Cotton Ground & AZO-Free Block Print
Hand-block printed on a cotton ground at the Jaipur print table. The supplier’s brief states certified AZO-free dyes worked with a water-based binder, so the colour sits into the cloth rather than on a synthetic film.
- Fabric
- 100% Cotton Canopy, Metal Stand
- Technique
- Hand Block Print (code 0720/#02)
Print is struck by hand: expect small register shifts between repeats, which is the signature of the block table rather than a defect.

The Block-Print Table Process
Printed to order on the supplier’s table, in this sequence:
- Design & Block Cut, The repeat is drawn and mounted into hand blocks; a new design can be cut to your brief.
- Table Print, Each colour is struck by hand in register on the cotton ground, using AZO-free dye with a water-based binder.
- Dry & Cure, The printed length is dried and cured so the palette sets before the piece is made up.
- Make-Up, Panels are cut and finished, piped, quilted, lined or zipped according to the article.
Range and batch: The garden umbrella brief carries 26 designs coded 0720/#01 onward.

- Left to the brief: price, lead time and packing, which the sheet does not state
Customisation: Customised in any design and any size.
This is a terms snapshot for the reference, not a product certification. Test reports, material declarations and packing specifications are issued with the quotation.
What varies piece to piece
Repeats are aligned by eye at the table, so the position of a motif inside a cut panel changes piece to piece. Pieces are matched by scale and tone at packing, not printed to a machine register.
- Register Drift, Hand-struck blocks move a millimetre or two across a run.
- Dye Depth, AZO-free lots vary slightly in saturation between baths.
- Edge Finish, Piping, hems and seams are finished by hand.
Photographs show one piece from the lot; colour and register vary between lots.
