Die Autorinnen zeigen in mehr als zwanzig leicht nachvollziehbaren Kursen Schritt für Schritt denWeg zu den ersten eigenen Printmustern am Rechner auf, die dann sowohl für die traditionelle Textilproduktion als auch für den digitalen Druck geeignet sind. Zudem wird der derzeitige technische Status Quo in der Modebranche aufgezeigt und ein Einblick in die Möglichkeiten des Digitaldrucks gewährt.
