Printing technology has made remarkable advances in the development of inks specifically designed for landscape photography (or any picture). 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.
