Why pigment cyan matters for your documents

Pigment cyan ink sits on top of the paper fibers, delivering cleaner edges and richer color for both text and graphics. This means better readability on reports, invoices, and presentations, as well as more vibrant charts and logos. In addition, pigment inks typically offer enhanced resistance to water and light exposure, helping your documents stay legible longer on everyday office paper.

Tips to get the most from your ink
