Topic: Translucent or solid color

Hi,

I've ordered some colorant for the first time and I was wondering what determines the color density most?

I can imagine that translucent pellets + color = translucent filament and solid pellets + color = solid filament, or is it more colorant = more solid color, or are there even different types of colorant?

Any experiences?

Re: Translucent or solid color

More colorant = more solid color.
Less colorant = more translucent, but also weaker color.
