Ink for an inkjet printer

Ink for inkjet printers - a little about the main things

In the section of consumables for printing, sets and individual monochrome options of inks have been selected, the quality and practicality of which have been appreciated by many regular customers of My Print.

1. Water-soluble photo inks - homogeneous, containing organic pigment. Their advantages include high color reproduction and lower cost compared to pigment analogues. A small disadvantage is the instability of consumables to direct sunlight, ultraviolet rays and water. It is not recommended to use for printing photos and images on regular office paper, as such inks can spread and the image will look messy, with blurred contours. If you combine these photo inks with special paper for inkjet printers or photo paper, which have several layers that are responsible for holding ink and protecting against ultraviolet rays, then the use of water-soluble inks will allow you to make high-quality and bright photos, presentations, brochures and much more.

2. Pigment ink - contains pigment that does not dissolve in water. The particles of organic or artificial origin are very small, but have all the features of a solid - size, shape, volume. In order to prevent the particles of pigment from sticking together, a dispersant is added to the water, which prevents the particles from sticking together and falling out of the sediment.

3. Ink for Epson - because the printer of this manufacturer is often used as a replacement for specialized printers for sublimation printing and heat transfer, a separate line of dyes was developed for them. The size of the dye particles allows them to easily pass through the head holes, extending the life of the cartridges. Can be used for printing documents, photos.

4. Sublimation and heat transfer inks - narrow-profile, designed for transferring the selected image to blanks.

What should ink for inkjet printers be like?

1. The particle size should allow them to pass easily through the printer nozzles without clogging them. This condition is necessary for the device to last as long as possible.

2. Quality - if you do not know what to choose, contact the seller's consultants. Be sure to tell them what you will be using the purchased photo inks for and specify your printer type.

3. It is cheaper to buy a set of inks. If one of the inks runs out faster, you will be able to purchase the missing ink.

Pigment or water-soluble ink?

It all depends on the goals that the buyer sets for himself. If we are talking about refilling a regular inkjet printer, then you can buy two interchangeable cartridges for it and use either water-soluble ink or pigment inks depending on the tasks set.

Specialized printers for photo printing work with ink based on soluble dyes.

Pigment ink is better to buy in the following cases:

• if they will be used for working with standard office paper;

• when making advertising products or products that are negatively affected by external factors;

• if you need clear and bright images with maximum color reproduction, printed on regular paper.

Water-soluble ink is a guarantee of quality and clarity of image transmission when using photo paper of various formats and types. It is also used if the printer has a cartridge that is filled only with water-based ink.

At our store, you will find water-soluble ink for Epson, which has a wide range of uses in the production of souvenir or advertising products.
