How to choose the best pigments for ink manufacturing?

Ink Dyes Gone are the days when ink dyes represented only black and blue. From pigment blue to pigment green, life is now more colorful with brightly colored inks on the market. Now, what is it that makes ink so vibrant? Well, pigments; these are the life of the ink, so if you want your ink to be popular in the marketplace, you must use the highest quality pigments that are also gradually replacing dyes in the ink manufacturing process. How do you understand which pigments are world class? Any quality pigment must be:

 

Gloss: If the pigment used is glossy, then only the ink created will be bright and vibrant. Therefore when testing the quality of the pigment; you must check its glossiness to ensure that a bright ink is produced. This also ensures that the ink does not surface for a hundred years; making it easy to file documents for a longer period of time.

StableThe pigment must be stable to produce a long-lasting ink. Otherwise, the ink may disappear after one or two uses. The demand for an ink is directly related to its stability. Therefore, to get sustainable business and increase the demand for your brand's ink, you must choose a stable pigment, as it is the most important component of the ink.

Waterproof: This is another remarkable characteristic of any premium pigment. If you want to make durable inks, the pigments you use must be waterproof and smudge-proof. The pigment must have strong adhesion to the medium in order to produce a good ink.

Resistance to adhesion: This property of the pigment means that it will not adhere to other surfaces that have the same pigment. This is important to ensure that text is not wasted when putting stacks of paper together.

Fast drying: last but not least; if you want to catalyze the ink production process, the pigment must dry easily and quickly.
