Traveljunkieindonesia.com – Yes, Travel Junkie Indonesia love Batik. The word ‘batik’ is an old Javanese word meaning ‘to dot’.
From the mid-19th century, batik production was increased by applying the wax with a metal stamp called a cap.
The cap technique can usually be identified by the repetition of identical patterns, whereas in batik tulis, even repeated geometric motifs vary. Some batik combine the two techniques with batik tulis used for fine detail. It’s worth noting that batik cap is true batik; don’t confuse it with screen-printed cloth which completely bypasses the waxing process and is often passed off as batik.
