Re: Dye or Pigment ink for my 1160

2004-10-05 by Antonis

John,

I assume you are interested in bw inksets, right? The only dye inkset
available for bw is Lyson's. Everything else is pigment. So your choices
are pretty narrow and depend on what you need to print. Dye inks
do well on glossy media, pigments do best on matte ("watercolor"). 

The 1160 was designed to be used with dyes. Pigments will work on it
too, but may not get all the black density that an inkset is capable of.
However, most people, myself included, have used it with pigments
very successfully. The two most popular inksets for it are the MIS inks
and the Piezotones. You would do well with either, assuming you pick
a good driver or "workflow" method.
