Block foil printing is producing gold (silver) foil printing on a piece of wood.
Both screen printing and block printing are traditional printing techniques that involve transferring ink onto a surface through a stencil or a block. They both allow for the reproduction of designs on various materials like paper, fabric, and wood. Additionally, both techniques require the use of specific tools and materials to create prints.
Printing images
Block printing is important as it allows for mass production of images or text by transferring ink onto paper or fabric using a carved block. It played a significant role in the spread of information, art, and culture throughout history. Block printing also paved the way for the development of modern printing techniques.
it starts on the t'ang dynasty in china...this printing is called as "block printing".
The printing block was invented in China around the 9th century during the Tang Dynasty. This early form of printing involved carving characters into wood blocks for reproduction.
The different types of block printing include relief printing, where the design is carved into a block and then inked to transfer the design onto the substrate; intaglio printing, where the design is incised or etched into the block; and screen printing, where a stencil is used to transfer the design through a screen onto the substrate.

== == 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.
