Wax rotary printing combines the wax-resist technique with rotary screen printing, utilizing a cylindrical roller to apply ink. The process involves coating certain areas with wax, which acts as a resist to block the ink during printing.
Process
Wax Application: Wax is applied in patterns to create the resist areas.
Ink Printing: Ink is transferred using a rotary screen, with the wax-covered areas resisting the ink.
Wax Removal: After drying, the wax is melted off, revealing the design.
Advantages
Produces intricate, high-contrast patterns.
Efficient for continuous production, making it suitable for large-scale wallpaper and fabric printing.
Creates unique textures and vibrant designs.
