Just like dirndl dresses are part of the Ausseerland area, silk scarves and aprons are part of dirndl dresses.
In Bad Aussee there are different types of hand printing businesses. Silk scarves, silk cloths and linen are printed on.
Accuracy and a steady hand are prerequisites for the occupation of hand printing. Still hand printing cannot be compared to film printing and rotation printing. Machine printing lacks what makes hand printing precious: the trademark of the printer.
The most important tool is the hand block. They are true works of art made of wood, either carved or feature brass pins that create the actual pattern.
All colours and patters are printed by hand onto the white base. Once fixed the scarves and cloths are colourfast.
