DESKTOP PIGMENT INK

A practical starting point for desktop pigment-ink development.

The AIC Carboxylic Series is positioned for aqueous desktop pigment-ink evaluation. Start with the colour route and validate it with the complete ink vehicle, printhead, media and storage conditions.

CARBOXYLIC SERIES

Use the platform to frame the desktop-ink brief.

Published Carboxylic Series models provide a practical starting set for desktop pigment-ink evaluation. They do not replace product-specific TDS review or validation in a finished ink.

COLOUR PLATFORM

Desktop pigment-ink route

Discuss the colourant together with filtration, humectant and resin direction, printhead, paper or coated media, drying behaviour and target storage conditions.

WHAT TO EVALUATE

Desktop performance is a complete-system question.

  1. 01

    Colour and media target

    Define the required yellow shade, paper or coated-media type, optical-density target and drying expectation before selecting a starting model.

  2. 02

    Jetting and filtration

    Set the printhead, filtration route and relevant particle-size control requirements as part of the formulation brief.

  3. 03

    Ink-vehicle compatibility

    Evaluate the self-dispersed colourant with the intended humectants, resin or binder, additives, pH and other complete-system conditions.

  4. 04

    Storage and print checks

    Confirm storage, re-dispersion, print quality and finished-media performance with agreed test conditions before production use.

TECHNICAL POSITIONING

Why start with a self-dispersed platform?

Surface functionality is designed as part of the pigment-particle platform. In desktop pigment ink, that gives formulators a focused route for evaluating dispersion behaviour alongside the rest of the ink system.

Important: this page describes an evaluation route, not a universal compatibility or performance guarantee. Confirm current AIC-Yellow 5GX09 documentation, availability and complete-system fit before quotation, sample approval or production.
