Abstract
A non-aqueous pigment dispersion includes a quinacridone pigment, a polymeric dispersant, and a dispersion synergist in a non-aqueous dispersion medium wherein the dispersion synergist is a quinacridone derivative substituted on one of the two nitrogen atoms of the quinacridone basic chromophore structure by a group including at least one carboxyl group or a salt thereof. Also, a method for printing an ink-jet image with an ink including the non-aqueous pigment dispersion.
Claims11
1-10. (canceled)
11:
- A non-aqueous pigment dispersion comprising:

17:
- The non-aqueous pigment dispersion according to claim 11, wherein the pigment dispersion is a curable inkjet ink.
18:
- The non-aqueous pigment dispersion according to claim 11, wherein the pigment dispersion is a non-aqueous inkjet ink containing an organic solvent and/or oil.
19:
- The non-aqueous pigment dispersion according to claim 11, wherein the quinacridone pigment is selected from the group consisting of C.I. Pigment Violet 19, C.I. Pigment Red 122, C.I. Pigment Red 202, and mixed crystals of quinacridone pigments.
20:
- A method for printing an ink-jet image comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a curable ink-jet ink set containing a curable ink-jet ink including one or more radical polymerizable monomers, a quinacridone pigment, and a quinacridone derivative containing at least one carboxyl group or a salt thereof;
- (b) printing an image with the curable ink-jet including the quinacridone pigment and
- (c) curing the printed image.
