Pigment-based inks are based on super-small particles of colorant that float around in a liquid (water, alcohol, etc.). This liquid eventually gets absorbed into the paper and other surfaces, but the pigments don't. They stay on the surface and adhere to the fibers.

This allows pigment inks to be hugely resistant and provide exceptional durability. But this also makes them somewhat dull in color.

To give you a better idea of how they work, you could think of pigment ink as fruit juice. While the liquid on the juice will get absorbed by the material, the small fruit particles will separate from the liquid and stay on the surface. This adds the resilience for pigment inks to be ideal in long-term projects.
