Inkjet Colorant: Excellent color reproduction achievement in engineering and graphics arts applications: Evolving Technology, Trends and industry Analysis – 2020
Inkjet technology is a printing technology used in large-format printers for engineering and graphics arts applications, desktops, fax machines, workgroup printers and several other industrial applications. Besides printing on paper, inkjet technology can be used for printing on metals, glass, plastics, fabrics, wall coverings and ceramics. The ink used in inkjet colorant contains resin, colorant, solvent and additives. Resin is the material that carries the dye or colorant. It also is responsible in making the ink adhere to the surface, be abrasion resistant and providing UV protection. The additives are responsible for adding flexibility, better flow, formation, and longer stability. The solvent determines the ink’s dry time and enables mixing of the other components. Some of the major driving factors of this market include rising demand for high performance pigments and growth in end user industries. The paints and coatings industry is recording significant growth due ...
