Batik printing is done on those fabrics that are able for resist dyeing. Usually, cotton, silk and other natural fibers are used as basic fabrics in Batik. There are three alternative ways to print Batiks, Batik with waxing, Batik without waxing and Batik silk. Weavers almost follow the first step i.e., Batik with waxing, as it produces sheen, durable, smooth and quality fabrics.

Firstly, the fabric is washed, soaked and beaten, so that the cloth will be perfect for resist dyeing. Then, weaver draws design on the fabric using pencil. He makes dye-resist with the mixture of paraffin or bees wax, sometimes plant resins also.


Then, the design will be redrawn using a pen-like material called canting. Here, Weaver creates dots and lines for resist to flow smoothly on to the design. Sometimes, copper black tamp is used to cover the large areas of designs.

Finally, weaver dyes the cloth and boils it to remove fax. Everyday lives, incorporating patterns and motifs like flowers, geometrical shapes, animals, humans, folklore and nature etc are the basic themes of Batik.
