Color Pigmented Ink Jet Inks: New Developments and New Applications

Abstract

Since their introduction in 1996, color pigmented ink jet inks used in wide format applications have been applied to some of the most demanding applications with which ink jet has ever been challenged. Today, with higher resolution and specially designed substrates, color pigmented ink jet inks are being used in original art and art reproduction. New developments in color pigmented ink and printer technology will allow the even wider application of ink jet printing technology. In this paper these developments and their potential impact will be discussed.
