The book concludes with a rich set of case studies to demonstrate ingenious and effective weave and design solutions. It provides a guide to converting traditional drafts to digital polychrome format, a design terminology and a weave glossary. Producing vibrant colors on fabric and paper, these printing inks are intermixable and can be thinned using water. The resulting ensemble of the loom and Jacquard machine is then called a Jacquard loom. Digital Jacquard Design examines the design process from end to end, progressing from visual analysis, sample analysis and weave-drafting methods, to figuring techniques and the selection and building of weaves. The Versatex Screen Printing Ink Set 1 by Jacquard includes 8 - 2.25 fluid ounce jars of semi-transparent printing inks. The Jacquard machine (French:) is a device fitted to a loom that simplifies the process of manufacturing textiles with such complex patterns as brocade, damask and matelass. Don’t be alarmed by the namethe only acid involved is the white vinegar or citric acid that you add to the dye bath. The book is an essential guide for all who create figured textiles with modern materials and tools, and provides the reader with a 'digital' key to access and employ the great textile traditions of the past. In addition to yarn, fiber and fabric dyeing, Jacquard Acid Dyes may also be used for direct painting or printing applications, using steam setting. It offers both aesthetic and technical training for students of figured weaving, covering the Jacquard medium in fantastic breadth and depth. Digital Jacquard Design presents a comprehensive introduction to the creation of weave patterning in the era of digitally piloted looms. In the past three decades, developments in loom technology and CAD systems have made it possible for a single individual to design and produce this most challenging class of textiles. ArahPaint4 - program for drawing images in repeat mainly intended for textile design (jacquard) - supports different X:Y aspect ratio - layers - unlimited undo - works fast with large images - seamless drawing in repeat - integrated image. After importing an image and finalizing your design, decide the type of jacquard you want to make. When you are only using one bed (single jersey), the backside will appear black. For centuries, the creation of Jacquard cloth required the collaborative efforts of teams of designers and technicians working on vastly complex equipment. A double jersey jacquard design will have a birdseye backing You can view both the front and back of your design in Pattern view.
