FUJIFILM Imaging Colorants, Ltd. has announced global commercial availability of an expanded range of colours to its series of high performance RxD pigment dispersions for water-based inkjet ink formulation.
Fujifilm now offers dispersions in Orange PO71, Green PG7, and Violet PV23 pigments. The new inkjet pigment dispersions are now available world-wide through Fujifilm’s Ink Solutions Group.
OGV colours are typically used to formulate ink sets that extend the gamut of a print system beyond the colour space achievable with CMYK, which is particularly important for achieving higher vibrancy, colour accuracy and matching brand spot colours in packaging, textile and commercial print applications.
Grant Murney, product manager of RxD inkjet pigment dispersions, says “In developing the new RxD Orange, Green and Violet dispersions we’ve carefully selected the best polymers and processing conditions to ensure optimum stability and print performance for our customers, in line with the standard CMYK products already in the RxD product range.”
Fujifilm’s RxD dispersions are highly stable and suitable for ink formulation across a wide range of applications.
They are engineered with Fujifilm’s proprietary reactive dispersant technology which uses a cross-linked polymer to create a secure cage around the pigment.
This provides a stable dispersion that is compatible with a wide range of components used in inkjet ink formulation, enabling the design of stable ink formulations that meet demanding performance requirements.
The high-quality pigments used in RxD dispersions comply with Swiss Ordinance SR817.023.21, making indirect food contact compliant applications accessible.
Last year, Fujifilm announced a further expansion within a $47 million investment in its global RxD inkjet dispersion manufacturing capabilities, part of its commitment to meet the growing demand for new applications with aqueous inkjet inks and supporting its global customer base.
Digital Pigment Printing Of Textiles
Digital printing is well-established in textiles, but brand drive to offer seasonal variation, e-commerce and supply chain efficiency will further increase the digitization of textile print.
As a mass consumer product, textile production is under scrutiny as environmental impact becomes a prominent global concern.
The drive for sustainability in textiles is highlighting the impact of dye-based inkjet printing, which requires large quantities of water in the ink production and printing process, high amounts of energy in fixation and washing, and uses harmful chemicals.
Pigment ink technology is a more sustainable alternative for many textile applications. Fujifilm’s RxD® pigment dispersion technology enables the formulation of high performance, robust inks that jet reliably.
Whatever your pigment ink technology requirement, we have a solution for you.
Fujifilm provides high performance inks for OEMs and high quality dispersions to independent or vertically integrated inkjet ink formulators.
