A method for inkjet printing using an ink comprised of an acicular pigment and a solvent in an inkjet printer to print on a recording medium wherein the inkjet printer has an ink reservoir and a print head. The method comprises obtaining the ink comprised of the acicular pigment and the solvent wherein the ink has a first viscosity, filling the ink reservoir of the inkjet printer with the ink, flowing the ink from the ink reservoir to the print head of the inkjet printer, and jetting the ink from the print head of the inkjet printer and onto the recording medium, wherein the ink has a second viscosity upon exiting the print head. An ink formulation(s) comprised of an acicular pigment and a solvent for use in printing images with an inkjet printer. An ink cartridge and an inkjet printing system compatible with an ink comprised of an acicular pigment.
A method of using an ink comprised of an acicular pigment, a solvent, and a dispersant in an inkjet printer to print on a recording medium wherein the inkjet printer has an ink reservoir and a print head, the method comprising:
