Pigment inks are best for fine art and photo quality prints. Pigment inks are colourfast and remarkably water-resistant (not waterproof – they are still ultimately water-based) so can be used for long-term indoor and short-term outdoor. PIGMENTED INK – Pigmented ink is a much more advanced water-based ink, and is used in nearly all new aqueous inkjet printers eg HP Designjet Vivera ink for Z-series etc, “UV” ink on HP Designjet 5000/5500, Epson Ultrachrome ink, Canon Imageprograf (ipf) etc.Dye printers are generally used for general CAD and poster work. All Whitegold Aqueous Inkjet Media will work on printers that use dye ink for indoor prints only even short-term outdoor use is not recommended. Dye ink fades quite quickly and is not water resistant, hence why pigment ink has largely taken over. Older printers such as HP Designjet 5000 etc may use dye ink. DYE INK – This water-based aqueous ink type uses older technology and is rare in new printers.Aqueous media is generally coated with a special coating to allow the ink to sink in and dry well there is a large range of substrates to choose from. If you are unsure, it is most likely that your printer uses aqueous inks and media.
Examples of these printers are HP Designjet Z-series e.g. Any large format media described as “Aqueous” eg Whitegold Aqueous Inkjet Media will work on printers that use dye or pigment inks. AQUEOUS – This means “containing water” or “water-based” and is the term used in large format printing to describe dye and pigment ink types.Here is a “simple language” glossary of a few jargon terms that might help!
