“Batik Trusmi” is a handy craft from Cirebon.... “Batik Trusmi” made with method,,
the lines they copy with their “canting” accurately followed the lines on the cloths.... After that several parts should be covered with “malam”,,, and dye with the natural dye... And the dyeing process in not simple.... Generally,, three types of dyes are use in “batik”....

• Dark Color for shades
• Indigo for pale motive
• Reactive dyes for brighter color

In Cirebon has two place which made “Batik Trusmi” that is Trusmi Barat and Trusmi Timur villages, both the north of Panembahan.... Trusmi and around villages have long been famous as “batik” centers....
Now we look Trusmi Barat,, the production process starting with copying the “batik” pattern from tracing paper on the cloth to be “batik”.... Next is the batik process using “canting” and “malam”,, followed by dyeing with the compatible color,, and then the cloth is air – dried in ,,the sun.... The last step is “nglorod”,, in which the wax adhering to the cloth is removed by boiling the cloth in soda solution....
The same process do in Trusmi Timur....
