dye sublimation printer
A printer that produces continuous-tone images that look like photographic film. Also called a "thermal dye printer," the print cartridge contains a cellophane ribbon with panels of dye the same size as the page to be printed. There are four panels for each print: one each of cyan, magenta and yellow (CMY) and a final clear coat that allows the print to be handled immediately without smudging. Special dye-receptive paper is used.
Because the same amount of ribbon is used no matter how much color is in the image, the cost of ribbon and paper is always the same per print. Consumables for dye sublimation printers generally cost more than for inkjet printers.

What are four types of printers?
laser Dot- Matrix Ink-Jet or Bubble-Jet Dye diffusion printers
What is a dye sublimation used for?
Dye sublimation (correctly is dye diffusion) is used in printing.
What are some of the cheapest dye sub printers?
One can find the cheapest dye sub printers by going on Amazon or eBay to compare prices. One can also purchase the printers on BH Photo Video where they have discounted printers.
Define the term diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. A fair example of diffusion is a small amount of dye being added to a container of water. The dye would slowly spread or diffuse causing the colour of the water to change and the colour of the dye to be equally distributed among the water.
When is Diffusion a movement of a substance?
Drop a drop of food dye in a glass of water and watch. The dye diffuses through out the water, weakening the dye and coloring the water.
Is dye or semiconductor or gas or excimer laser used in laser printers?
Semiconductor laser
How do you use diffusion in a sentence?
The story will be out in public once it'll be diffused on the news this evening.

Why does the line between the dye and the gelatin blur?
The particles of the dye and the gelatin slowly begin to mix because of diffusion. Dye and gelatin, like all matter are made up of tiny particles.
What is the purpose of the glycerol in the loading dye?
It gives density to the sample that we load and also it avoids diffusion of sample
How does the diffusion of food dye in water?
Dye spreads in water via a process called diffusion. Diffusion occurs in fluids (gases or liquids) and it involves particles moving from a high concentration to a low concentration. So in this context the dye is dropped in and spreads from the high concentration (where the dye was dropped in) to the rest of the water as it has a low or nil concentration of the dye in question. This happens until equilibrium where there is an equal concentration throughout the water. That is why it appear to dilute the dye as the final concentration is actually less than that of the original dye as it has spread out. Therefore this effect will be more pronounced in larger bodies of water as it spread through a larger amount of space so it spread out more and therefore less concentrated.
