Formulating Pigmented Inkjet Inks More Easily by Using Tailor-made Pigment Dispersions

摘要

The growing market for inkjet printing in outdoor applications and digital photo printing is creating a need for inkjet inks with high water and light fastness. Such properties can be achieved by using pigmented inkjet inks. For the formulator the following questions arise: Which pigments give the best results? What is the right method for dispersion? Which technology should be used for proper stabilization of dispersed pigments?rnThis paper will give an answer to these questions and show how Degussa Gas Blacks and newly developed dispersions help to make the formulation of pigmented inkjet inks easier.
