  • Patent number: 11926741
    Abstract: A quinacridone solid solution pigment that allows a colored product to have high chroma and a properly yellowish hue and has a controlled particle diameter, and a method for producing the quinacridone solid solution pigment. In the method, a water-containing crude quinacridone solid solution is produced by a co-cyclization reaction of a diarylaminoterepththalic acid and a dialkylarylaminoterephthalic acid in polyphosphoric acid, then the resulting water-containing crude quinacridone solid solution having a mass ratio of unsubstituted quinacridone to a 2,9-dialkylquinacridone of 85:15 to 60:40 is dried, thereby obtaining a powdery, crude quinacridone solid solution having a water content of less than 1%. Then, the resulting powdery, crude quinacridone solid solution is heated in a liquid medium that does not dissolve the crude quinacridone solid solution. Also, a pigment dispersion liquid and an inkjet ink each containing the obtained quinacridone solid solution pigment are provided.

  • Patent number: 11873412
    Abstract: Disclosed is an aqueous fluorescent ink and a preparation method and use thereof. The aqueous fluorescent ink provided by the present disclosure includes 0.10%-0.14% of polystyrene micro-spheres, 0.010%-0.014% of fluorescent dyes, 0.4%-0.6% of surfactants, and the balance of water. The present disclosure uses polystyrene micro-spheres as a fluorescent dye carrier, which is colorless and transparent under ordinary daylight and completely invisible, and displays fluorescence only when irradiated by ultraviolet light and has high fluorescence intensity. The surfactant makes the polystyrene fluorescent micro-spheres uniformly dispersed in the fluorescent ink, and the stability of the fluorescent ink is improved. Water is used as a solvent, which has excellent safety and environmental friendliness. The accuracy of the printed patterns can reach 30 ?m, which can help realize large-format ultra-high-precision patterned anti-counterfeiting encryption printing.
