How Textile Chemical Dyes Impact the Environment?

In the vibrant world of fashion and textiles, colors play a pivotal role in capturing our imagination and defining our sense of style. The captivating hues of our garments owe their brilliance to a significant yet often overlooked aspect of the industry: chemical dyes.

These dyes have revolutionized the textile sector, making it possible to produce a wide array of colors and patterns that appeal to consumers' ever-changing tastes. However, amidst this rainbow of possibilities lies a dark truth - the environmental impact of textile chemical dyes.

In this blog, we delve into the consequences of using chemical dyes in textile production and explore sustainable alternatives that can help mitigate the ecological footprint of the fashion industry.

Water Pollution

One of the most significant environmental concerns associated with chemical reactive dyes in textiles is water pollution. Conventional dyeing processes often involve large amounts of water, which is used to rinse and treat fabrics. As a result, vast quantities of chemically-laden wastewater are discharged into rivers and water bodies, contaminating aquatic ecosystems. Many of these dyes are non-biodegradable and can persist in the environment for decades, disrupting the natural balance and threatening the health of aquatic organisms.

Energy Consumption

The process of digital textile sublimation inks requires substantial energy inputs, primarily during the dye application and fixation stages. Traditional dyeing methods may involve high-temperature dye baths and extended processing times, adding to the industry's carbon footprint. The energy-intensive nature of these processes contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, accelerating climate change and its devastating consequences.

Toxic Chemical Exposure

Chemical dyes used in textile auxiliaries manufacturers often contain hazardous substances such as heavy metals, formaldehyde, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Not only are these substances harmful to the environment, but they also pose significant health risks to the workers in the textile industry who are exposed to them daily. Moreover, consumers may experience allergic reactions and skin irritations when in contact with garments containing residual dye chemicals.

Biodiversity and Land Contamination

When dye wastewater finds its way into the soil, it can have severe consequences for terrestrial ecosystems. The toxic substances from the dyes can leach into the soil, affecting soil quality and disrupting the delicate balance of local flora and fauna. Moreover, the disposal of waste from dyeing processes can lead to the accumulation of harmful chemicals in landfills, further exacerbating the environmental impact.

 Scarce Resource Consumption

Many chemical dyes rely on non-renewable resources for their production. For instance, some synthetic dyes use petroleum-based derivatives, placing additional strain on dwindling fossil fuel reserves. As these resources become scarcer, the textile industry must find more sustainable alternatives to safeguard the planet's future.

 Embracing Sustainable Solutions

As we confront the ecological consequences of chemical dyes, the textile industry is gradually recognizing the urgent need for change. Embracing sustainable solutions can help mitigate the impact of dyes on the environment:

Natural Dyes: Traditional plant-based dyes, such as indigo, turmeric, and madder, offer a biodegradable and eco-friendly alternative. They can be sourced sustainably, reducing the strain on the environment.

Waterless Dyeing Technologies: Innovative technologies, like air dyeing and digital printing, minimize water usage and eliminate the discharge of wastewater, significantly reducing water pollution.

Biodegradable Dyes: Researchers are developing biodegradable dyes that break down naturally over time, circumventing the issue of persistent chemicals in the environment.

Eco-Friendly Dyeing Processes: Manufacturers can adopt low-impact dyeing techniques that consume less energy and minimize toxic chemical usage, ensuring a cleaner and safer environment for all.

The use of chemical dyes offers by textile printing ink exporter in the textile industry has undoubtedly made fashion more colourful and accessible. However, this innovation comes at a high cost to our environment. From water pollution to biodiversity loss, the impact of chemical dyes on the planet is far-reaching.

To ensure a sustainable future, it is imperative for the industry to embrace eco-friendly alternatives and implement responsible dyeing practices. By taking steps towards a more environmentally conscious approach, we can paint a brighter, greener canvas for the fashion world, where creativity and conscience coexist harmoniously.

transformers reactions to human modifications. (tattoos, piercings, hair-dye.) headcanons!

optimus prime, bumblebee, prowl. tfa.

sfw / suggestive under cut.

may do more of them, i love this show to death.

optimus prime

"you do this stuff... for fun? huh."

try as he might, he does not understand the point much.

don't get me wrong, i see animated optimus to be the closest to a mid-twenties rascal as you can get. modifications aren't unheard of for bots. he's not a nun.

however ...

he sees humans as still pretty fragile. so the idea that you like going and having needles shoved into your flesh and jammed through your muscle isn't something he can wrap his helm around at first.

primus forbid you have lots.

imagine him trying to process you explaining that yes, your entire back is covered in ink and you're planning on about five different piercings in the next year.

