Welcome to Red River Paper's guide to 13" wide photo inkjet printers. The guide covers current model printers, suitable for photographic, art, and graphics reproduction. It includes pigment and dye based printers.
Pigment Inkjet Printers
If your goal is long term print display or maximum possible print life, pigment inks are necessary. Pigment colorants are typically more stable than dye colorant over time. This stability comes at some price; Pigment inks tend to reproduce a smaller color gamut verses dye ink. In addition, pigment ink prints are more prone to handling damage, especially with matte and fine art media.
