Colorant
Dye: soluble in water or solvent
Pigment: insoluble in water or solvent
- Dispersion : dispersing particles
Sublimation Dye : insoluble in water
Pigment inks
Pigment: insoluble in water or solvent
- Less transparent colors (cf. Dye)
- High light fastness
- Fine particles (mean size: 80 – 120 nm, max. < 500nm)
- De-ionized water (no conductivity)
Sublimation Inks
Sublimation Dye: insoluble in water
- Most transparent colors (cf. pig) after sublimation
- Transferable at high temp (160 ~ 210 oC)
- Fine particles (mean size : 80 ~120 nm, max. < 500nm)
- De-ionized water (no conductivity)

Quality Analysis
Physical properties
Viscosity: for fluids flowing (water vs. honey
Surface tension: water vs. oil/bubble (soap))
Conductivity: content of salts – precipitation on nozzle pH value: corrosion of head (at low pH value)
Particle Size Control: 80 – 200 nm (mean), < 1,000 nm (max)
Color Concentration & Shade
Viscosity: for fluids flowing (water vs. honey
Surface tension: water vs. oil/bubble (soap))

Printing (wide format)
Printing
a) Compatibility with OEM inks (oddments in printer)
- Poor compatibility: may cause nozzle clogging
b) Printing stability: image printing/color density
on substrates
- drop formation
- bleeding
- inter-color bleeding
- spraying
- bronze effect (pigments)
- slip from media (pigments)
- light fastness: under UV light
(Xenon or Tungsten lamp)
