Which fabric is associated with a direct print/roller method on a fabric base of 100% microfiber polyester?

• A. Ikat
• B. Houndstooth print
• C. Calico
• D. Ripstops

Answer: (B)

Direct print/roller printing uses engraved rollers to lay color onto the fabric surface in a repeatable pattern. On a 100% microfiber polyester base, this method is ideal for crisp, geometric repeats. The houndstooth print is a classic repeating motif that can be reproduced cleanly with roller printing on polyester, giving that sharp, regular broken-check look across the fabric. Ikat, by contrast, comes from resist-dyeing and weaving before finishing, which creates feathered edges and a woven texture rather than a surface-printed pattern. Calico refers to a cotton-print concept, not a polyester-specific surface print, and ripstops describe a weave with a reinforced grid, not a printed design.