"so you. you plan on getting two on your back. just because?"

"that's the plan, big guy."

poor mech is lost. though he does enjoy learning more about humanity when he isn't stressing too much about saving it.. so expect questions.

when you suggest getting one of the autobot emblem, his circuits nearly fry.

prowl

"so, what's the significance?"

i see prowl not writing off the behavior as weird and instead digging for why you pursued this journey.

yes, he sees your tattoo and piercing collection as a journey, because that's what it is, isn't it? years of work and pain to adorn your body to your liking.

he knows that humans are bundled with nerves. there's respect earned. he finds humans to be eerily resilient.

will ask you the meaning of each and every one. piercings less so.

"what does this bird represent?"

"mm.. my sense of liberty."

"a visual representation of the wish to stretch to new horizons. how fascinating. being small in a vast universe with the urge to still explore."

"i also just like hummingbirds."

"mm. i see."

will get onto you once he finds out about the "makeshift" work. finds the mistakes or even forgettable craftsmanship to make you endearing.

bumblebee

"whoa! sick paintjob, human!"

he LOVES human culture. and you guys can just... change your appearance? count him impressed!

you had dyed your hair to a nice golden yellow to match his frame and he almost jammed his intake shut.

"you can just. do that?!? b-but your helm used to be-"

"hair, bee."

"right, right. it wasn't always that color though!!!"

he thinks it's so cool. real dork about it. totally buzzed out once you spoke about the chemistry that it went to the process though.

he thinks piercings are cute. after all the fusion of metal and organic is kiiind of taboo. you pull it off great.

tattoos make him beg ratchet to let him upgrade his paint. poor old mech is grumpy and over bumble whining him to just let him "get some flames and that's it."

you draw a lot of inspiration from him. will gladly brainstorm your next big change and puff his chassis out like a lil peacock knowing you're willing to get something permanent done in his designation.

nsfw.

optimus prime

"you look like a painting. primus above, you're gorgeous..."

optimus prime enjoys tracing your tats. he kisses the patterns and images as if the pain of the needle remains, glossa licking along thick and thin ink with shuttered optics.

he likes to see goosebumps trail after. kind of a weird fetish (?) but he mostly enjoys how reactive you are and how your inkwork ripples with the movement.

when he finds out your piercings can make you sensitive ...

well, good luck.

optimus at his spark of sparks is such a tease. when you continue to surprise him, it's nice to be in control of that mutual fascination for once.

"you enjoy when i tug.. these?"

nipple piercings.

expect his glossa. he takes special care to even lubricate each of his digits just to toy with your sore nipples.

prowl

"that's it. fall apart for me. just like art..."

prowl is observant. so when you let it slip that you've been holding back on some of what's on your body...

you're on his berth and naked. his optics are hidden behind his sharp visor.

"holding back on me? that's a shame. i thought you knew better than to do that."

is he angry? hardly! but his processor is about to work overtime when you stammer just why you hadn't gone into depth.

genital piercings.

he doesn't say anything for a long time. doesn't ask the millions of questions bombarding his thoughts. his servos do that speaking before he can.

let's just say you start to understand why he deals with tedious and delicate situations. those hands are built for... meticulous attention.

bites. all the areas with piercings. focuses carefully damn near to the square inch of sensitive flesh where it drives you wild.

tattoos? he loves to scrape his digits down em.

loves to doll you up in lingerie that accentuates everything you hide. crotchless, cut-outs exposing yourself until he can't see where the inkwork begins and ends.

[letslookatsewing]

I made this blog because this project took so long and I’m really proud of these and want to show them off. (also the marks are back finally so I can't be accused of plagiarism if these images are online)

For context, where I live any student who takes Textiles for Year 12 (senior year) has to complete a major work which we start in October and submit them in August. It can be any area of textiles and based around any topic. For mine, I made fabric dust jackets for all of Aiden Thomas’ current (at the time) books.

Here they are! I’m so happy with them. Details and more photos under the cut because I crammed a lot of easter eggs in these and no-one I know IRL has read the books. Warning it will be long.

!Spoilers for the books below!

