Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study cotton fabric printing using wild taro flour (Colocasia Esculenta
(L.) Schott) as a thickening agent with the reactive dye printing method. Parameters such as temperature and
fixation time, quantities of thickening agent, sodium bicarbonate, and urea were investigated. The optimal ratio
for cotton fabric printing using wild taro flour consisted of 15% giant flour, 38% water, 1% sodium bicarbonate,
5.5% urea, and 0.5% dyestuff. Printing fixation with hot air at 150 °C for 5 minutes exhibited high color strength
values. The pattern design in the printing area on woven cotton fabrics displayed whiteness and sharpness. The
color fastness results ranged from fair to a good level.
