Pigment-Based Inks Pigment-based inks are printing inks formulated with solid pigment particles suspended in a liquid carrier, such as water, oil, or solvent. Pigment-based inks offer several advantages over dye-based inks, including superior lightfastness, water resistance, and archival stability. Pigment particles are insoluble and remain on the surface of the printed material, resulting in sharp, durable prints with vibrant colors and crisp detail.
Pigment-based inks are commonly used in professional printing applications, such as fine art reproduction, photography, and archival printing, where long-lasting, high-quality prints are desired. Pigment-based inks are compatible with a wide range of printing substrates, including paper, canvas, fabric, and synthetic materials, making them versatile for various printing and display purposes. |
