Inkjet Inks

Inkjet printing is no longer a consumer technology—it is the backbone of packaging, labels, commercial printing, coding & marking, textiles, and industrial inkjet systems. Carbon black in inkjet must meet the most stringent pigment standards in the entire
printing industry.

Where Aqueous Inkjet Is Used

High-speed commercial inkjet presses

Book & newspaper digital printing

Mailing & addressing systems

Office/home printers

Textile pigment inkjet

Coding & marking (water-based)

Why Aqueous Inkjet Is Used

Safe, non-toxic

Compatible with paper-based substrates

High-speed continuous printing

Ideal for variable data printing (names, barcodes, short runs)

Industry Problems

Fundamental Requirements From Carbon Black

Ultra-fine particle size  (<20–50 nm primary, <150 nm dispersions) superior print quality, long-term stability
Narrow PSD Low impurities protects printheads
Low surface energy stable aqueous dispersion
Zero grit For dispersion stability and preventing printhead clogging,
