After getting know what "Batik" is, the problem we face now is the duplication of Batik itself, say Printing batik (using Printing Technology, neglecting human skill aspects).
They (printing batik producers) said that " i do it because to make effectiveness to consumer, cheap price, huge production, cutting time production."

From your neutral view, What should the traditional Batik producers do, when Technology reach them...

Ignore it....and go on doing what they do so well. That is the reason there is still such a demand for traditional Batik. Those who cannot afford it will opt to buy machine made.

There's a place for both in the world. There is really no comparison between machine made and that made by the traditional process.

An issue is that often the producers get a fraction of the value, while middle people take most of the profit.

This is where "Fair Trade" principals need to prevail, where producers get a fair price for their work......don't you agree?
Batik Products is segmented market. for they whom like the genuine quality of hand made Batik art, they should choose traditional one. but on the contrary, People dont look for artistic side, they will choose Printing Batik for Effectiveness..
