What's also interesting is that when there ARE reds, they are either pinky-purpley reds or orangey-peachy reds. VERY few true reds in batik. Must be a dye challenge (or cost).
I don't where you are finding unRED batiks, but I have some that are amazingly red, and they do not bleed!
I do know that when I dye my own, it is hard to get one that is not too orange or pink...you usually have to add a touch of black or brown or even blue to it to keep it TRUE red...