I hand dyed all of the fabric, myself

The yellow dye is home-made marigold dye and there are embroidered marigolds in the corner of the back cover to represent Dia De Muertos 

The church, headstones and stingray were printed with carved rubber stamps

The beading leading from the church to the water is meant to represent the rocky cave walls of the chamber

Yadriel’s portaje is included in the beads

The left side of everything has a gold outline to show the light from the sunset hitting it

I also screen printed ‘Thomas’ on the spine ‘cause my school librarian told me it wouldn’t look like a book otherwise. Screen printing stuff that small is a nightmare but I’m glad with how it turned out (mostly)

The inside shows the boys on the beach during halloween

The sky above them has Julian’s Scorpio star sign while the lining has Yadriel’s Cancer

I used sequins to be the sand and cover the raw edge of the fabric

The lining for all the books is ice dyed

The papel picado design on the lining is screen printed. I tried to make the pattern look simultaneously like gravestones and skulls with little marigolds in the corners

The jaguar print at the bottom is 100% meant to represent Bahlam and definitely not to cover a failed screen printing attempt

I used lace dyed with every colour imaginable to cover the fraying corners because the black dye turned navy for some reason

The front of this book is made from four sheer layers of mesh with sequins, painted silhouettes and applique in between to create the appearance of a shadow box, while being two dimensional

I dyed the fabric with light reactive dye and hung it to dry from a single point so that the folds would create the white radiating lines from the centre to add depth

To cut out the front bit of the tree I used a candle flame so that it wouldn’t fray and would have a slightly gnarled appearance

I also entirely underestimated how long that much backstitch embroidery would take

The appliqued trees are the only fabric I didn’t hand dye in this project

For the inside I painted the lighter fabric to look like Wendy and her brothers’ bedroom with the fairy lights, articles about deep sea exploration and portraits 

The one in the bottom right corner is specifically modeled after the family photo in one of the character cards by Gibb_Arts on Graveyard Goods

The palm trees in the middle are meant to represent Neverland. I screen printed them and then painted the inside of the leaves with slightly sparkly paint 

There are also the stars to get to Neverland above the trees

My teacher managed to wear me down into using bias binding for the edges of this cover and I’m glad I did but bias binding really is my enemy. It was so hard to work with D:

This cover was also dyed with the marigold dye

Each of the feathers were cut with a laser cutter, dip dyed and stitched on by hand. Each one is made from one layer of dyed suiting fabric, overlaid with the same sparkly fabric from the Lost in the Never Woods cover

I used heat transprint ink to get the pattern onto the gold ribbons, which was hard because they were so shiny. The pattern is based off of Aurelio’s collar on the print by Meowlayn on Graveyard Goods. I like that with this colour scheme it can also kinda looks like jaguar print for Ocelo 

The sunburst crown in the left corner is painted. It’s hard to see but it is outlined in gold hand embroidery

The pattern beneath is meant to resemble a cut jade geode (but in black to represent Xio) It was made using light reactive dye and a stencil cut from a foil tray

The beads and chains across the top are inspired by the draping jewelry that many of the characters have in their trading cards (especially Aurelio and Dezi)

The beads are also in a ratio of 8 gold to 1 jade and 1 obsidian to represent the competitors, themselves

The inside cover has screen printed mountains for Niya and La Cumbre

The patterns on the side are based off of how the competitor results are shown at the end of each trial. The left shows the first trial while the right shows the last

If you read all this, thanks for sticking around! I'll probably add on to this series with a Celestial Monsters cover soon and I'll definitely make one for Espiritu in September (so so so excited for it!!!!!)

(Btw, the plush ghost in the first picture is called Julian in a German accent)

Dyes : The World of Colors

Colors make our world vibrant, and dyes are the magical ingredients that bring life to everything around us. Let’s explore the colorful universe of dyes, breaking down the various types and their fascinating uses in everyday life.

Understanding Dyes:

Dyes are like special paints that add color to different things. Humans have been fascinated by colors for a long time, and dyes play a huge role in making our world colorful. There are two main types of dyes: natural and synthetic. They are used to add color to items like utensils, textiles, leather products, and even food.

Types of Dyes:

Basic Dyes:

These dyes are made in labs and give really bright colors. They are great for adding color to things like acrylic fibers and synthetic materials.

Direct Dyes:

These dyes dissolve in water and are used for coloring materials like cotton. They are commonly used in the textile industry. 

Natural dyes :

Natural dyes are derived from sources in nature and may include substances like indigo, turmeric, or cochineal. While these dyes have a historical and cultural significance, they often present limitations in terms of color range and fastness.

Acid Dyes:

Perfect for coloring protein fibers like wool and silk, acid dyes are highly soluble in water. They are not suitable for materials like cotton but work well for leather and medical products.

Synthetic Dyes:

Man-made and chemically produced, these dyes come in a wide range of colors. They are used in many industries due to being affordable, but they can be harmful to the environment and humans.

Reactive Dyes:

Best for cellulose, protein, and polyamide fibers, these dyes are easy to use and have good light-fastness properties. They are popular in the textile industry.

Solvent Dyes:

Modern and non-toxic, these dyes are used in upcoming textile mills. They are convenient but may be more expensive. Solvent dyes are seen as alternatives to traditional harmful dyes.

Food Dyes:

Added to food to make it look attractive, food dyes come in various forms. It’s important to use them carefully as excessive consumption can lead to health problems. They are either natural or artificial.

Application of Dyes:

Textiles: Dyes are extensively used in the textile industry to color fabrics, clothing, and other textile products. They can be applied through various methods such as dyeing, printing, or painting.

Plastics: Dyes enhance the appearance of plastic products, providing them with a wide range of colors and finishes.

Printing: Inks, whether for traditional printing or modern digital printing, often contain dyes to produce vibrant and accurate colors.

Food: Food dyes are used to add color to various food products, making them visually appealing. These dyes can be natural or synthetic.

Industrial Use: Dyes find applications in various industrial processes, including coloring materials like leather, creating inks for pens and printers, and contributing to the production of a wide array of products.

I want to make a BJD wig with raccoon stripes in the hair, but I wasn't sure which method would work best on tencel so time for science.

Results:

Left to right: Rit Dye, Rit Dyemore, Gouache, Acrylic, Alcohol ink, Pastel

Rit Dye works on tencel, but it's too hard to control for this stripey hair design I want.

Rit Dyemore doesn't stick. Wasn't really expecting it to stick super well since tencel isn't 100% synthetic. but threw it in the batch just to have results

Gouache somehow both doesn't stick and makes the tencel very crunchy??? Also gouache can be reactivated with water. Low key baffled someone said they've colored a wig with gouache

Acrylic works very well. It got a little crunchy on the stripe I used the most paint on, but it feels soft enough on the other two. I can probably use a lighter hand since I am using black paint. It doesn't really need multiple coarts for opacity.

Alcohol ink works well. Stays soft.

Pastel didn't stick too well.

First Night in Bangkok

Christopher Hitchens once said that however hard you try to avoid cliché, visiting communist Czechoslovakia forces you to reference Kafka at some point.

Anyways, Bangkok really is a fucking trip, man. I feel like I died two days ago and reincarnated in a William Gibson novel. So very much.

Inhuman cybercapital futurity assembling itself in a thousand gleaming Hong Kong-domiciled gigabanks and digital nomad cafés and dancing girls as it chokes old Buddhist temples and shantytowns and struggling palms in a traumatically transcultural miasma of a myriad reactive nitrous oxide species coughed up by a million two-stroke motors.

After a brief nap in my luxury burbclave hotel, security guard and English-fluent beaming hotel staff staff at post, me trying to do battle against 15 timezone hours' worth of jetlag, I register for the first time that I've been dissociating. I'm hobbling around on the air cast I wear for my foot sprain and a collapsible Walgreens cane, of the kind I imagine two-bit hustlers using to beat drug dealers poaching on their turf. But I'm in my favorite mass-market synthetic ink tie dye shirt, made somewhere in Central America I don't recall off hand, my blue tourist shorts, and my Buddhist beaded mala, engraved with Sanskrit I cannot read, on plastic draw string, so hopefully everyone knows I'm a chill dude.

I am in an eight floor mega shopping mall. There are robots serving white frat boys and dutiful waiters in white masks who could be robots serving local Thai prep school kids in sky blue school uniforms 500 baht sirloin steak dinners.

There are as many languages spoken here it feels like as New York City. And hotels, restaurant, massage parlors, tailors, purpose built to pander to rich Arabs, rich Chinese, rich Americans.

There is a strange amodernity to all the floating signifiers. White spring break kids approximating Thai names and wai hand clasps. Chinese shirts with a Markov chain’s chants of floating English prestige nonsense. Transcontinental fake gold watch arbitrageurs. More virtual market makers than a Jersey City server farm somehow spun up and cast into human form.

Sub-orbital resort vacationers in one corner. The state messages of the network monarch on a giant billboard overlooking a four-story expressway overpass on another. Everyone communicating in signs, gestures, and humble Buddhist bows. Hindu, Christian, Mormon, Jew, Shiite, Sunni, and so many Buddhists, all sitting and eating and shopping and praying and coughing and sputtering and fucking and bowing to one another at the end of the world before the self-aware chatbots reconstitute all the anthropomass on the third rock from the nuclear furnace. And of course, on TV, a narcissistic reality TV star in orange bronzer and an oversized navy blue Brioni suit and red tie is inaugurated president of the United States for a second time.

