The other player in the pigment game is HP. HP Pigment inks came out well after Epson establlished its self in the market place.


HP's existing family of Vivera dye-based color inks provides a leading combination of image quality and display permanence. The new HP Vivera pigment inks take this performance a step further by vastly improving display permanence and providing water-resistant (and in some instances, waterproof) output on a wide range of print media.
