Abstract

The textile printing branch is becoming a widely-known technology for all fibers, textiles, and garments in the textile wet processing industries. Printing is a kind of coloring in which colors are applied to regions of the cloth rather than the entire fabric. In this study, we highlighted the use of eco-friendly natural dyes as a colorant material to decrease the environmental effect. Natural and synthetic dyes are substances of great interest since they play a significant part in our daily lives. A wide range of technical and industrial uses for dyeing or printing cloth, paper, leather, and other materials. Some of these colors are poisonous, carcinogenic, and can irritate the skin and eyes. Many harmful and allergenic synthetic colors are now prohibited. Many colors, while not yet prohibited, may not be safe.
