Batik Block Printed Process:
The block is dipped into the wax and printed onto the fabric, which is then dip-dyed. Then the wax will be removed and batik with single color is produced. To create multi-colors and complex batik, waxing with different blocks, dying and de-waxing have to be done many times.
Block-printed batik does not have the intricate delicacy of hand-drawn batik and similar shapes or patterns are repeated on a piece of fabric.
Cotton is a popular fabric used in block-printed batik and the output quantity is around 20 metres, depending on the original size of fabric.
Block-printed batik is usually tailored into shirts and dresses for leisure wear.
Block-printed batik is also made into handicrafts and soft furnishings like table clothes.
