Dye Sublimation Ink-What's the Difference Between it and Pigment Ink?

Dye sublimation ink is a necessary consumable in dye sublimation printing, and sublimation printing is a common inkjet printing technology in digital printing industry. In our normal inkjet printing process, we must use printing ink. Generally speaking, the inks we use can be divided into two types: one is dye ink and the other is pigment ink. The two properties are not the same, the applicable materials are also not the same. Let's take a look at the differences below:

Water-based dye inks are more brightly colored for indoor photo advertising, document printing, clothing design and dyeing, etc. Dye ink print patterns are not very waterproof, after touching the water, the ink will spread out, the whole picture is invalid. In addition, the dye ink will fade when it is printed. As time passes, the color of the printed image will also fade a little, until it becomes a piece of white paper. The storage time of images printed with dye ink is generally 1-2 years, so those printed with dye ink are only used for indoor use, like indoor X exhibition shelf, advertising posters, most of them are also printed with dye ink. Of course, if you want to preserve the image for a long time, you can also choose to film, film can be waterproof, can be used outdoors.
