Printer inks, also known as printing inks, are essential components of any printing process. However, sometimes it becomes inevitable to refer to these inks by different names, depending on their color, composition, or printing technology. For instance, dye-based inks, which deliver vibrant colors and high resolutions, can be described as photo inks. Pigment inks, which are water-resistant and long-lasting, are also called UV-resistant inks. Similarly, solvent inks, used in large-format printing, are also known as eco-solvent, mild-solvent, or hard-solvent inks. Other synonyms for printer inks include sublimation inks, textile inks, archival inks, latex inks, and toners (used in laser printers). Knowing these synonyms can help you select the right ink for your printing needs.
