I know that paint doesn’t work well with TPU and that the typical way to color a piece is with dye. Does anyone have experience decorating prints that will see heavy use? Like if I wanted to use multiple colors, can dyes be brushed on similar to how one might hand paint a model? Is there a better way to do what I want?

    the color scheme is CMYK not rbg

    You mean for the dyes? I thought this color schemes were for representing colors on a screen, not for physical dyes.

      RBG is the digital. CMYK is print and paint.

      edit to clarify: RBG is additive color. Think of it as RBGW leds- when you mix light from the source, red blue and green =white. CMYK is subtractive, IE, the color you see is what’s left behind after it hits a surface and bounces off. this is why when you mix red green and blue paint, you get brown, rather than black.
