Printing
Do I need pigment ink?
No. Standard dye-based inkjet inks work great for indoor stickers, planner products and short-run labels.
Pigment ink is a significant upgrade if you're selling stickers for outdoor use or products that live in sunlight. Pigment resists UV fade far better than dye. If you run a sticker business and want your customers' stickers to look fresh in a year's time, pigment ink on matte vinyl plus lamination is the professional setup.
Pigment ink suits our matte vinyls only. It rubs off our glossy, holographic, clear, metallic and glow vinyls, which take dye-based ink.
