I'd like to know if my Pixma MG2920 uses dye-based or pigment-based ink. Thanks!

Both. Pigment black for text and dye for color printing.

Pigment ink is a dispersion composed of particles. Its minimum particle size is much larger than the molecular diameter of dye base ink , ranging from nanometer to micron. If the true nanometer level is transparent liquid, the micron level usually exists in the form of opaque liquid.
