Colorant A colorant is a substance or material that imparts color to another material or surface by absorbing or reflecting certain wavelengths of light. In Giclée printing, colorants are the inks or pigments used to create printed images on paper, canvas, or other substrates. Different types of colorants, such as dye-based or pigment-based inks, offer varying characteristics in terms of color accuracy, lightfastness, and durability, influencing the quality and longevity of printed output. |
