Wax Batik is a type of batik that the process of making the motif using wax as the main ingredient. The function of wax or commonly referred malam is to protect the part or motive of the coloring process. There are two types of batik that make wax as the main material of the type of batik and type of batik stamp. As for the type of batik printing is no longer using wax or night as the main ingredient but using a dye like normal screen printing.




This is because the process of making batik printing is like a patterned printing emblazoned on a sheet of cloth. And many batik lovers will refuse the printing category to enter in part of batik, because the making process does not use malam or through the process of batik. Instead, directly use a tool called print that has been given a motif with a certain color to produce a batik style as desired.



Although using batik style, but this is only the motive and not the real batik. But, now many batik craftsmen who "outsmart" it and make batik printing as one of batik art. The trick that is by combining it with the type of batik tulis or batik stamp. And this makes this type of batik combination to be part of batik although in it the process of making also use the printing process.
