== == "Block Printing" or "Woodblock Printing" is a method used to print text, images or patterns on textiles and later paper. This method was widely used throughout East Asia and originating in China in antiquity. How it worked: Patterns and letters were carved into wooden blocks, so that the letter or pattern is chiseled and protrudes so to speak from the wooden block.
These blocks are then coated with Ink, and brought pressed firmly and evenly onto the paper or cloth. The content would print backwards (mirror-image).

What is block printing what is origin and growth?
== == Block printing is the art of printing with a plate made by carving an image into a block of...well, something. You can use a potato, a block of wood, a sheet of linoleum...the possibilities are endless. They've found examples of block print from Mesopotamia that date to 3000 BC. One very important advantage of block printing is that it can be done without a press. As far as growth...the scrapbooking movement made this process really take off over the last few years. Scrapbookers LOVE rubber stamps, which are a form of block printing. I also consider flexography to be a form of block printing--its plates have raised, reversed images just like a printing woodblock does--and flexo is going great guns. And people still carve printing blocks as a form of artistic expression...so block is safe as a printing process.
