"Ecological printing" is the process of patterning the textile surface by using natural materials such as flowers, leaves and rusty metals. This printing technique, which does not have much history, is a method started by textile designer India Flint and is an environmentally friendly coloring and patterning process done completely naturally. In this study; rolls prepared using eucalyptus and rose petals on two types of woven fabric surfaces, namely cotton and mohair, are prepared in different ways by leaving them as they are, without covering them, by covering them with stretch film, by covering them with parchment paper, and by covering them with fabric soaked in iron solution (iron blanket). By visually evaluating the printing results of ecological printing experiments made by keeping them in steam; It is aimed to determine which ecological printing applications applied to which type of fabric and in which way give better results. For this purpose, the ecological pressures on four mohair woven and four cotton woven surfaces mordanted with alum were visually evaluated. In the study, in which the roll results prepared with different coating methods were also evaluated, after the ecological printing experiments applied on the cotton and mohair woven surface, it was found that the cotton weaving gave more distinct and clear results than the mohair weaving in terms of external form line, texture and color, and compared to the open-covered steam roll printing method. It has been observed that closed roll printing gives more distinct results.
