{"product_id":"9781472535689","title":"Digital Textile Printing (Textiles that Changed the World)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe development of digital textile printing at the end of the twentieth century has had a profound effect on the design, creation, use and understanding of textiles. This new technology - combined with advances in fabric and dye chemistry - has made it possible to produce complex images on fabric comprising millions of colours, quickly, inexpensively and in flexible quantities; a revolution that has led to a rapid increase in demand, which is predicted to rise still further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is the first to describe the historical and cultural context from which digital textile printing emerged, and to engage critically with the many issues that it raises: the changing role of the designer in the creation of printed textiles; the ways in which the design process is being transformed by new technology; the relationships between producers, clients and the textile industry; and the impact of digital printing on the wider creative industries. At the core of this study are two key questions: what constitutes authenticity in an age when printed textiles are created through the combined agency of the artist\/designer and the computer? And how can this new technology be put to work in a sustainable way during a period of spiralling demand?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48942916796651,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":274.68,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781472535689-1.jpg?v=1783108739","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/zh\/products\/9781472535689","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
