Pigment-based ink

Pigment-based ink contains tiny solid particles (pigments) suspended in a liquid carrier, which adhere firmly to paper fibers. This creates vibrant, durable, and water-resistant prints that resist fading over time. Unlike dye-based inks that dissolve into paper, pigment inks sit on the surface, providing excellent longevity and color stability. They are ideal for archival quality printing, fine art, and professional applications where durability and color richness are important. While often more expensive, pigment inks ensure professional-grade output with enhanced resistance to environmental factors such as light and moisture.
