is it the ink on regular printers?
Some printers use only pigmented ink. Others use dye based and then some use a combination of both. Dye based ink is basically water based with a dye added to it. Pigmented ink has a solvent base with dye added. Pigment ink and dye based ink have both advantages and disadvantages. Dye based ink have better colors but pigment are more water and fade resistant. Dye based inks are therefore better for photos. I have a printer that has 4 dye based inks and a black pigment ink. Mine uses the dye based black and colours for pictures and the pigmented black is used for text. So the answer is yes. Pigmented ink is used in some regular printers.
