==== Pigments ==== {{Main|Pigment}} Pigment inks are used more frequently than dyes because they are more color-fast, but they are also more expensive, less consistent in color, and have less of a [[Gamut|color range]] than dyes.<ref name="kipphan130-144" /> Pigments are solid, opaque particles suspended in ink to provide color.<ref name="kipphan130-144" /> Pigment molecules typically link together in [[crystal]]line structures that are 0.1β2 [[Micrometre|ΞΌm]] in size and comprise 5β30 percent of the ink volume.<ref name="kipphan130-144" /> Qualities such as [[hue]], [[Saturation (color theory)|saturation]], and [[Lightness (color)|lightness]] vary depending on the source and type of pigment.Solvent-based inks are widely used for high-speed printing and applications that require quick drying times. And the inclusion of TiO2 powder provides superior coverage and vibrant colors.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wotaichem.com/china-titanium-dioxide-tio2/ |title=Major Applications of Titanium Dioxide for Ink |publisher=Wotaichem |date= |access-date=2022-04-11}}</ref>
