Apollo Ink Water Based inkjet Ink for Outdoors

During 2010, wide format water based inkjet market represented 78% of all large-format printers sold worldwide.
But what is exactly water based ink?
The simple answer is that water based ink is any ink which uses water as a base to carry the pigment. A rule is that for short-term indoor use, water-based inks are fine. However, to protect large-format prints against the elements (water, wind, and sunlight), you should laminate water based inkjet prints if you plan to use them outdoors.
The need to coat media for outdoor applications makes this type of ink not such a popular choice for printing for exterior use.
Fortunately Apollo Ink, an international inkjet ink manufacturer, gave an upgrade to the formula of this type of ink returning it to the track of the demanding digital market.
