Abstract

Stability is a key issue for the formulator developing new inkjet ink formulations using pigments. Sedimentation can take place in such systems due to the difference of density of the pigment particles compared to the continuous phase. This phenomenon cannot be eliminated via viscosity increase due to technical constraints in the cartridge. Aggregation can also arise leading to packing of the sediment. All these phenomena can be monitored and quantified using the Turbiscan® technology. Analyses are done on the real product, without dilution and can be accelerated through temperature increase and automated with an ageing station.
