Main differences between PIGMENTED black and DYE black?
I recently refilled a HP #58 photo cartridge, and the kit I purchased, from
Sams club, had CMY PM PC and K colors, the only 2 that were specifically designated PHOTO colors were the Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta. The black (K) was just- BLACK. So from what I understand, since its compatible with lots of other types of printer carts, I'm assuming its a DYE based black, which is pretty much what "photo black" is? As I understand it, the HP #56 requires PIGMENTED black? However, when I refilled my #56 I used this same ink. The results don't seem to be any different than what I saw from the original ink in the cart- But I'm not 100% sure honestly. So if the #56 (black) cart is supposed to be filled with Pigmented black (which I can not find locally, I'll have to order online), and the photo #58 cart is supposed to have Photo black (dye based ink, which I guess is what I have that came in the kits), what is the main difference? I know the Pigmented blacks are much higher from the prices I've seen from online vendors, but I don't know what the difference is. Thanks again -Tom |
