Which fabric is associated with resist print/screen method?

• A. Denim
• B. Herringbone
• C. Surah
• D. Serge

Answer: (C)

Resist print and screen printing work best on a fabric with a flat, smooth surface that can hold ink or dye cleanly. Surah is a lightweight cotton fabric with a crisp, plain weave and a smooth finish, which makes it ideal for sharp, even prints produced by screens or resist pastes. The other fabrics don’t share this combination: denim has a heavier weight and a twill texture that can distort prints; herringbone refers to a pattern rather than a fabric type and doesn’t imply a smooth surface; serge, a twill with a distinct diagonal weave, also doesn’t provide the same crisp print surface. So Surah pairs most closely with resist print and screen methods.
