Key Findings/Conclusion:
The results showed a variation in color direction based on the type of natural dye and the type of fixator used. The color of Kasumedangan batik cloth in the Cadas Pangeran motif using clove leaf extract with two different fixators produces cream and dark brown colors. Based on the test results, the color resistance to washing 40°C shows the level of color resistance of clove leaves using the ferrous sulfate fixator is good (value 4-5 from a scale of 5) and lime solution fixator is categorized as good (value 4-5 from scale 5). Meanwhile, the results of the color fastness test to light: day light using ferrous sulfate were found to be categorized as quite fairly good (value 3-4 from a scale of 5) and using lime solution was categorized as good (value 4 from a scale of 5). Based on these results, it can be concluded that the clove leaf extract can be used as an environmentally friendly dye for batik cloth and has local wisdom and added value for batik craftsmen.
