Textile printing is applying colour to fabric in definite patterns or designs. In properly printed fabrics the colour is bonded with the fibre, so as to resist washing and friction. Textile printing is related to dyeing but, whereas in dyeing proper the whole fabric is uniformly covered with one colour, in printing one or more colours are applied to it in certain parts only, and in sharply defined patterns. It was widely used from the 12th century.

MAJOR TYPES OF BATIK IN MALAYSIA

In Malaysia, there are two major types of batik:

•  HAND-DRAWN BATIK

•  BLOCK PRINTED BATIK

HAND-DRAWN BATIK is where the designs are drawn on the fabric with hot liquid wax by using a metal object called CANTING.

When the wax outlines are done, artists use the brushes to paint the dyes within the outlines. The use of brush allows for the creation of shaded and multi-hued designs.

• Batik is a fabric dyeing method using wax to create patterns and designs. 
• This method makes use of a resist technique; applying areas of cloth with wax (a dye-resistant substance) to prevent them from absorbing colors when the cloth is dipped into dye.
• Not only as a dye-resistant substance, the wax applied is also used to control colors from spreading out from a particular area to create motif when the dye is painted.

A method thought to be over a thousand years old, today, batik has taken on a much wider meaning. It can be referred to:

• cloth block printed with wax
• cloth decorated with hand-drawn designs.
• cloth decorated with traditional batik designs without the use of the resist method

The use of batik has also extended from clothing to everything from home furnishings and table cloths to handicrafts.

In Malaysia, batik has become a national identity and flourish in the arena of fashion where batik attire is worn for both formal and informal occasions.

When Malaysia hosted the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC) in 1998, leaders showed up to proceedings decked in floral and swirling trade marked batik patterns.

A Brief History of Weaving

Weaving is a method of fabric production in which two distinct sets of yarns or threads are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth. There is evidence that weaving began as early as the Paleolithic era, however it is predominantly believed to have been widespread by Biblical times. In the Islamic culture, both horizontal and vertical looms could be found all over Asia, Africa and Europe (around 700 AD) and by medieval times weaving was the most important of the craft trades. The industrial revolution saw the invention of the power loom (before everything had been woven by hand). The Jacquard loom in particular allowed complicated patterns to be woven using punch cards to determine which threads of colored yarn should appear on the upper side of the cloth.
