Block Print Saree Manufacturer in Jaipur, If you’ve ever seen or purchased a saree with a sanganeri print, you’ll know how appealing and fun the designs are. Have you ever considered how much time and skill goes into creating a sanganeri print saree? The method of creating these sarees is both interesting and intriguing.
We, as manufacturers of sanganeri print sarees, have attempted to clarify our saree-making operation. The measures in the procedure are as follows:
Washing
We begin by washing the cloth to remove any dust or starch, which is necessary in order to achieve the best printing results. For 1-2 days, the cloth is soaked in a solution of water and bleach. The cloth is then boiled and washed before being dried. This section usually takes 3-6 days, depending on weather conditions, and we all know how severe Rajasthan’s weather can be.
Marking and Printing
The fabric is first laid out on a table and pinned to it, after which the print areas are labelled. We also draw lines around the places where the stitches and cuts will be made. Often calculated and labelled is the distance between the two prints.
We use both wooden and metal blocks for printing. Only wooden blocks were used in printing at first because metal blocks allowed for more precise printing, They are commonly used and are more expensive than wooden blocks due to their intricate and delicate print. After dipping the block in the colour, the printer stamps it on the cloth. The printer uses his fist to press down hard on the handle to ensure that the colour of the prints is consistent. The number of blocks in a saree is determined by the number of colours used. First, the outer border is printed and then the inner designs are printed. For sarees, we print the pallu first and then the borders. This process is usually called chapaai.
Traditional vs Modern saree designs
In designing our sarees, we tried to combine both traditional and modern designs. We also make sarees out of various fabrics that can be worn for any occasion. Previously, these sarees were only available in white or beige, with prints in colours that were naturally available to printers, but now they are available in a wide range of colours.
Drying– The saree is left to dry in the sun after printing to ensure that the colour is set. We must treat the sarees with extreme caution, or the colours will spread to other parts of the room.
Washing– The washing of the sanganeri print saree is the final step in the process. These sarees are steam-pressed in special containers. This method uses a lot of water, and the saree is then dried in the sun again. The saree is then ironed to ensure that the colour is permanently set. This procedure also ensures that white fabrics do not have any pigment smudges on them; if they do, the smudges are washed away and the fabric becomes clear white.
