Abstract
Screen printing is the technique used in graphic design. The material used in the process is rubber and dyes. The common dyes used today are chemical dyes that are not environmentally friendly, so it is necessary to explore them from natural materials such as turmeric. This study is experimental research conducted to determine the potential use of turmeric as a dye for water-based rubber. The results of this study found that turmeric can be used as a dye for water-based rubber. Turmeric on water-based rubber has only been used on uncoated paper.
