Inks Analysis Service

Ink is an organic or inorganic pigment or dye dissolved or suspended in a solvent. Based on the colorant used, inks are divided into two classes: pigment ink and dye-based ink. Pigment ink is waterproof ink that makes it "stick" permanently to paper and run very little because they can't dissolve completely in water. Pigment inks are very expensive and can't offer the same brightness and color vibrancy as dye ink. Dye-based inks tend to be cheaper and water-soluble. Dye ink generally takes more time to dry and results can be poor if a drop of water hit a page. But dye ink gives brighter colors.
