YOGYAKARTA 'Did you know the ecoprint technique on clothes? If not, you are not alone.
Ecoprint is one of the clothing printing techniques. Ecoprint stands for the word eco or ecosystem and print which means print.
This printing technique has uniqueness in its final result because clothing is printed using various shapes of plants so that it produces unique motifs.
In addition, ecoprint techniques can also produce products that are personal, limited, intimate and exclusive rather than using digital print whose results tend to be the same visually.
For those of you who want to get to know the ecoprint technique in deeper clothing, VOI has summarized a number of information for you. Let's look at the following reviews.
Ecoprint techniques are printed techniques with natural cloth colorings that are quite simple but can produce unique and authentic motifs.
The principle of manufacture is, through direct contact between leaves, flowers, stems, or other parts of the plant that contain color pigment with certain cloth media.
Ecoprint is called a environmentally friendly cloth printing technique because it does not use chemicals that can pollute the environment.
The color used to decorate plain cloth can be made of leaves, fruit, stems, or flowers. These natural ingredients are boiled first before being used as a color for cloth.

At least, there are three types of clothing printing techniques with natural ingredients that are commonly used, namely pounding (hit), steaming (kukus) and leaf fermentation techniques.
Each technique has a different method, tools and materials so that the cloth coloring process has a different level of difficulty.
The explanation is as follows:
1. Profit engineering
The pounding technique is the simplest motif printing technique on a cloth, because it is made only by hitting a hammer on a leaf or flower that has been arranged on a cloth.
However, making eco printing with a pounding technique requires accuracy and accuracy in order to produce products that have exotic patterns.
If you want to make an ecoprint cloth with a pounding technique, pay attention to the following steps:
2. Steaming technique
Steaming technique is an ecoprint fabrication technique by steaming it. This technique requires quite a lot of materials and quite long steps.
To produce an ecoprint with a charming pattern, you need to brush the cloth sheets that have been affixed with various plant ornaments.
The manufacture of ecoprints using steaming techniques must go through three stages, namely the mordant stage or immersion, the coloring stage and the formation of motifs, and the fictitious stage.
3. leaf fermentation technique
The manufacture of ecoprints with leaf fermentation techniques is carried out by soaking leaves into vinegar which is then beaten like a pounding technique.
The following are the stages of making an ecoprint cloth with a leaf fermentation technique.
