I know what Fred meant because we talked about this a while back.
Fred uses *pigmented* inks in his printer to give archival qualities to
the prints he does and not the everyday inks which you can buy in the
corner shop.
The supplier he mentioned provides these pigmented inks - but also
produces and supplies the inks (in bulk) if you want/are able to refill
the cartridges which contain the usual vegetable dyes you would be now
using in your printer.
The pigmented inks are not cheap but they do provide archival quality to
the prints.
