The technology in Fauna ink is a proprietary, in-house technology to a specific way we are able to disperse the colorant, either it being pigment or dye-sublimation. We can coat the colorant in a specific way to allow for maximum optical density, maximum color gamut.

We are able to potentially produce more colors using a CMYK format where other competitors might have to use a light cyan or light magenta as well.

It could also be included in our formulations as well but we try to reduce the amount of inks that the customer has to work with because, you know, the old saying is “the more moving parts, the easier for is something to break.
