Analysis Questions:
1. Some patterns I noticed were that colors were deeper on the fabric with dye fixer, and bleached cotton and polypropylene were the best at holding color.
2. The dye fixer allows the color to stick more onto the fabrics making the color more vibrant. This can be seen below in how in comparison with tap water, the dye fixer fabrics are brighter and look to be longer lasting.
3. This is because the dye fixer is made to allow the color and fabric to interact with tighter bonds so that water cannot wash them off.
