Pengaruh Zat Warna Alam (ZWA) terhadap Kualitas Hasil Ecoprint Teknik Steam Blanket

Abstract

Abstract Many problems because of the textile waste are encouraging the industry to apply eco fashion. The potential way is using the ecoprint technique. The ecoprint is a process that transmits color and form to the fabric through direct contact. The ecoprint in this study uses steam medium prints with several natural dyes such as sappan, ceriops, cudrania, mangostin peel and merr. The purpose of this study is to know how natural dyes affect the quality of the ecoprint on aspects of color and motive. The study employed experimental methods. Observations were made through laboratory tests and organoleptic tests with Semarang’s batik cluster as samples. Data analysis techniques using descriptive and inferential statistics. Background color direction analysis indicates that sappan gets peach-punch, ceriops gets tangerine-ginger, cudrania gets blonde-lemon, masngostin peel gets egg nog-sand, and merr gets daffodil-mustard. The grey scale test showed that there was no significant impact. While staining scale and aesthetic motive tests indicate there was a significant impact. Cudrania gets the best grey scale and staining scale tests with an average of 4.17 (good) and 4.25 (good). While the best of aesthetic motive test is obtained a cudrania with an average of 3.97.
