A method of “printing” with a bleaching agent on pre-dyed fabric (usually medium to dark colors). The discharged areas may be left white and/or simultaneously printed with other colors. Also called dye-and-discharge.
Fisher, Wolfthal, 1987
Context:
The primary advantage of discharge printing is that bright and light colors or white can be printed on top of medium or dark grounds without the problem of fitting the background blotch around the motifs.
