Dye-based inks are water based and quick drying. Images will look crisper & brighter when stamped on white gloss-coated papers and appear more opaque when stamped on uncoated paper stock. They may bleed or blur on absorbent papers, such as construction or tissue paper and may fade over time. They are excellent to use when coloring with pencils, markers, and watercolors. Most are acid-free and can be used for scrapbooking.

Based purely on longevity or light fastness of the inks, pigment-based inks are by far the best. They were originally designed for use in the outdoor sign printing industry because of their resistance to ultraviolet (UV) light. This UV component is what ultimatelyprovides them over 100 years longevity. Dye-based inks on the other hand, offer the least longevity, though they do have potential a slightly larger colour gamut than pigment-based inks.

Dye ink uses water-soluble dye and pigment ink uses water-insoluble particles to deliver color to the paper. There are few major differences between inks that are dye-based and pigment-based. Epson's patented Durabrite is a pigment-based ink formula. Pigment based ink are much more resistant toward water stains and sunlight. Dye based printouts will become fazed by water stains, where pigment based printout would not be effected.

Dye ink is water-base and Pigment ink is oil-base. Dye ink is more cost effective, however, the printing quality is not better than pigment ink in the aspect of waterproof and color fast.

A dye is soluble (dissolves) in water, oils, alcohol, or glycerin. The color of dyes can change when put in a high pH environment. This includes cold process soap making. For example, Bright Blue will turn pink in cold process soap. Our dyes are all "coal tar" dyes, which means that they are chemically manufactured. They are also all approved for use in cosmetics. In general, dyes are brighter in color, and color "bleeding" can be a problem. Dyes work exceptionally well in single color pours.

Dye-base ink less water-resistant less fade-resistant Pigmented ink more water-resistant more fade-resistant

The fabric must be able to withstand 60 degree Celsius water and must not be damaged by creasing. Cold dyes exist but they're a pain in the neck to use and the colour doesn't stand up to repeated washing. Buy some Dylon Hand Dye (Woolworths sell it along with their sewing stuff) and a bag of cooking salt. Then get hold of an old bucket or bowl, a pair of rubber gloves and a clean wooden stick (the bowl, gloves and stick will be stained afterwards).

Very, very few things will easily dye skin. None of the above will improve or significantly change the color of your henna pattern. They might stay on top of your skin briefly, but they will not dye your skin as henna does.

Ink Jet printers spray incredibly tiny drops of ink onto the surface of the paper. Some of the better ones, when used with the manufacturers photo paper, yield very nice photographic results. Dye-Sublimation is a technology that uses a matched color ribbon (donor) and photo paper (receiver). As the paper passes through the printer, the ribbon is heated to a gas state. The gas permeates the photo paper before returning to a solid state.

It depends on your application. If you desire a wider color gamut, dye-based inks are preferable but do not last as long as UV. UV ink images tend to be less crisp looking, however these inks do not fade as fast as dye, and when used with the appropriate media they also offer water resistance.

Beautiful effects can be created by over-dyeing printed fabrics, such as polka dots, checks, stripes, etc. The dye will blend with the original color to create a new shade.

they both contain hydroquinone, which needs to be used under the direction of your physician and can cause some sensitivity and flakiness. note: both products must be used in conjunction with a sun block because of the increased sun sensitivity factor. the facial exfoliant is designed for all skin types with mild pigment problems and designed for those who are looking for an even appearance to the skin. this product contains 3% hydroquinone, as well as alpha-hydroxy acids for exfoliation.

Standard inks are dye (water-based) inks that are used most commonly among printing services and are not waterproof. They are not resistant to UV rays and will begin to fade after 1 to 3 years. Archival inks are pigment (oil-based) inks that are used for museum prints and high end photography prints. They are waterproof and resistant to UV rays. Our specific archival inks will last 100 to 150 years before they begin to fade.

Yes, with Procion MX dyes, but the polyester part of the fabric will not take dye and you will get a much lighter, "heathered" effect.

On our website, you will find the letters "RR" by some fabric names. RR stands for railroaded. A fabric's pattern style falls into one of two categories-either railroaded or up the roll. A railroaded fabric is one with a pattern that runs horizontally across the roll, rather vertically.

ORAJET® 1900 series is engineered for consistent outstanding performance on most wide format water-based inkjet printers.

Oddica tees typically are printed with water-based ink, which has a soft feel, and more breathability than typical Plastisol. Water-based inks are durable and have become standard inks for large companies such as Volcom, Quiksilver, and Paul Frank.

The functionality in water-based flexographic inks capitalizes on the products’ inherent heat resistance and “wettability” characteristics of the soy protein. No other product allows the flexo ink users the ability to print and keep ink integrity in the heat-intense environment of a corrugated box converting operation. “Wettability” describes the process of re-wetting the ink to remove it from the ink cylinder during printing.

You might notice that your yellow chamber, in a three-chamber color cartridge, usually runs out first. The great thing about refilling your own cartridges is that you no longer have to waste the other inks. Simply refill the yellow chamber and top off the others!
