Disadvantages
- Most inkjet printers are slow compared to dye-sublimation or Fujifilm’s PG-series.
- Prints are less durable than prints from other printer types
- Prints from pigmented ink printers are subject to metamerism, where colors appears to shift noticeably under different light sources
- Some inkjets struggle when printing open shadow detail
