Advantages of DURABrite Ultra Pigment Ink—Ideal for Printing Everyday Documents
DURABrite Ultra pigment ink uses an exclusive Microencapsulation 
technology where each pigment particle is encased in a resin. A unique 
polymer pulls the particles apart so they are suspended in the solution 
and never coagulate.  The ink base then helps the DURABrite Ultra 
pigment ink pigment particles penetrate into the paper.  
Using this technology, DURABrite Ultra pigment ink offers these 
printing advantages: 
1.  Extra-sharp text and graphics on plain paper:  Because 
conventional dye-based ink acts much like a watercolor paint, its 
molecules are absorbed into plain paper. The spreading of ink into 
plain paper’s fibers is referred to as feathering. 
 
DURABrite Ultra pigment ink pigment particles “rest” near the 
surface of the paper and are not absorbed into the fibers like 
conventional dye inks. DURABrite Ultra pigment ink produces a 
much smaller spot size than dye-based ink,  resulting in sharper 
output on plain paper. This applies to both text and graphics. 
2.  Double-Sided prints without bleed-through:  DURABrite Ultra pigment ink uses a special technology that 
controls the penetration level of the ink and keeps the colorant near the surface. Additionally, output on plain and 
matte papers is optimized with a higher optical density, which means your customers will get darker blacks.   
3.  Brighter colors:  DURABrite Ultra pigment ink uses an innovative formulation of color inks, producing brighter 
output on plain, matte, and glossy paper.
With these advantages, DURABrite Ultra 
pigment ink is an ideal solution for 
consumers who generally print everyday 
documents. Customers can achieve 
outstanding output, even on plain paper, 
when printing greeting cards, reports, labels, 
web pages, resumes, menus, and more. 
With the added improvements for printing on 
glossy papers, the DURABrite Ultra pigment 
ink is the ideal solution for customers who 
want one printer to produce everyday 
documents and photos: it combines the best 
of both in one ink set. 
With the same size ink droplet, 
DURABrite Ultra pigment ink has 
a smaller spread into plain paper’s 
fibers than dye-based ink
