Photo printing: When inks ain't inks
By Calvin Siew 27/01/2005
In the world of photo printing, the market is invariably moving toward more
affordable and better quality outputs. It may come as a surprise, but in a
system that's often judged based on the performance of the hardware, the most
important part of the whole printing system is really the inks. These little
drops of liquid can affect everything from print speeds to something as insignificant
as paper curls.

carved up into two groups. The dye-based ink advocates and the pigment-based
proponents, namely Epson. Depending on whom you talk to, each will claim superiority
over the other. So which one is the right one for you?
