I think the pdf press release is a little confusing because in some 
parts he is talking about the new canon inks and in others he is 
talking about the "new" piezotones which are not new.  What you are 
referring to is the talk about the new piezotones, not the canon 
version.  The old sundance inks had some dye, the new piezotones don't 
(except for some of the blacks).  My suspicion is that the new CANON 
piezotones actually do have some dye. If you read the article carefully 
you will note that he never mentions specifically, he just says they 
are the first "pigmented" inkset set for Canon printers. I think if 
they were ALL pigment that he would have been more clear about it.

I also find that it interesting that they are coming out with a color 
pigmented inkset for the canon; which I cannot help but think back to 
the color piezo days and wonder if they can actually pull that off and 
compete with Generations etc...
