What type of dyeing involves immersing the fabric in a dye solution?

The process of direct dyeing involves immersing the fabric in a dye solution, allowing the dye to penetrate the fibers of the fabric uniformly. This technique is commonly used for a variety of fabrics and can produce vibrant and consistent color results. The immersion allows for the entire surface of the fabric to be dyed evenly, leading to a solid color that is often favored in garment manufacturing.

In contrast, resist dyeing involves techniques that prevent dye from adhering to certain areas of the fabric, resulting in patterns or designs rather than a solid color. Application dyeing typically refers to methods where dye is applied to the fabric in specific areas, but not necessarily by immersion in a dye bath. Print dyeing usually involves applying dye in a specific pattern or design on the surface of the fabric, which is typically done using printing techniques rather than immersing the fabric in a dye solution.
