March Issue WDC

Your informative article "How Printing Works" was most interesting and generally well researched and I found it very intriguing. However you repeat a line that I have read elsewhere without (as elsewhere) explaining why ie Dyes versus Pigment inks where you state that the correct type of ink must be used with the printer.

With a printer for dye based inks it is common sense that all those microscopic particles will clog the nozzles fairly quickly.

However it does not seem sensible the other way, since a solution is less likely to clog nozzles made for pigment inks. pigment inks which are an emulsion.

Logically dye based inks should run very well on a printer designed for pigment inks. They don't as I know from actual practice but I can't understand why, do you?
