Smudge-Resistant Prints DURABrite Ultra pigment ink, like all Epson inks, uses a quick drying formula. Epson prints can be touched without fear of causing smudges, right after printing and beyond. Customers can handle prints without fear of damaging them. Fade-Resistant Prints DURABrite Ultra pigment inks have fade resistant properties that exceed those of photo lab prints and won’t fade as quickly as many competitors’ prints – even on plain paper. With DURABrite Ultra, colour prints will last for generations. Water-Resistant Prints The water-resistant properties of DURABrite Ultra pigment ink prevent accidental damage caused by moisture and spills. Many competitive printers use a water-resistant pigment black, but dye-based colour inks. DURABrite Ultra pigment ink uses pigment-based black and colour inks, and offers water-resistant properties on all supported papers, including plain paper.
