Hi~ nice to see you again, my dear friends! As we all know, the majority of
inkjet printers used by designers, businesses, and homes use aqueous (water
based) inks that are dye or pigment based. Dye-based inks use a colorant that is
fully dissolved in a carrier liquid. With pigment ink, color comes from very
fine solid particles that are suspended in the carrier fluid.
For digital printing, someone still do not know how to choose better printing ink for their business. Then I should talk about it. Which one suitable for your inkjet printer - dye ink or pigment ink?
Looking for Decades
How long do you need your prints to resist fade? Is it 10 years, 20 years, 70? Put another way, do you want the prints to resist fade like a professional quality lab print? If your answer to the second question is yes, and if your timeline exceeds 25 years, then you need pigment inks. The science behind pigments allows prints to resist fade for the longest possible time. When you pair pigment inks with high quality inkjet paper and display prints away from bright light, your chances of seeing significant fade before the 50 year mark are low.

Seeking Functionality and Good Looks?
If long-term fade resistance is not critical and your primary need is for bold color and great looks, dye-based inks are a good choice. As a rule, dye inks offer better color gamut and performance compared to pigment inks using the same number of colors. Dye inks will not offer the same fade resistance and in some cases can begin to fade quite rapidly. Because of this possibility, projects such as portfolios, graphic arts presentations, greeting cards, and business materials are ideal. The good news is that Canon and Epson dye inks are vastly improved when compared to ink from 10 years ago. Reports show that even on display, you may see fade resistance stretch into and beyond the 20 year mark with modern dye inks.
Paper's Role
With either ink, the type of inkjet paper used affects fade resistance. Your rule of thumb is that non-reflective papers resist fade longer than ones with reflective surfaces. For example, a matte photo paper print will fade slower than a print on a resin coated photo glossy. This maxim is true regardless of paper's brand name or manufacturer.
Okay, this is all I share you the infromation of choosing digital printing ink. Our company sales many kinds ink - sublimation ink, eco-solvent ink, uv ink, dye ink, pigment ink. If your inkjet printer needs, welcome to contact us at any time.
