Printing the ethical way

Hi, Im just starting out with my own fair trade and organic cotton company in Australia. Im researching ethical manufacturers who can produce great graphic prints onto organic cotton without using all the harmful chemicals that is usually associated with graphic printing. Any leads or ideas would be so helpful. THanks Carlie (Indigo Bazaar)

Hello Carlie,

I know somebody in Greece who can do that, but i guess it is too far for you.

I am sure you will find somebody in Australia.

Good luck

Athena

I am based in India, here you can get mud resisit Indigo printing done, as well as traditional iron black and red and tan type colours. The traditionalc olours that are really enduring are only in a limited palette, unfortunatley.

Block print now is often done with pigment ink, the good thing about block print compared to screen print is it uses much less water- almost all the ink ends up bonded to the fabric.

it is also keeping tradition alive and prodeces more work for people than blockprint, something we really need in India.
