New orange, green and violet colours enable the formulation of inkjet inks for wider colour gamut printing, says Fujifilm. The new inkjet pigment dispersions are now available world-wide.
Fujifilm Imaging Colorants has announced global commercial availability of an expanded range of colours to its series of high performance RxD pigment dispersions for water-based inkjet ink formulation.
“Fujifilm now offers dispersions in Orange PO71, Green PG7, and Violet PV23 pigments,” it said. “The new inkjet pigment dispersions are now available world-wide through Fujifilm’s Ink Solutions Group.
“OGV colours are typically used to formulate ink sets that extend the gamut of a print system beyond the colour space achievable with CMYK, which is particularly important for achieving higher vibrancy, colour accuracy and matching brand spot colours in packaging, textile and commercial print applications.”
Grant Murney, UK-based product manager of Fujifilm’s RxD inkjet pigment dispersions, added: “In developing the new RxD Orange, Green and Violet dispersions, we’ve carefully selected the best polymers and processing conditions to ensure optimum stability and print performance for our customers, in line with the standard CMYK products already in the RxD product range.”
RxD pigment dispersions are used in Fujifilm’s aqueous ink developments for OEMs and are available to other ink formulators.
“Fujifilm’s RxD dispersions are highly stable and suitable for ink formulation across a wide range of applications,” said a press release. “They are engineered with Fujifilm’s proprietary reactive dispersant technology which uses a cross-linked polymer to create a secure cage around the pigment.
"This provides a stable dispersion that is compatible with a wide range of components used in inkjet ink formulation, enabling the design of stable ink formulations that meet demanding performance requirements. The high-quality pigments used in RxD dispersions comply with Swiss Ordinance SR817.023.21, making indirect food contact compliant applications accessible.”
Fujifilm Imaging Colorants last year opened the first of two new facilities in Delaware, USA dedicated to the production of aqueous ink inkjet dispersions to meet fast-growing global demand.