And my $4 dinner, served by surgically masked waitstaff at the shopping mall of the omega point. The terminal object in the category of mass market commercialism. Another floating signifier: a featured photo on Wikipedia of beautiful Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where I've actually been, here mobilized as a metonym for the kind of steak restaurant this place is supposed to be. Of course, probably no one who works here has been to America. It reminds me of Gilles Deleuze’s characterization of capitalism as an inherently deterritorializing process—one that makes every place into every other place, until no one knows where they are.

And the strangest thing is that somehow, between the tourists trying to immerse themselves in the fakery, and the shop workers trying to perform, something genuine is created, even though the thing the performance refers to is fake—and everyone knows it.

Actually, maybe the craziest moment was when I was walking past the clothing hawkers. Of which there were just so unbelievably many. And they were selling wildly unlicensed branded merch for Luis Vuitton and Ralph Loren and Balenciaga and GUESS, etc. Some of them laughably implausible. But others effectively the real thing. The Asian tourists love those in particular. And I asked myself, “how did these knockoffs get so good?”

And then I remembered: Thailand is the place where all of this crap actually gets made! It’s all outsourced to here. They’re just cutting out the middle men seeking rent on the brand. And so I’m not really sure who’s the fraud here. Is it the unlicensed shirt hawker trying to take me for a ride and fudge their “tax” calculations? Or is it the Italian fashion house trying to charge me 20x what it costs the Thai sweatshop workers to make?

I see a case for each.

Obviously not JUST Thailand makes this. There’s also Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Honduras, Costa Rica, etc. All the groveling satellite states trying to scramble up the value-added ladder that capital and IP and telecom flows have turned into the 21st century's Manchester. All part of that big globalized textile mill.

Anyways, I got a pretty nice white dress shirt for like $15 and a truly label-less white bucket hat for $5. And I’m almost sure I got taken for a ride, but I was waaay too tired to haggle, and anyways, by any standard of justice as globalized as these clothing flows, I'm the one taking them for a ride.

I message my mother, half way around the world. It's 7:30 AM on the Eastern Seaboard of the US. It's 7:30 PM here in Bangkok. My mother says, "Keep your wits about you, man. You have to play the haggle game. It's in your Albanian blood. My grandmother would have taught you plenty, had she been there."

I can't help but think that they’d have been like, “no, please! Just take it! For free!! ” after 3 minutes of that. Those Bangkok street hagglers have never met an Albanian orphan.

Gonna go to a Buddhist temple tomorrow. First, tonight, a cocktail bar overlooking the city. In my $1000 black John Varvatos jacket with the Mandarin collar over the $15 off-brand shirt I just bought.

[daftpatience]

oh i have another question ! would it be difficult to make your own ink ? imagine making some paper from grass/leaves and using the liquid (boiled down and adding some gum arabic) to make ink and writing down on it :looking: . looking at pen & ink shops has really blown my mind tbh ! there’s so many bright colours and a sparkly two two chromatic inks i didn’t think could be possible (looking at Diamine Shimmer, Troublemaker and Cult Pens Exclusive)

honestly i have no idea!! there are so many really cool ways to make ink, but since fountain pens are easy to clog and require an extremely fine pigment/dye particle size, i think you'd have to look into what ink making methods would be suitable!

UPDATE as ive done some reading!! apparently it is both easy and rather uncomplicated to make fountain pen ink after all! that being said it's still good to be careful and research before you try an ink out. there are a lot of important factors to consider like acidity and reactivity with the pen materials. plus, a lot of simple recipes aren't gonna last long or be very lightfast! you don't really wanna leave egg yolk in your pen for a long time, etc.

i found this writeup pretty neat!

[aran-made]

A couple of the designs I have available in my Spoonflower shop including a quilt that I made with one of my fabric panels.

A couple of the designs I have available in Art of Where shop including a quilt I made from one of my fabric panels.

Some stuff in my Sociey 6 shop.

Some of my designs in my Zazzle shop.

My designs on RedBubble.

& AranMade designs on Contrado.

I've been doing more digital designing lately since I injured my elbow and knee. Since I have all these designs, I started uploading them to many print-on-demand sites. It's been an interesting process. Some sites function better than others, but they all seem clunky.

My thoughts so far on the various print-on-demand marketplaces.

Spoonflower - I've purchased fabric yardage and a throw pillow cover from them. I used some of that fabric in the quilts and tote bags I made for my nieces.

