You are confusing HP's "UV Ink" with UV -cured- ink. HP calls their
pigmented ink "UV Ink" as it resists fading in sunlight.
However, unless you meant the HP 5000, your plotter uses pigmented
black and dye color.
It is water-based. I believe it is water, alcohol, glycerin, and some
other things. Is there any oil-based inkjet ink? I know there is
solvent based inkjet ink.
