★This work covers the complete process of making fashion prints, from design of the prints to the final product on a garment. So the book is divided into two major sections, one devoted to the creative process having to do with printing and the other focused more on the technical aspect.
★The part having to do with the creative process includes the initial concept and the development of the ideas that will subsequently take shape in the form of prints. This section basically involves the contributions of the designer or group of creative minds participating in the project. Methods and tools are described that lead to the final results of a work that is the fruit of inspiration.
★In the part dealing with the technical process the various systems for producing prints are described, from the most traditional to the most advanced. All the elements that go into presenting the design to the customer are shown (specifications, size of the print, color charts or Pantone colors, etc.), along with the different finishing techniques (embroidery, flocking, devoré technique, etc.) and methods of textile design using threads and different dyes or textures.

The work explains how in the last part of the printing process the designs are applied to the different garments taking into account aspects such as:
·The raw material through identification of the different types of textile fibers and how they influence the final results of the printing.
·Coloring, through display of the different chemical processes and the different effects they produce.
·Silk screen printing. A frequently used system of transferring.
·Digital printing, as one of the techniques that can reproduce any effect, from classic to photographic printing.

The last part of the book is a sort of gallery of different types of prints classified by themes in accordance with the latest trends in fashion.

Fashion designers who are interested in getting to know more about the world of textile printing, along with professionals in the field interested in obtaining a complete overview of the entire printing process and learning about the latest trends and technical processes. The book does not assume knowledge of any part of the process and thus provides a complete, overall vision that can be understood by anyone who wants to learn about this aspect of design.

The original feature of this title – and its goal – is to serve as a basic manual for those who wish to get into the world of textile design. Hence the importance of offering a step by step summary of the entire process of design, development and final product, paying close attention to each of the essential phases involved in obtaining the different types of prints.