I've been pleased with what I've received and the time it takes to make and ship. I've made a couple of quilts for gifts with my fabric panels from there, but I'm curious how the fabric will hold up over time. I think it will fade more because it's a direct ink printing process.

& Art of Where - I've purchased fabric yardage from them to make quilts. Their natural fabrics are dyed with reactive dyes, so they have much richer colors that don't fade as much.

They are, however, very slow to make and ship. My experience so far has been 3-4 weeks from the time of order until I receive it. But the print quality of their fabric yardage is excellent, so this is who I'm mainly using to print my quilt top panels.

Society 6 - I've ordered a rug from there before, and it's relatively thin, but I liked that about it. I've also ordered prints and been very happy with them. I like some of the home goods options they have on there (like credenzas), but I haven't gotten anything like that, so I'm not sure how the quality is.

Zazzle - I have not ordered anything from there yet, and uploading designs there is quite tedious, so I'm still working on this one. I do like that they have a cotton throw blanket option. I also get a lot of holiday cards from folks printed from Zazzle, so lots of folks must like what they make.

Contrado - I got all their fabric samples, and they have many lovely options! They use three different print methods depending on the material. Their natural fabric yardage is also reactive dye.

I ordered some neoprene with one of my designs to make a knee brace. I still need to make it, but the material looks great, and the print quality is excellent. The time to make and ship was also relatively quick.

Their products are also more spendy than the others on the list, but they are all made to order in the UK, and they make leather handbags and clothes with edge-to-edge print-to-cut methods.

My only issue with their site is that it only works sometimes when I click the link to my store.

luan/ayalon and zabnki/ayalon for the 'if they had a kid' meme!

Kids Meme - Not Accepting ♥

► Name: Gabbara Khaya - "Great Life" ► Gender: Male ► General Appearance:

Foreboding height - around 7 ft 5 in when standing at his fullest. Like Zabnki he has a truer height do to his godhood but keeps it under wraps for the power he expels could damage the country. He is rather muscular by genetics from both parents. He is a natural dusk-brunette from Ayalon by dyes it pinks since he reached 14 in human years.

His face holds four eyes, garnet in iris shade and facial ink-markings that resemble that of Zabnki's own. Unlike the curse that they are for Zabnki however, these markings are his weaponry stains to the flesh. They remove themselves when he summons his golden weaponry from its depths.

The right side of his face is scarred terribly right down from the forehead to his chin. The only warning he got from Zabnki's heavy-hand parenting that gave his son the true meaning of power. Zabnki doesn't talk about the lesson he gave Gabbara but it's one that sticks with him. He wears his scar with pride and understands the lesson well taught.

Like Zab, he also has four arms, though he is also known to wield moth-like limbs that appear during sundown. Almost a metamorphosis from War-God to Insect-God. These limbs work like any other really and he likes their oddity. Makes him feel closer to Ayalon.

Tanned flesh, matching Ayalon more so than Zabnki's paled flesh, tattoos by Ayalon's hands and an attitude that's both of his parents mixed in.

► Personality:

Gab was something akin to a piece of shit since birth. Egotistical and violent with a nature to harm more than bow to nature. Though a buzzing being of life between two power Gods, one more than the other, Zabnki and Ayalon had their hands full of the tyrant of a being. To say that Zabnki was heavy-handed wasn't a lie, he didn't shame or see the pain in harming his child in punishments for their behaviour, but a quarrel between himself and Ayalon about his methods were enough to make his hands less violent to their child and instead, took his time to watch and learn from Ayalon's own methods of Motherhood.

Witnessing the blossoming of two flowers, Zabnki understood over time that Gab only acted the way he did because it made him react, and when Ayalon ignored his son's mischief and only praised his good deeds, the change was quick. Zabnki struggled to look over the child on his own, always quick to snap or threaten harm, but under Ayalon's threatening gaze, he held his actions to himself.

You could say Gab grew with a doting Mother that definitely wore the pants in the house, a powerful weight on his shoulders but with a guiding hand. With Zabnki, it was a reactive boiling pot, ready to spill over, Gab couldn't say why or how it got violent in terms between them but it only took one true battle of the two battle gods to understand why his Father, Zabnki, was very different.

Around the age of 15-17 in human years, Zabnki and Gabbara fought, weaponry and death dance included. In ended up with Gab's face being sliced in near half and impaled by golden weaponry that overpowered his own. He learnt that day, that his Father was not a nurturing God like his Mother, who was capable of destruction and healing, but a being made only for violence and carnage that learnt how to be a calmness under the storm.

