When preparing a costume or textile for exhibition, it is a challenge for textile conservators to make it as visually appealing and understandable as possible when significant elements are severely damaged or missing. These cases may require supplementary fabric for use as an inlay, overlay, or even yardage to reconstruct lost areas. In the past, hand painting and screen-printing have been used to replicate printed patterns, and woven patterns have been reproduced by commissioning custom woven cloth. Both techniques can require considerable work hours, long lead-times and significant expense. The use of digitally printed fabric is an increasingly important tool in textile conservation. For this paper I investigated and evaluated recent developments in digital printing with regard to their applications for textile conservation. My goal was to augment the foundation established by a handful of conservators over the past decade and to create a benchmark for conservators upon which to base further investigation.
