| Abstract | ||||
| The use of synthetic thickeners in the printing industry has several negative environmental consequences. As a result, in this study, we emphasized the use of various eco-friendly natural gums as thickeners to reduce the environmental impact. Fundamentally, printing is a type of colorings in which the colors are applied to specific areas of the fabric instead of the entire fabric. The resulting multicolored patterns have beautiful and artistic effects, increasing the value of the cloth above that of plain dyed cloth. The coloring matter is pasted with the help of a thickening agent to relegate it to the design area. Correct color, sharpness of mark, levelness, good hand, and efficient use of dye are all required for a successful print. | ||||
