Modern Approach in Paper Dyeing

Paper dyeing mechanism has greatly evolved in the last couple of decades. There are new trends emerging in the industry with more sophistication and usability of high speed machines. The new approach is to minimize the use of traditional basic dyes and utilization of large number of specialty modified basic and direct dyes. The coloration techniques have also changed.
