Dye-based ink

Dye-based ink contains color molecules dissolved directly into the liquid ink, allowing for vibrant and bright colors on paper. Because the dyes are fully dissolved, they produce sharp, detailed images and are ideal for printing photographs and colorful graphics. However, dye-based inks tend to be less resistant to water and fading over time compared to pigment-based inks. They are commonly used in home and office printers where vivid color reproduction is valued, but may not be suitable for items that need long-lasting durability or exposure to moisture.
