is this a water based ink? the sales person at Office Depot said it was. null

Question

There are 2 types of ink that printers use: dye based and pigment based. Dyes use very small particles of colourant, dissolved in liquid. They are easy for ultraviolet rays to damage, one of the main mechanisms of light fading in prints. To protect the dyes, it's important they can soak into the surface of the paper. With pigments, which use far larger particles of colourant held in suspension, ultraviolet rays cause much less degradation and it's better if the pigments sit on the surface of the paper, without soaking in. Having said that, the HP 952 ink cartridges are pigment based. They are fade resistant and more water resistant than dye based inks. I hope this helps.

This is water based ink. Don't get documents wet. You'll know right away. Still great ink that dries quickly.
