  • Patent number: 4444592
    Abstract: This invention relates to novel pigmentary products, particularly valuable in the textile art, prepared by using strong acid solvents to solubilize or form fine colloidal dispersions of normally water-insoluble aryl pararosanilines in an aqueous medium. The aryl pararosaniline which is thus solubilized or dispersed is reacted with a heteropoly acid to produce water-insoluble blue-hued pigments. By various modifications in the process, the pigments can be co-precipitated with other pigments and/or dyes to produce pigments or pigment lakes of different shades and intensities.

  • Patent number: 4434007
    Abstract: The present invention concerns our discovery that a water-soluble cationic dye and binder composition may be dissolved in a solvent, and, optionally, a magnetic material may be uniformly dispersed within said solvent solution. The resulting solution or mixture is agitated with a hot water solution comprising an ionizable salt whereby there is essentially no partitioning of the cationic dyestuff into the aqueous phase. During the intermixing step, the solvent is driven off, thereby providing a solid mixture of ink which may be pulverized and used in a wide variety of printing processes.
