distinguished according to the use, can be divided into two kinds: one is, water-based ink,

is to water and water-soluble solvent as the main component of soluble color base,

the other is, oily ink, is to non-water-soluble solvent as the main component of dissolved

color base. According to the solvent solubility to distinguish, can also be divided into

three kinds, dye ink: it is based on dye color based ink, most indoor photo machine is in use;

pigment ink: it is pigment color based ink, used for outdoor printing machine. eco solvent ink:

somewhere between them, used in outdoor photo machines.

can only use weak solvent ink and solvent ink, because the machine is installed, water-based

machine and oil machine ink cartridges, pipe, nozzle is different, so the ink can not be used randomly.
