'''Ismail Sulemanji Khatri''' (12 August 1937 – 28 April 2014) was an [[Indian people|Indian]] craftsman, especially known for his invention of the [[Bagh print]], a part of the centuries-old hand block printing practice.<ref>{{cite news|title=The man behind the craft|url=http://www.thehindujobs.com/thehindu/mp/2003/02/17/stories/2003021700170300.htm|access-date=5 January 2015|agency=The Hindu|date=February 17, 2003|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150103092207/http://www.thehindujobs.com/thehindu/mp/2003/02/17/stories/2003021700170300.htm|archive-date=3 January 2015}}</ref>

He started block printing having moved to Bagh in the 1950s. As well as using traditional blocks, some 200–300 years old, he had new blocks made with designs inspired by the [[jali]] patterns found locally and at the [[Taj Mahal]]. He improved upon the red and black dyes previously used, and developed new vegetable-based dyes. Success came particularly when he started printing on bed sheets, saris and fabrics.<ref name="TH-Oct11">{{cite news|last1=Chari|first1=Pushpa|title=The Bagh story…|url=http://www.thehindu.com/arts/crafts/the-bagh-story/article2554935.ece|website=The Hindu|language=en-IN|date=20 October 2011}}</ref>
