As print head and inkjet technology are progressing, the demand for characterisation of inks regarding their pigment size, single oversized grains and colloidal stability is increasing. The size of pigments has an impact on factors like printability, print head blockages, sharpness of texture, optical density and color gamut.

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.
