The Technical Characteristics Of Tie-Dye
Tie-dye and batik
Batik and tie-dye are both popular traditional printing and dyeing methods among several ethnic groups in Yunnan. They have similar principles and slight differences in technology. Batik is just like photography, which uses the principle of photochemistry. Firstly, the negative film (negative film) is photochemically reacted. According to the intensity of light, the degree of reaction is different. The dyed color also forms the appearance of penetration, and the color has a transition effect from nothing. If the alchemists had continued to study chemistry and batik, they might have invented the camera. The dyes of tie-dyeing and batik dyeing can be the same, but in vivid tie-dyeing, the fabric is not attached by wax, but by tying part of the fabric with rope. The tied part is not put into the dye, and the other part forms the same color as the dye. The bundled part also forms the color transition due to the infiltration of liquid. Tie-dye is very rich in national characteristics, natural tie-dye, has been deeply favored by domestic and foreign tourists. 
Tie dyeing and printing Vivid tie-dyeing is the use of needles, thread and other tools to tie the fabric according to their own preferences, and then dye. Because the dye can not penetrate the tie, so after the stitching will form a variety of patterns. It is different from printing, printing can generally be regarded as local dyeing, to achieve printing, we must first make a screen (or roller) according to the pattern designed by the designer, and print the color where it is needed, and do not color where it is not needed. The required process is more complex, and the printed pattern is completely consistent. Natural tie-dyeing with dyeing methods to achieve the effect of printing, and because the manual tie method has no reproducibility, so the world can not have exactly the same tie-dyeing accessories, this is the unique charm of tie-dyeing. 
Tie dye and digital Digital art is a new art category under the product of information and digital age, reflecting a strong modern cultural atmosphere. According to Gunalan Nadarajan, Director of the Department of Vision, Lasalle - Singapore Airlines College of the Arts, "Digital art refers to the art form and process of making use of the new developments in computer technology, especially the research results of information, communication, image, biological science, etc." . This form of artistic creation is a change from the previous model. It breaks the previous mode and thinking of simple designer creation, and can integrate computer technology and related new information and new technology, and realize the integration of super functions of "human-computer interaction" design by combining the powerful storage function and editing function of computer with the creative ability of designers. Thus, the designer can maximize the effective integration and fission of various things and resources of various disciplines, and produce a new visual image that is strange, unique, unforgettable and full of future sense. The ultimate goal of modern tie-dye industrial art practice is to create new visual patterns on the corresponding carriers and form unique creative, marketable and artistic added value textile and clothing products to meet the market demand. Therefore, vivid tie-dye art breaks through the limitations of traditional and classic techniques and materials, and draws lessons from digital art to carry out natural tie-dye pattern design, which can be said to "keep pace with The Times". It not only has certain theoretical research value, but also has strong application practice.
