Q
how to tell if is it pigment or dye ink
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
To differentiate between pigment and dye inks, consider their physical properties and applications. Pigment ink consists of larger, encapsulated particles that sit on the surface of the paper, making it water-resistant and less prone to fading. It's best for printing on matte papers and for projects requiring longevity, like archival documents and outdoor materials. Dye ink, on the other hand, is absorbed into the paper, providing vibrant colors with a smoother finish. However, it tends to fade faster and is not water-resistant. One practical method to test: smear a small amount of ink with a wet finger or cloth. If it smears easily, it’s likely a dye-based ink; if it remains relatively stable, it's probably pigment-based. Additionally, check the manufacturer's specifications, as they often indicate the type of ink.
