The Loading Dye * Loading dye is a colored buffer mixed with the DNA prior to loading onto the gel. The loading dye contains a relatively high concentration of either glycerol or sucrose. This makes the solution more dense than the surrounding running buffer so that when a sample is pipetted over top of a well it sinks down into the well.
Basically, it turns the ink from a solid, to a gas, bypassing the liquid state, and the gas ink dyes the material, hence the 'dye' in dye sublimation. It's a super-slick way to print photos or anything else on to shirts, license plate frames, clocks, plaques, mugs, or anything else that is sublimation-ready.
