INTRODUCTION

Dear Mr Dakmak

We are extremely excited that you have given us they opportunity to play a role in your upcoming sneaker line, by allowing us to be the supplier of your apparel focus. It is a crucial time, where a brands key ideals are exciting & broader scopes are correctly implemented in the market. Where fit is just right, additional to the quality. It is they structure behind Enigma Republic, that we can work together in making a breakthrough product for Modak. The kettle of awesomeness behind Modak's future success "Live Life" where we can see what kind of product you like to be focused in. Here is a little background of Enigma Republic, our Abstract Art focus where the word "Enigma" is derived & "Republic" is what we strive to focus on quality, this is what the industry lacks. Our standard practice is to always be competitive in the current market. Also strive to extend a gratitude of excellent customer service. Additionally maintaining superb quality throughout our products.

ER(EnigmaRepublic) was founded in 2010, by a student who loves the idea & art of graphic Tshirt, "Its a show of character, personality on a cotton canvas" he believed. After owning at least a hundred tees, came to the reality some of these items didn't stand for the buck we are spending. Then after some research came a perspective; how to strive in this market. Where the roads are limited specially in the apparel industry, it wasn't the designers/artist fault because their feature were blocked by cost, wasn't they wholesaler at fault because their pricing and choices were extremely limited and so on and so forth. So Shakil Ahmed founder of Enigma Republic came up with an idea which came to fruition in 2011. ER will work together with our customers and distribute straight from the manufacturer.

COTTON OF INDIA, CURRENT PRODUCTION

GM cotton acreage in India continues to grow at a rapid rate, increasing from 50,000 hectares in 2002 to 8.4 million hectares in 2009. The total cotton area in India was 9.6 million hectares (the largest in the world or, about 35% of world cotton area), so GM cotton was grown on 87% of the cotton area in 2009. This makes India the country with the largest area of GM cotton in the world, surpassing China (3.7 million hectares in 2009).

BACKGROUND IN TEXTILE PRINTING SCREEN PRINTING, SOMETIMES REFERRED TO IN POPULAR CULTURE AS SILK SCREENING, IS A POPULAR METHOD OF APPLYING IMAGES TO SUBSTRATES (MATERIALS THAT ARE PRINTED ON). THE MOST WELL-KNOWN USE OF THIS PROCESS IS THE PRODUCTION OF IMAGES ON T-SHIRTS. IT'S A RELATIVELY SIMPLE TECHNIQUE AND CAN BE PERFORMED AT HOME. THE BASIC PROCESS IS TO TAKE MESH (TYPICALLY WIRE) THAT IS STRETCHED OVER A FRAME AND CREATE A STENCIL ON IT. THE STENCILED AREA REMAINS OPEN MESH, WHILE THE NON-STENCILED AREA IS FILLED OR OVERLAID WITH A NON-POROUS MATERIAL. THE MESH IS LAID OVER THE SUBSTRATE AND FILLED WITH INK. A SQUEEGEE IS PULLED ACROSS THE MESH TO FORCE THE INK THROUGH THE OPEN AREA OF THE MESH ONTO THE SUBSTRATE,CREATING THE IMAGE. THIS PROCESS IS UNIVERSAL TO ALL TYPES OF SCREEN PRINTING. EVEN ROTARY SCREEN PRINTING USES THIS PROCESS, THOUGH THE MESH IS FIXED TO A CYLINDER AND THE SQUEEGEE RESIDES INSIDE THE CYLINDER. THE PRIMARY DIFFERENCES IN SCREEN PRINTING ARE FOUND IN THE TYPES OF INK USED AND THE EFFECTS THEY RENDER.

• WOODBLOCK PRINTING : WOODBLOCK FABRIC PRINTING IS THE EARLIEST FORM OF TEXTILE PRINTING. EASILY THE SLOWEST METHOD, THE ARTIST DESIGNS A SIMPLE SHAPE ON A WOOD BLOCK, THEN POUNDS THE BACK OF THE BLOCK WITH A MALLET TO CREATE AN IMPRESSION ON THE FABRIC.

• ROLLER PRINTING : ROLLER PRINTING WAS INVENTED IN SCOTLAND IN 1783. FABRIC IS FED INTO THE MACHINE, WHERE ENGRAVED CYLINDERS PASS OVER IT AND ARE CONTINUOUSLY INKED.

• SCREEN PRINTING : TODAY, THE MOST COMMONLY USED FABRIC PRINTING TECHNIQUE IS SCREEN PRINTING. USING A BLADE, INK IN THE FORM OF PASTE IS SQUEEZED THROUGH SMALL OPENINGS ON A SCREEN.

• STENCILING : FABRIC CAN BE PRINTED WITH STENCILS; THE ARTIST CREATES A DESIGN THAT IS CUT FROM HEAVY PAPER OR VERY THIN METAL, AND INK IS APPLIED THROUGH THE CUT-OUT OPENINGS.

• BLEACHING : AFTER FABRIC IS DYED, BLEACH CAN BE APPLIED TO CREATE A PRINT DESIGN.

• PRINTS USING WAX : A PRINT CAN BE APPLIED TO FABRIC USING WAX. AFTER THE FABRIC IS DYED, THE WAX IS REMOVED, LEAVING A LIGHTER DESIGN.

SCREEN PRINTING Screen printing, sometimes referred to in popular culture as silk screening, is a popular method of applying images to substrates (materials that are printed on). The most well-known use of this process is the production of images on T-shirts. It's a relatively simple technique and can be performed at home. The basic process is to take mesh (typically wire) that is stretched over a frame and create a stencil on it. The stenciled area remains open mesh, while the non-stenciled area is filled or overlaid with a non-porous material. The mesh is laid over the substrate and filled with ink. A squeegee is pulled across the mesh to force the ink through the open area of the mesh onto the substrate,creating the image. This process is universal to all types of screen printing. Even rotary screen printing uses this process, though the mesh is fixed to a cylinder and the squeegee resides inside the cylinder. The primary differences in screen printing are found in the types of ink used and the effects they render.

Plastisol: One of the most common inks used in screen printing, plastisol is a suspension of PVC particles in what is referred to as a plasticizer--a chemical additive that increases flexibility. This is used in the production of garments, and though it gives good image clarity, it has a very plastic feel and appearance.

Discharge Inks: Discharge inks work by affecting the existing dyes in a garment, usually to lighten them.

Flocking: Flocking is a process in which glue is applied to create the image, then a foil is applied to create a shiny appearance to the design.

Water-based Ink: Water-based inks e more penetration of fabric than plastisol-based processes and are employed when a softer result is sought.

Other Applications : Although textile applications are very common, screen printing can also be employed on circuit boards, wood, glass and even metal
