Manufacturers such as Epson, Canon, and HP have pioneered the creation of pigment-based inks that produce incredibly bright and long-lasting prints. These inks are comprised of microscopic particles floating in a liquid basis, providing a wider color range and better fade resistance than dye-based inks. For instance, Epson, well-known for its PrecisionCore technology, may have set an industry standard with its UltraChrome Pro inks. Pigment-based inks improve gloss consistency and decrease bronzing, giving an even smoother and more refined appearance.
