Ecoprint or botanical printing is getting popular in India. Ecoprint is a technique to print natural pigment or shape of the different parts of plant like leaves, bark, seeds, fruit, roots, flower on textiles, paper, leather and ceramic.
EcoFab developed its own process of scouring of fabric, mordanting, dyeing and printing which is completely eco-friendly and organic.
In this process fabric is first scoured with “Aritha” fruit (soapnut) or a solution of soda ash and castor oil. After scouring it is pre mordant with alum or symplocos (Lodhra) or any safe mordant (colour binder) and then dyed with chosen natural dye. After dyeing various leaves put on the fabric and bundled then after steamed for an hour to get the impression.
After steaming it is unwrapped, washed with water and product is ready.
