In fact, we humans have recorded printing and dyeing of textiles for a long time, and these printing technologies have made an indelible contribution to modern printing technology. And the origins of many different modern printing techniques are also different, such as direct printing, anti dye printing, pad dyeing, and batik dyeing processes, which all originated in China; The invention of machine printing by the Scots in the 17th century brought fabric printing to modernization and also established the priority position of Western industrial countries in the field of modern fabric printing technology.

In the following centuries, textile printing made astonishing progress with the help of technological revolution. Especially in the past century, due to the continuous improvement of screen printing technology, the emergence of synthetic fibers and new dyes, and the rapid advancement of digital technology, fabric printing has entered the scientific realm from a workshop of craftsmanship, achieving unprecedented achievements.

The development of printing machines, such as flat screen printing machines, circular screen printing machines, laser screen printing machines, etc. Although circular screen printing has shown advantages and has greatly improved precision, flat screen printing will still not be eliminated. In fact, flat screen printing technology is receiving renewed attention due to the increasing trend of small batch printing. From an economic perspective, using flat screen printing is advantageous in this situation.

In the continuous development of future technology, various better screen making technologies and processes will inevitably emerge, and the prospects of the textile printing industry will be better.

其实在很早很早以前我们人类对于纺织品就有印染记载了，这些印花技术对现代的印花技术起到不可磨灭的贡献。并且现代很多不同的印花技术它的起源地也是不一样的，如直接印花、防染印花以及轧染、蜡染工艺都是起源于我国；苏格兰人在17世纪发明的机器印花把织物印花带入了现代化，并且也奠定了西方工业国在现代织物印花技术优先域内的优先先地位。

在那之后的几个世纪里，纺织品印花借助技术革命的动力，取得了令人惊叹的进步。尤其在刚刚过去的一个世纪里，由于筛网印花技术的不断完善、合成纤维和新型染料的相继问世以及数码技术的突飞猛进，使织物印花从技艺的作坊步入了科学的殿堂，取得的成就是前所未有的。

印花机的发展，如平网制网机、圆网制网机、激光制网机等，尽管圆网印花显示出对的优势，并且在精细度方面有了较大提高，但平网印花仍然不会被淘汰。事实上，平网印花技术正在重新得到重视，原因在于印花小批量的趋势正在日益增加，从经济的角度出发，在这种情况下，使用平网印花是有利的。

在未来科技技术不断的发展当中，一定会涌现出各种更加好的制网技术和工艺，纺织印花行业的前景一定会更好。
