Dye Ink
It Is Composed Of A Single Molecule Q With A Specific Chemical Structure, And The Smallest Unit Is Only 1-2nm. The Colorant Of The Ink A Is A Dye Dissolved In Water Or Organic Solvent, And The Dye Molecules Are Completely Dissolved In The Solution.
The Ink Is A Transparent Liquid, Which Can Maintain A Wide Color Gamut And Realize Rich And Bright Colors And Excellent And Outstanding Image Quality.
Pigment Ink
It Is An Aggregate Composed Of Molecules, And The Smallest Pigment Unit Is 50-200 Nm. The Colorant Of Ink Is A Water-insoluble Pigment, Which Is Suspended In Water With The Aid Of Dispersant And Is An Opaque Liquid.
It Can Provide Bright And Bright Colors, Clear And Sharp Black And Excellent Durability, Including Waterproof, Anti-fading, Long Storage Time, Preventing Printing Jam, Prolonging The Life Of Print Head, Etc.
What Is The Difference Between The Two?
Waterproof
The Colorant In The Dye Ink Is Completely Dissolved In The Ink In A Monomolecular Way, And The Colorant Particles Are Small And Easily Soluble In Other Chemical Solvents Such As Water And Fire, Which Makes The Dye Ink Less Likely To Block The Nozzle And Print Smoothly.
Multi-functional Special Polymer Binder Is Used In The Ink, Which Makes The Pigment Have Strong Adhesive Force, And Makes The Print Head Stably Eject Ink Without Blocking. After The Ink Is Dried, The Adhesive Will Form A Durable Protective Film On The Pigment Surface, Which Can Effectively Prevent Water.
Anti-fading Performance
The Dye Colorant Of Ink Is Directly Exposed To The Air, And Under The Action Of Light And Ozone, The Chemical Chain Of Dye Colorant May Break, Resulting In Discoloration Of Colorant, Fading Of Printed Manuscript, Thus Affecting Its Preservation Performance.
Generally, The Colorant Of Ink Is A Highly Pulverized Mineral With High Stability. Besides, The Colorant Is Coated With A Resin Layer, So It Is Not Easy To Fade.
How Should I Choose?
1. Pigment Ink Has More Advantages In Waterproofing And Fading Resistance. However, In Terms Of Bright Colors And Smooth Printing, Dye Ink Performs Better And The Price Is Cheaper.
2. If Documents And Pictures Need To Be Kept For Many Years, It Is Recommended To Choose Pigment Ink. If The Information Used Is Only Temporary, It Is Recommended To Choose Dye Ink, Which Is Not Only Low In Cost But Also Good In Color.
