Water-Based Pigment Inkjet Technology

The most obvious benefit of water-based pigment inkjet technology is its superior print quality. Water-based pigment inkjet technology produces much sharper and vibrant colors than the other technologies. This makes it ideal for printing high-quality photographs and artwork. The vibrancy of the colors, as well as the small details that you can include in your prints makes this type of technology ideal for jobs where quality matters.

Additionally, the ink is water-resistant, so your prints will last longer and resist fading.  Water-based pigment inkjet technology is also more eco-friendly than the other technologies. This is because the ink dries quickly and does not require the use of hazardous chemicals like other printing processes. The ink formulations are designed to allow customers to print food safe packaging using water-based inkjet inks.

In comparison, dry toner, liquid toner, and UV inks all contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which can be harmful to the environment. Furthermore, water-based pigment inkjet technology has a much lower carbon footprint than the other technologies, making it a more sustainable choice. Water-based pigment ink can be used in a wide range of applications where other technologies like UV inkjet printing cannot due to the constraints of Nestle or Swiss compliance.

Another advantage of water-based pigment inkjet technology is that it is cost effective. The ink is less expensive than that of other types of inkjet technologies, and the cartridges last longer. This makes it a great option for those on a budget. The print heads are also more durable, lasting up to 25 times longer than other inkjet printers on the market.

Finally, water-based pigment inkjet technology is a great choice for those who want to print on a variety of surfaces. This is because the ink is designed to adhere to almost any surface, including glossy and matte paper, canvas, wood, metal, and more. In comparison, dry toner, liquid toner, and UV inks are not designed to adhere to certain surfaces, making it difficult to achieve the desired results. 

Some digital printing application will require a water based primer or topcoat to effectively print, but this can be applied either offline or inline on a variety of substrates. The ability to prime materials inline on models like the ArrowJet Hybrid Pro allow customers to reduce costs and open up new material applications with water-based pigment inks that would not have been previously available.

In conclusion, water-based pigment inkjet technology is a great choice for those who want to print high-quality photographs and artwork. It is also more eco-friendly and cost effective than the other technologies, and it can be used on a variety of surfaces. For these reasons, water-based pigment inkjet technology is quickly becoming the preferred choice for professional printing.
