Edi's inability to produce batik creation itself, require that he pay for the service designers from Yogya to make orders clothes she wants. "Indeed, the cost incurred to the many, but what can we do, I do not understand the design problem so that it all depends on designers," he said slowly.
According to him, the price of production would differ greatly between the handmade and designer. For clothes, the design itself is much simpler and cheaper, the price is relatively cheap, ranging from 75000-100000 USD, while the designer could reach USD 400 000. Edi batik products that do express themselves, the motive was never changed.

"Although the market is there, demand modification of the product is very high, so the margin should be reduced," he said slowly. During the month, omzetnya reach USD 100 million.
The main obstacle faced when pembatiknya not want batik or working very slow. Section, in which most of Indramayu livelihood as fishermen consider that batik is just odd jobs. If the husband batik come from the sea, they often leave the job membatiknya.
"This tradition is deeply rooted in Indramayu," said Edi. He even though their wages are often paid for having to work full time.
