Can you give me simple definition please of the difference between fugitive dyes and dyes which bleed?

Fugitive dyes are natural dyes that fade and/or change color dramatically over a long period of time (usually many years). Some fugitive dyes fade away completely, while others change color, for example, a bright blue fugitive dye might fade to a light tan. They were mostly used to dye fabric before the invention of chemical dyes in the early 20th century. Bleeding of dye colors is the transfer of a dye in fabric to part of the same fabric or another fabric when the fabric is wet. This can occur with older fabrics, and even with cheaper modern fabrics. The mostly likely dye color to bleed is red (although other colors can bleed). Washing white/light colored clothes separately from darker, more deeply dyed clothes is a common way to to avoid having dye from a dark fabric bleeding into a light or white fabric.

WHAT IS sublimation of textiles?

Sublimation of textiles is a printing process where heat and pressure are used to transfer dyes onto fabric. The dyes are converted into a gas without passing through a liquid state, which allows them to bond directly with the fibers of the fabric, resulting in vibrant, long-lasting prints. This method is commonly used to create custom designs on polyester fabrics.

What you mean by bleeding madras?

Bleeding Madras is fabric made by weaving together yarns of different colors together, to form a kind of madras or plaid fabric, wherein the dyes used to color the yarns, are all vegetable dyes. Hence, the finished fabric , when washed, lets the colors run or "bleed", giving the fabric almost a new color with every wash.This property of the fabric is actually a desirable property, and some would buy madras fabric only if it bleeds, and would not consider regular color-fast madras plaid fabric. This is because bleeding madras is considered a novelty item, and a vintage heirloom item.Bleeding madras is mostly woven on traditional handlooms, and is considered an art form.Today's madras fabric and clothing is the modern version of madras. These are color-fast yarns of which the fabric is made, and hence no bleeding of colors takes place.
