Photo printer inkjet machines are divided into indoor and outdoor types. The main difference between indoor and outdoor photo printers lies in the types of inks used by the machines, such as eco solvent ink and water-based ink, which are commonly used by photo printer inkjet machines at present. Outdoor eco solvent ink is waterproof and sunscreen, and the color picture printed by the inkjet printer has good weather resistance, It is durable for outdoor application, not easy to fade and fade, that is, we commonly call it oil-based ink. Eco solvent ink has the same outdoor application characteristics as oil-based ink, but it is more environmentally friendly and has less smell than oil-based ink. At present, many photo machines use this type of ink; Indoor water-based ink is not waterproof and does not protect against long-term sunlight. It is usually only suitable for indoor application environment, because it is easy to fade in case of water or rain, and it is easy to fade or fade in long-term outdoor environment.

Eco solvent ink, or environmental protection solvent ink, is a green solvent outdoor ink-jet ink with high safety and low volatility that has become popular in the outdoor solvent digital ink-jet market in recent years. While maintaining the advantages of high picture accuracy produced by water-based ink, it also overcomes the disadvantages of water-based ink such as its harsh requirements on the substrate and its inability to apply the produced picture outdoors. Therefore, eco solvent ink is between water-based ink and solvent based ink, taking into account the advantages of both. Its characteristics are as follows.

1. Beautiful and rich colors, realistic effects, wide color gamut, excellent color expression;
2. Waterproof, wear-resistant, not easy to fade and fade after long-term use;
3. High quality raw materials, high fluidity, good dispersion stability, not easy to plug;
4. Outdoor performance is long-lasting, color restoration is good, can resist the influence of strong light, and prevent color fading;
5. Environmental friendly outdoor ink with small smell.
The main characteristics of water-based ink are low cost, no pollution and bright colors. However, because of the slow volatilization rate of its main component water, the pictures inked by water-based ink are not easy to dry and be absorbed by the medium (it requires that the medium has a special coating). It is mainly applied to coated media with paper and various fibers (cloth). Usually, the pictures made of water-based ink are mainly used indoors because of poor weather resistance.
The large format advertising spray painting pictures printed by the photo printer and other spray printing machines have beautiful and rich colors and realistic effects, which not only achieve the advertising function of products, but also decorate a beautiful landscape in the prosperous commercial era.
