When part of our Re3 group was on a guided tour to the Weaving Mill area the others were on action at Tasapaino. Getting familiar with textile printing today in the area.

Tasapaino is a small company. It provides a printing service by making from the customer's request / need decor and clothing fabrics.

The colors used in printing are pigment colors. The design either their own or customers.

Tasapaino has also a shop and anyone can book an acitve session on printing there with their friends.

Here we start our work!

We are goint to print linen.



Here is made the sieves, that we are using printing the linens.

"Print on a face"

Back to work...The sieve is set on the linen, some color is added and the color is drawn few time through the sieve.



After it the sieve is taken off.

The linen is left to dry.

When the linen is dry, its possible to add another color to it.

After the use, the sieve has to be washed, so you can use it again.

It is important to get all the colors off.

For one group, 1-1,5 hour was spend in Tasapaino printing.
Come and see the place on 1.11.2014, when there is a open doors day.
