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.

There are two main types of pigments on the market. The organic pigments and the inorganic pigment types. Inorganic pigments are natural substances based on minerals. These pigments are affordable because the preparation and washing process of these types is normal and simple. On the other hand, organic pigment types are gaining popularity in the ink manufacturing industry. One of the main reasons for their popularity is that they are non-toxic and therefore do not violate environmental rules. Some other properties of organic pigments are:

✴Stable

✴Opaque

✴Economical

✴Continuous

✴Bright

✴Pure

✴Heat resistant and

✴Good coloring power

What do you Know About Eco-Solvent Ink?

Eco-solvent ink, or environmentally friendly solvent ink, is a new type of outdoor solvent inkjet with high safety, low volatility, low toxicity and high flash point that has been popular in the outdoor solvent-based digital inkjet market in recent years. Ink, its development has not stalled. At present, some people have put forward higher requirements and developed it into a green solvent outdoor inkjet. It is required to have a boiling point higher than 150°C and a closed cup flash point higher than 65°C. As a   Uv Ink Manufacturer , I would like to share with you. ESL Eco Solvent Ink Advantage Compared with solvent-based inks, the biggest advantage of eco-solvent inks is environmental friendliness, which is mainly reflected in the reduction of volatile matter VOC and the elimination of many toxic organic solvents, which are no longer needed in the production workshop of eco-solvent inkjet printers. Ventilation device. Eco-solvent ink not only maintains the advantages of high-pre...

How do you know which ink to use for your printer?

If you are using a new printer for the first time, you may not be familiar with the type of cartridges your printer uses. Each printer uses a specific printer cartridge family for printing. The printer cartridge family is identified by the printer brand name and cartridge number. 1. The easiest way to determine which cartridges are appropriate for your printer is to turn on the printer and see which cartridges are currently in the machine. 2. If there are no cartridges inside the printer, you can search for the printer model on the manufacturer's website. The manufacturer's page for your printer should contain a list of compatible cartridges. 3. You can also refer to the printer user guide that came with your machine to identify the cartridge series.    Recognizing individual Cartridges for Epson As you know, each type use individual cartridges for Epson printers , which means that each cartridge contains a specific color of ink. This is different from HP's thre...

Solvent Dye Sublimation Ink

Solvent dye sublimation inks are basically pigments suspended in an oil base, but of course there are other stabilizers and surfactants in the mix. Solvent inks may contain a chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer at 2-6%, a polymeric amide at 0-4%, a ethyl acetate at 0-4%, 2-methoxy-1-mthylethyl at 0-1.25%, N-butyl acetate at 0-2.5%, and Butan-2-OL at 0-0.5%. There will also be a distillate at 0-3%, and at least one subliminal disperse dye at a rate of 0.25% to 9%, which must be insoluble in either an included ether or acetate. Propylene glycol must be included in the range of 0% to 2%, and an additional acetate will make up 78% to 95% of the solution. This entire solvent based dye sublimation ink solution must, when mixed properly, be able to flow through the head of an ink jet printer in order to function properly.   Aqueous Dye Sublimation Ink In aqueous dye sublimation ink, water is the solvent in which the pigments and other ingredients are suspended, and the water will typically m...
