Yes Paul, I believe HP did that early on! I don't know if it was to hold down the bleeding, or for more permanence in text printing. The early Media Street pigmented inks used a dye for the additional d-max it offered, that faded away before too long.

The reason for this initially was to hold down bleed in text printing. The presence of carbon would explain some of the black "dye" ink stability we've seen in tests. > > > Paul > www.PaulRoark.com >