That day allowed the two to bond, though Zabnki did get an earful from Ayalon and a banning from the house for a month or so for the harm caused. Still, it was a lesson that made Gabbara re-evaluated himself in attitude. Now he is more arrogant to get a rise from his enemies and an observant giant with a head filled with questions.

► Special Talents:

Tyrant of War - An offspring of the Lord of Dance, Gabbara has the genetic flow of War in his veins, though not a complete War God, he is worshipped as such alongside Zabnki. He holds some title of the battlefield but in a way that's different to the mindless bloodshed. His Dance is more of a Victory Blessing, a divinity of who will win, those that witness his Dance of Golden weaponry and flow of power, as boosted with his blessing, given the birth of flame in their cores and march forward with true trust in the God's roar for war.

He is not the God of War, but a Being of Victory between it all. He is claimed to be a Tyrant however due to his duality of flipping the tables when he is maddened by his chosen side. After all, the Gods are not human friends.

Life & Death connection - is a little more obscured, it's a private thing he and his Mother have together. He takes on the burden of his gifts in the silence of prayer with Ayalon. Learning of his Mother's origins and taking in the strides of their struggles but also the understanding that he is not all powerful as Ayalon, he could be stronger but not with how his mind is at the moment. Still, he takes time in learning his connections to Death and Life, and believes his gifts are more of 'keeping the balance' without putting his hands upon it.

Thus, it's possible to put his abilities and purpose to 'balance to life and death of war' he is the fairness and unfairness of war's destruction but also the bringer of new times for those that survived.

► Who they like better: Ayalon, in terms of emotional connection. ► Who they take after more: Zabnki ► Personal Head canon: He is more insect than the norm, which is due to Ayalon's genes. His species if akin to the Emperor Moth (Saturnia pavonia) ► Face Claim: Ryoma Sukuna from Jujutsu Kaisen

► Name: Jair Souso ► Gender: Male ► General Appearance:

Mop of shaggy cut black and blonde strands, a little longer than Luan's hair but just as thick as Ayalon's own. Jair's adopted Aya's two-tones, liking the way it is but mostly on the ends of his hair at the back and sides, rather than the complete underside of his strands.

His gaze is a mix of green and gold, not really Luan's shade but they share the same eye shape and sharp brow. Jair constantly looks like he hasn't slept for 90 years though, Luan's not sure who's that's off.

Lanky but fit in the sense of having good meat on his bones. Angled chin and filled cheeks - stubble is limited but often mostly gold wisps.

He is just under Ayalon's chin, making him taller than Luan but not too much.

Skin tone is rather pale but can easily be flipped into a bronzed tan from the sun. He does have patches of high pigmentation in his neck and around his knuckles and back of the hands. These tend to be a form of 'freckles' when exposed to sunlight for a long time.

► Personality:

Could say moody - but more honestly a quiet child. He likes to keep to himself and live in his own bubble of thoughts. Avid reader type but without books, more phones and tablets these days. He's quiet the nerd in his hobbies of graffiti art and urban drawings. He's a big fan B/an/ksy's pieces and will often replicate them for himself in his notebook. He follows Ayalon in the department of art talents, but doesn't want to go into the tattooing world. Jair's more interested in large canvases and secret painting jobs to let his sing for itself.

His art tag is a purple Silk Moth.

Out of his shell, he's amazingly talkative, rambles with ideas that flow and will often trip himself up in verbal release when he gets too into it. Slowing him down takes only a drink or a meal to make him chew or swallow between thoughts.

Jair's easy to get along with even if the first meeting will seem like he isn't interested but he just has a wall up to keep his bubble to himself in social situations most the time.

► Special Talents:

Eyes of Rebirth, as simple as it sounds, his gaze as haunting and dead as it can be - is in fact able to witness the flow of the soul's journey. Knowing exactly when and where their soul will end up in the next life. Be it into the core of a woman's stomach passing by, a flower upon the sidewalk or into the clouds where it'll be torn apart within a scattering of pieces to be mixed with others and reborn another time.

Jair's vision is colours through the souls of others, thus the closer someone is to Death the greyer his world is. Only when they do die and the soul exposes itself, does his colour return in the burst of it going elsewhere.

He isn't really able to do much about the souls, though he can touch them, hold and caress, he doesn't really know what else to do. He feels limited in his ability but thinks of it as enough to allow himself some kind of peace in aiding some souls go skyward or holding onto the darker souls of those that committed crimes. He won't say if he eats them, but he eats them.

