Well, if you want general information about the fabric, the difference isn’t in the pattern and how it is dyed, such as a batik print. The difference is in the greige base that it is printed on. This is why you can see the same print on different quality cottons. I am not sure what the requirements are for this group but I wanted you to know depending on what you planned for that fabric. Although in general, all batiks need a tighter weave to print well, the different greige base is a consideration. I hope that helps.
