| Ink Technical Information
The ink used in the I-Jet freeflo inking system is of the highest standards available. In fact it is "original ink". Two types of ink exist. This is "pigmented" ink or "dye" ink. Simply stated, pigmented ink will never fade (for at least 20 years) and would be ideal for use in the printing of faxes and legal documents.

Pigment-based ink Advantages |
Compatible with a wide variety of print media - fewer problems with streaking, drying and "puddling" than pigmented inks
Some dye-based inks have more brilliant colors and greater color gamut than some pigmented inks
Often dry much faster than pigmented inks |
Inherently greater longevity than most dye-based inks - particularly when used in 6-ink printers
May have less instability reactions to various coatings, thus producing greater longevity with a greater variety of coated media
More water-resistant than most dye-based inks |
