Universal pigment preparations for point-of-sale use

A pigment preparation, comprising:

• (A) 1 to 80 wt % of a pigment component which comprises a pigment and optionally a filler;
• (B) 0.01 to 10 wt % of a water-soluble, nonionic, surface-active additive comprising a copolymer formed from a vinyl monomer selected from the group consisting of 4-aminostyrene, 4-dimethylaminostyrene, 4-vinylpyridine, 2-vinylpyridine, 1-vinylimidazole, vinylpyrrolidone, and vinylcaprolactam;
• and from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer selected from the group consisting of a monocarboxylic ester, a dicarboxylic ester, a monocarboxamide, and a dicarboxamide,
• wherein the vinyl monomer, the ethylenically unsaturated monomer, or both comprises an N-containing group with pigment affinity;
• (C) 0.01 to 8 wt % of a phosphoric ester and/or a phosphonic ester;
• (D) 0 to 20 wt % of an additional additive customary for aqueous pigment preparations;
• and
• (E) water,
• where component (C) is formed by an additive based on lecithin, an anionic additive based on phosphoric ester, a phosphonic ester of polyalkylene oxide, a combination thereof, or of reaction product of alkylene oxide or aryl-substituted alkylene oxide with an aliphatic amine, an aromatic amine, an aliphatic carboxylic acid, an aliphatic carboxamide, a salt thereof, or an ester thereof, and
• where a sum of percentages by weight of components (A) to (E) is 100 wt %.
