After the natural cloth is patterned with resist/covering agents (wax/paraffin) end special tools (Tjanting/Tjamp) that prevent the absorption of dye in the desired parts, it is colored with the dip dyeing method. Batik, also known as Blaudruck in the world, is similar to Bervanik Printing, also Waxed Blue Cloth, Blue Printing or Blaudruck, which is the local name for the loincloth and apron used in traditional women's clothing in the Malatya region of Turkey.
