DYE inks
These are water-based inks whose dyes are dissolved in water, similar to the ink cartridges in a school fountain pen.
The disadvantages are: not water-resistant and not particularly lightfast.
The advantage is: dye inks disappear into the surfaces of the substrates and thus the surfaces remain glossy (with glossypaper).
