Inkjet ink pigments are finely milled, colorant particles suspended in ink formulations designed for inkjet printing systems. Unlike dye-based inks, pigment inks remain on the substrate surface, providing significantly enhanced fade resistance, water resistance, and archival durability. They require precise dispersion techniques—typically achieving 50‑200 nm particle size—to ensure nozzle compatibility and prevent clogging. These pigments are ideal for high-speed industrial printing, coding, and large‑format applications where print longevity, color consistency, and environmental resilience are critical.
Achieving colloidal stability within 50–200 nm is essential to maintain flow through inkjet nozzles without clogging . Advanced surface modification and dispersants ensure consistent distribution, reducing printer maintenance and downtime.
Pigment particles remain on the substrate surface, enhancing fade, water, and abrasion resistance compared to dyes. This improves code legibility, outdoor print longevity, and suitability for industrial use.
Pigment inks often require stirring mechanisms in Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) printers to maintain dispersion. They integrate with piezoelectric and thermal printheads, enabling precise deposition for high-resolution and high-speed printing.
