Digital BW, The Print

Nij,

What about inks which have dye and pigment. It is my understanding to
which pigmented inks are composed this way. Would the dye from a
pigmented ink fade leaving behind the pigment? What would this do? Do
you know how much dye there is in relation to pigment in a pigmented
ink? Does the color shift when this happens?
