The invention relates to the technical field of architectural ceramics, and particularly discloses a preparation method of a cloth-pattern-imitated rock plate, which comprises the following steps: S1, applying cover glaze to a green body and drying; S2, printing a pattern by adopting oily matte ink and ceramic ink-jet ink; S3, applying a velvet-like glaze material; S4, applying a particle-like glaze material, and then drying; and S5, firing. According to the invention, the texture pattern with a three-dimensional effect is preliminarily formed on the surface of the green body through the oily matte ink, the unique velvet texture of the cloth grains is reduced by combining the velvet-like glaze, and then the soft fine particle texture of the cloth grains with slight fluctuating particles is reduced by superposing the granular-like glaze, so that the unique texture of the cloth grains is highly reduced; in addition, the velvet-like glaze and the particle-like glaze can make the color development of the ceramic ink-jet ink more uniform, local color difference is avoided, and the manufactured cloth-pattern-like rock plate is high in reduction degree, fine and smooth in hand feeling and good in decoration effect; the velvet-like glaze and the granular-like glaze can also endow the rock plate with high hardness and high wear resistance, and the prepared rock plate is excellent in antifouling property and scratch resistance.
