Cloth which expresses a three-dimensional effect through ruggedness and wrinkling is said to have originated in India, but it is also thought that it was spontaneously born in various parts of the world. In Japan, such precise techniques were developed that luxurious shibori-dyed belts and kimono became an epidemic of sartorial envy, to the point that items were controlled by sumptuary laws during the Edo period. In Arimatsu and Narumi alone, artisans have developed hundreds of distinct techniques.

However, fragments of cloth with simple expressions using the basic techniques of tie-dyeing have been excavated from ancient sites across the world, such as in Peru and Central Asia. The shibori which occurred and propagated throughout the world developed into various traditions of shibori dyeing each with their own customs, beliefs, prayers, and expressions representative of each culture.

This book surveys regions across South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific, showing how the tie-dyeing technique called "bandhani" or "laharia" which is said to be born in India is also associated with Indonesian islands such as Java, Bali, and Lombok, used to dye surendan (shawl, breastplate) and ceremonial cloth. Other highlighted regions include Pakistan, Cambodia, and the Philippines. In particular this book focuses on a unique original method of shibori found in Vanuatu in the South Pacific. In the Middle East and Central Asia, the book examines shibori traditions of Turkmenistan and Syria, woolen goods and felts in Mongolia and Tibet, and indigo-dyed cotton goods produced by ethnic minorities in China.

Across Africa, techniques of great interest which are practiced to this day include the use of raffia palm fiber to aid shibori on narrow handwoven cotton bands, and methods of sewing sticks, stones, leaves and the like on cloth to create a resist. These various techniques produce cloth of bold design. More than variation between nations, techniques and design can vary completely between ethnic groups as well.

In Japan, the book examines the uninterrupted tradition of shibori dating from ancient times and inspects its practice in the modern day.

In total, this book surveys the history and tradition of shibori in 24 countries across the world, not only gathering simple information on techniques, but drawing connections between the lives of people who practice shibori.

The Epson F170 has been ideal for getting started with sublimation. It's easy to use, prints vibrant and defined colors, and has allowed me to personalize various projects with excellent results. As a beginner, it has given me a lot of confidence to learn and create without complications. I definitely recommend it for anyone starting out in sublimation.

No returns and no support. If it doesn't work properly, too bad.

I was fairly happy with my Epson ET 2800, but was told that I'd get better colors with the F170. So I bit the bullet. The installation went smoothly and I was printing in short order. It was when I started printing items that had some dark gray that I noticed the problem. It was printing green. I contacted Epson tech support and they answered the phone almost immediately. (And how rare is that??) The woman I spoke with seemed to be familiar with the problem and advised me to modify the printer preferences and change the color correction from "ICM" to "No color correction". Well, it wasn't printing green anymore. Now the grays were brown. At this point, she ran out of ideas and gave me an email address for the second level of tech support and asked if I'd send a photo of the printed fabrics showing the problem. I did. That was over three weeks ago. I've sent a couple of followup emails, but they're ignoring me. But the best news was discovering that there are no returns on this product. I didn't think that was a thing with Amazon and I've never had any problems before. So now the 30-day return window is about to elapse and it appears that I'm stuck with an oversized doorstop. In the photo I'm including with this review, the fabric on the upper-left was printed with my Epson ET 2800. On the upper right, the F170 with ICM color correction. On the bottom, the F170 with no color correction.

Epson SureColor F170 Sublimation Printer Rocks!
Style: Printer & Inks, Style: Printer & Inks
TI’m a newbie at sublimation, and this is my first sublimation printer. I love it! I can’t wait to make more things! I like that it’s not too large, but still can print up to 8.5x14”. The quality seems to be really good, but I also don’t have any other printer to compare it to. This was my very first project! I’m very happy with it so far!
