WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DYE INK, PIGMENT INK AND SUBLIMATION INK?
Inkjet printer inks can be roughly divided into three types: Dye Ink, sublimation ink and pigment Ink . In fact, all inkjet printer inks used in the home and most businesses use a similar formulation. Now I briefly introduce them to you. 1.Dye Ink The dye in the dye-based ink dissolves in water like sugar does in water completely. It’s also known for easily obtaining saturated, brilliant colors due to its small molecular size, 1.5-4 nanometers. Because of this, dye-based inks flow better and have been the standard in inkjet printers. But the dye will re-dissolve and the ink will flow across the paper if drops of water hit the paper. For normal document printing on inkjet paper, photo paper, PVC card etc, we would recommend dye ink as it is much economic compared to pigment ink. 2.Pigment Ink Pigment inks use tiny particles of colored material to provide ink color, rather than paper-staining dyes. Pigment inks are comprised of tiny, encapsulated particles that sit on...
