The importance of pigment diversion in printing inks

Abstract

A fundamental aim of ink manufacture is to alter the physical properties of the pigment, i.e. break down the aggregates and agglomerates of particles that exist in any pigment in its normal form. This procedure is referred to as “dispersion” and a lot of time and money is spent by inkmakers to ensure that it is done adequately and efficiently. A printing ink is, therefore, rather more than just a mixture.
