A substance used to give color to cloth, plastics, paper, or other materials.Dye may be made from plants or by synthetic chemical reactions.

In photography, the result of color processing in which the silver grains or incorporated color couplers have been converted into the appropriate dye to forrn part of the color image.

A soluble colorant (as opposed to pigments, which are insoluble). Dyes are capable of producing brighter colors than pigments, but are less stable and less resistant to fading over time.

Any of various colored substances that contain auxocromes and thus are capable of coloring substances to which they are applied.

a chemical compound of natural or synthetic origin which is soluble in the medium used to impart a colour to textiles and other non-food products

A soluble colorant; as opposed to pigment, which is insoluble.

To add color to fabric.

A chemical substance used to impart a colour to a material, particularly a fabric.

Vat or pressure infused process to produce colored veneers.

a usually soluble substance for staining or coloring e.g. fabrics or hair

color with dye; "Please dye these shoes"

A colorant that becomes molecularly dispersed at some point during application to fiber and exhibits some degree of permanence. There are many application classes of dyes, including acid dyes, disperse dyes, reactive dyes, and natural dyes. Dyes may be generally divided into natural and synthetic types. Natural dyes are obtained from berries, flowers, roots, bark and more. Synthetic dyes are chemical compounds.

A colored substance (which is soluble) that is added to ink, paper and textiles. Generally speaking, dye colors are not permanent enough to be used for fine-art applications where long term lightfastness is required.

A soluble, colored substance that is added to ink, paper, and textiles. Generally speaking, dye colors are less stable over the long-term than pigment colors but usually allow a greater color variety.

A colouring material that is totally dissolved in a liquid in order to make a stain that soaks into the wood instead of being left on top like a pigment.Dyes are transparent, and can make a deeply penetrating stain. Some dyes are not very lightfast.

Colored soluble substance that imparts a more or less permanent color to another material by staining or by chemical reaction with substrate.

A liquid or powder that is used to color wax. Can also come in flake or chunk form mixed with a small amount of parrafin wax.

Oil soluble colorants used for coloring the core.

A coloring material that dissolves completely in a system very transparent.

A coloring material, which is soluble in a vehicle or solvent as opposed to a pigment, which is insoluble.

As a colour layer, the dye allows the recording of information onto a CD-R. During the process of recording the laser alters the organic features of the dye and creates the information structure. The resulting playback quality is similar to one of a pre-recorded CD or CD-ROM.

A natural or synthetic soluble with particles used to color fabric.

Organic based material soluble in water or solvents.

An ink colorant that is soluble in vehicle or solvent.

Colourants which are oil soluble. Used for core colouring.

A dye is a natural or synthetic substance used to colour something. Dyes are usually used in an aqueous solution, which will work on all porous surfaces. They are most often used to colour materials and fabrics.

A color that is absorbed into a plastic lens. Go to Top | Close Window

A substance used to color fiber, yarn or textiles.

A soluble coloring material.

Contrast material used in X-ray.

(Sublimation Printing) The printing system that transfers colors from RGB, CMY, or CMYK computer files onto ribbons containing dyes that are heated and fused onto paper. Dye-sublimation printers are continuous- tone printers capable of producing photographic quality images.

Dyes are soluble colorants, usually chemical, used in printer inks. They dissolve in solvents such as water or alcohol.

A colorant that dissolves in water. Vegetable-based dyes are often use to produce non-outdoor-durable inks for large format ink-jets.

A material used for dyeing or staining.

Colored chemical that dissolves completely in water or other solvent; as opposed to pigments, which are insoluble.

color, as in: I think I will dye my hair a lighter shade.
