One of the most difficult aspects of developing reliable inkjet inks is creating a stable dispersion of particles within the ink. This applies to inks containing pigments for colour applications but equally to inks containing other particles for functional deposition applications, which are becoming increasingly important.

Controlling pigment properties for optimal inkjet results
As inkjet technology progresses, the demand for characterisation of inks as regards their pigment size, the presence of single oversized grains and overall colloidal stability is increasing. Dr Thomas Benen of Microtrac introduces the main characterisation techniques used for inkjet ink dispersions.
