The paper highlights that although one may take textile and paper printing for granted, it is obvious these techniques have helped to advance humankind into developing beautiful and enduring images through their application.

From the Paper:

"This print study will explain the historical and process orientated practices behind silk screening, roller printing and block printing. By analyzing how these printing techniques developed over the history of humankind, one can realize the various cultures that contributed to various aspects of design. By understanding how these forms were created, the explanation of their technique will be analyzed and described through the countries that forged innovations in the printing process. In early times, the humankind has sought many ways to help create prints that would create patterns on textiles or even natural fabrics created by tribes and civilizations. The first aspects of silk screening, which had become innovated have many various origins, but the Fiji Islands offers an example of how early peoples helped to create this process in its simplest forms."
