<P> Dye - based inks are organic (not mineral) dissolved and mixed into a liquid . Although most are synthetic, derived from petroleum, they can be made from vegetable or animal sources . Dyes are well suited for textiles where the liquid dye penetrates and chemically bonds to the fiber . Because of the deep penetration, more layers of material must lose their color before the fading is apparent . Dyes, however, are not suitable for the relatively thin layers of ink laid out on the surface of a print . </P> <P> Pigment is a finely ground, particulate substance which, when mixed or ground into a liquid to make ink or paint, does not dissolve, but remains dispersed or suspended in the liquid . Pigments are categorized as either inorganic (mineral) or organic (synthetic). Pigment - based inks have a much longer permanence than dye - based inks . </P> <P> Giclée (pron.: / ʒiːˈkleɪ / zhee - KLAY or / dʒiːˈkleɪ /), is a neologism coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for digital prints made on inkjet printers . Originally associated with early dye - based printers it is now more often refers to pigment - based prints . The word is based on the French word gicleur, which means "nozzle". Today fine art prints produced on large format ink - jet machines using the CcMmYK color model are generally called "Giclée". </P> <P> In art, foil imaging is a printmaking technique made using the Iowa Foil Printer, developed by Virginia A. Myers from the commercial foil stamping process . This uses gold leaf and acrylic foil in the printmaking process . </P>
