Let's talk about dyes. 🌈
Dyes bind directly to the material (like paper, plastic, and metal), delivering vibrant color across a range of applications like beverage cans and posters. But there’s a trade-off. Dye-based color simply doesn’t stand up to time or sunlight. UV exposure breaks it down quickly, causing fading—even when protective measures are in place.
When it comes to holding color, pigments lead the way. However, there is a time and place for dyes. It all depends on your specific application.
