This study examines the application of Rubia tinctorum L. (madder) as a natural dye in wool fabric printing, focusing on dyeing optimization and the effects of pre- and post-mordanting using various mordants. Wool fabrics were treated with iron(II) sulfate, alum, tannic acid, and tartaric acid before or after printing. For the printing process, the same mordants were used, with locust bean flour and gum arabic as thickeners. The impact of mordanting sequence (pre- vs. post-mordanting) on color yield and color fastness properties was analyzed to determine the optimal conditions for enhanced dye fixation and print quality. The results indicated that mordanting significantly enhanced color depth, with the highest color strength achieved through pre-mordanting with iron(II) sulfate. Natural mordants such as tannic and tartaric acids showed potential as effective alternatives to alum. Additionally, the color fastness to washing showed considerably high performance in terms of color change, although staining levels could be improved.

Bu çalışmada, yünlü kumaş baskısında doğal boya olarak Rubia tinctorum L. (kök boya) uygulamasının, boyama optimizasyonunun ve çeşitli mordanlar kullanılarak yapılan ön ve son mordanlamanın etkileri üzerinde durulmuştur. Yünlü kumaşlar, baskıdan önce veya sonra demir(II) sülfat, şap, tannik asit ve tartarik asit ile işlem görmüştür. Baskı işlemi için, belirtilen mordanlar kıvamlaştırıcı olarak keçiboynuzu çekirdeği unu ve arap zamkı ile birlikte kullanılmıştır. Mordanlama sırasının (ön ve son mordanlama) renk verimi ve haslık özellikleri üzerindeki etkisi, geliştirilmiş boya fiksajı ve baskı kalitesi için en uygun koşulları belirlemek amacıyla analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, mordanlamanın renk verimini önemli ölçüde artırdığını ve en yüksek renk veriminin demir(II) sülfat ile ön mordanlama yoluyla elde edildiğini göstermiştir. Tannik ve tartarik asitler gibi doğal mordanlar, şapa alternatif olabilecek potansiyele sahiptir. Ayrıca, yıkamaya karşı renk haslığı, renk değişimi açısından oldukça yüksek performans göstermiştir, ancak lekelenme konusunda geliştirmeye gerek duyulmaktadır.
