The Application of Indigo Strobilanthes Cusia Natural Dye Paste Using Block Printing Technique on Textile
Keywords:
Block Printing, Natural Dye, Indigo Strobilanthes Cusia, Fashion ProductsAbstract
Natural dyes can support environmental sustainability while providing a unique and attractive aesthetic value. This approach enhances the attractiveness of textile products and adds value, creating a competitive advantage in the creative and fashion industries. Indigo Strobilanthes cusia is a renowned natural dye used primarily by textile artisans and designers to dye fabric with indigo solutions, creating vibrant colors. In the realm of surface textile design, there is potential for indigo solutions to be modified into a paste, allowing for the creation of motifs on fabric using block printing techniques. This research aims to develop an optimal indigo paste formula for block printing techniques and examine the application of natural dyes on fabric. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, collecting data from literature studies, direct observation, social media analysis, and experiments. During the experiment's session, the block printing technique is applied by using paste formulas on various fabric types to examine the optimal viscosity and fixation methods of the paste. The research findings indicate that the natural dye from indigo paste of Strobilanthes cusia provides an optimal formula for block printing techniques, particularly in terms of motif sharpness and color durability, with a composition of 10 g of paste and 5 ml of water (viscosity value: 191 mPas). These findings can inspire the development of more sustainable textile products while expanding the use of natural dyes across various textile printing techniques. They can be further developed into fashion products.
