The required amount of concrete pigment per square foot heavily depends on the desired color depth and the type of pigment used. Generally, for integral color mixing, which means mixing the pigment throughout the concrete, usage rates can range from 1 to 5 pounds of pigment per 94-pound bag of cement. This translates approximately to 0.016 to 0.08 pounds per square foot for a 4-inch thick slab, assuming a standard coverage rate. It is crucial to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for specific pigment types and desired shades, as concentrations can significantly vary. Adding too little can result in a washed-out color, while too much can affect the concrete’s integrity. Always conduct a test batch to confirm the color before full-scale application to ensure desired outcomes.

Q are pigment ink and dye ink the same thing

No, pigment ink and dye ink are not the same thing. Pigment ink consists of microscopic particles that sit on top of the paper, making it more water-resistant and less likely to fade over time. Dye ink, on the other hand, is absorbed into the paper, offering vibrant colors but potentially leading to quicker fading and vulnerability to water. Pigment ink is preferred for archival quality prints and outdoor materials because of its durability. Dye ink is favored for high-quality photo prints due to its color range and saturation. Each type has its use, depending on the longevity required and the desired effect on print media.
