What is block printing what is origin and growth?

== == Block printing is the art of printing with a plate made by carving an image into a block of...well, something. You can use a potato, a block of wood, a sheet of linoleum...the possibilities are endless. They've found examples of block print from Mesopotamia that date to 3000 BC. One very important advantage of block printing is that it can be done without a press. As far as growth...the scrapbooking movement made this process really take off over the last few years. Scrapbookers LOVE rubber stamps, which are a form of block printing. I also consider flexography to be a form of block printing--its plates have raised, reversed images just like a printing woodblock does--and flexo is going great guns. And people still carve printing blocks as a form of artistic expression...so block is safe as a printing process.

What is the difference between screen printing and block printing?

Screen printing involves the use of stencils to transfer the design. Paint is applied to a frame stretched silk, or some other fabric that can be used for screen printing, and it penetrates the areas of the screen not blocked by the stencil. With this method you get consistent looking prints that are clean and can be done cheaply. Block printing involves carving a wood print block and pressing it sequentially along the length of the paper. This method creates a stamp that prints differently each time.
