Quick drying Ink

X2 Inks are pigmented, oil-based, and designed
specifically for use with X2 printers and supplies.
These inks are formulated to be smudge resistant
and instant drying. The color gamut is based on the
SWOP (Standard Web Offset Printing) standards for
press-quality, color graphics, versatility and easy
color calibration. The inks do not require any special
drying time after printing.
6-color printing adds two tonal inks, Light Cyan and
Light Magenta, to the typical suite of 4-color process
printing (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black). It helps
reduce the gradient perception between dithered
process color shifts, or "smooths out" blended areas
of an image by introducing lighter tones of the colors
that construct the blend. For example, skin tones
appear more true because the color of the dots that
create the image on paper are not as dark from one
percentage to the next.
Because the X2 inks are almost instantly dry when
printed, images can be laminated immediately.
However, X2 prints are NOT waterproof. That is,
they CANNOT be submerged in water or subjected
to running water. Finishing guidelines for outdoor
durability (i.e. prints must be encapsulated) must be
followed when constructing a print for outdoor use.
