Pigment inks are a type of ink made from tiny particles of color that are suspended in a liquid. Unlike dye-based inks, which dissolve in the liquid, pigment inks remain solid and provide better resistance to fading and water. This makes them ideal for printing photographs and artwork that need to last over time. These inks are commonly used in inkjet printers and are favored for their vibrant colors and durability. They adhere well to various surfaces, including paper, canvas, and textiles. However, pigment inks can sometimes require longer drying times compared to dye-based inks.
