Nanopigments in Offset Printing Inks

清泥

Abstract:
Nanopigments are a new type of pigment. They are hybrid materials consisting of organic dyes and
layered silicate nanoparticles. Nanopigments are already applied to make polymeric coatings and they
had shown improvement in mechanical, thermal and stability properties of the substrate and dyes
(Batenburg and Fischer, 2001)
In this work, nanopigments had been synthesized to be applied in the manufacture of offset printing
inks. Therefore, four different nanopigments are pursuit: cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and
black (K), in order to obtain primary colour for a four-colour-process system.

Keywords: Colorimetry, nanopigments, offset printing inks.
