Pigment is a kind of insoluble granular coloring material;Ink particles stay on the surface of the paper.Because of the insolubility of water, vagueness can be reduced even in wet conditions.In addition, the color is stable immediately after printing and relatively insensitive to environmental factors;The storage stability of printed materials is excellent.However, care needs to be taken when printing on smooth paper, as the ink may fall off if scratched.

Dye Ink

Dye is a kind of water-soluble coloring material.The ink soaked into the paper with the water from the ink.Ink on the paper will not leave a rough feeling, printing effect will be more vivid than pigment ink.However, depending on the paper used, when the paper is wet, the ink that seeps into the paper may mix with the water, resulting in a blur.
