or one of a kind printing at the same speed.
