Printing in multiple colors
Additional Image:
This close up of a section of the pattern provides a magnified view of the multi-color printed pattern. The white areas next to the blue printed lines reveal areas masked out with a sticky substance known as ‘ackey’ that resisted the printing of the sheet pattern resulting in small areas where no ink was applied.