► Who they like better: Ayalon for his art things, Luan for conversation ► Who they take after more: Luan, in the human department of excitement and exploration. ► Personal Head canon: He's more human than God, but his eyes are special. He likes to keep his abilities to himself, especially around Luan since he is fully human and he doesn't want to speak of his own parent's soul colour yet. ► Face Claim: Towa from Slow Damage

Why Dyes and Pigments are Essential for Paper Coloring and Finishing

Most people have wondered how the sheets of paper acquire their beautiful colors or why certain sheets are glossy and vibrant, while others look so plain. The answer lies in the magic of dyes and pigments. These colorants are the heart of the paper industry, making sure that everything from packaging and books to decorative and specialty papers looks exactly how it’s supposed to. Let’s take a closer look at why they matter so much and how they make a difference.

What Exactly are Dyes and Pigments?

Dyes are like a liquid that seeps into the fibers of the paper. Because they are soluble, they spread evenly, creating bright, bold, and consistent colors. Imagine some highly colored pages of magazines or colored wrapping papers; those often use dyes. Examples of such dyes are acid dyes, direct dyes, and reactive dyes.

Pigments, on the other hand, are tiny particles that coat the surface of the paper. They are not soluble, so they sit on top and create a layer of color. Pigments are ideal for papers that require durability, have a luxuriant opacity, or can be fade-resistant, such as high-quality cardstocks or coated paper.

Why Are Dyes and Pigments So Important?

It’s hard to imagine the paper industry without dyes and pigments. They’re not just about making paper look good; they serve many purposes that are crucial for different types of paper.

1. They make Paper look Attractive

First impressions matter, and when it comes to paper, color plays a huge role. Bright, consistent colors can make packaging pop, stationery more elegant, or decorative papers stand out.

Dyes, like acid dyes and reactive dyes, penetrate deep into the fibers, making the colors vibrant and uniform. This is why they are often used in things like decorative paper or specialty applications.

Pigments are excellent for surface coloring and adding opacity. If you’ve ever noticed the bold look of coated papers or high-quality cardstocks, that’s pigments doing their job.

2. They Help Customize Paper for Different Uses

Each paper type is meant to fulfill a specific purpose, and dyes and pigments help modify it for that.

Packaging papers need colors that are durable and fade resistant, so pigments are commonly used here.

Writing and printing papers use direct dyes because they provide even coloring and are easy to print on.

Specialty papers, such as those used for currency, security documents, or high-end decorative purposes, require unique combinations of dyes and pigments for their specific needs.

3. They Add Functional Benefits

Colorants do more than just add beauty. They also enhance the functionality of paper.

UV Resistance: Some pigments, especially inorganic pigments, protect paper from fading in the sunlight. This is important for outdoor applications or items like posters and banners.

Water Resistance: Some dyes and pigments make paper resistant to moisture, which is useful for things like outdoor signage or packaging.

Better Printability: By improving the surface properties of paper, dyes and pigments help ensure that ink adheres properly and printing looks crisp and clear.

Types of Dyes Used in the Paper Industry

The paper industry uses different types of dyes depending on the application. The following are some of the most common ones:

1. Acid Dyes

These are known for their bright, vivid colors.

They are typically used for decorative and specialty papers where eye-catching colors are a must.

2. Direct Dyes

They go well through the fibers and give even and smooth coloring. Direct dyes are very good for this.

These are commonly used in writing and printing papers.

3. Reactive Dyes

Reactive dyes bond strongly with the fibers, making colors more vibrant and long-lasting.

These are ideal for high-quality and specialty papers.

Explore the detailed comparison between direct dyes and reactive dyes, uncovering their unique properties, applications, and benefits to help you choose the right option for your needs.

Types of Pigments Used in the Paper Industry

Just like dyes, there are different types of pigments, each with unique properties.

1. Organic Pigments

These are made from carbon-based molecules and offer vibrant colors.

However, they’re not as durable as inorganic pigments.

2. Inorganic Pigments

Made from minerals or metals, inorganic pigments are known for their durability and opacity.

Examples include titanium dioxide which gives a bright white finish and iron oxides used for earthy tones.

Shifting Towards Eco-Friendly Solutions

The paper industry is becoming more aware of its environmental impact, and many companies are now switching to sustainable practice.

Low-impact dyes: These use less water and fewer chemicals during production.

Eco-friendly pigments: These provide the same quality but with a smaller environmental footprint.

Companies are constantly working to create products that are both high-performing and sustainable. This shift not only helps the environment but also meets the growing demand for greener options in the market.
