Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to a magenta pigment blend, a magenta ink, and a method of formulation a magenta pigment blend. The magenta pigment blend can be a first pigment including a solid solution of Pigment Violet 19 and Pigment Red 122, or Pigment Red 282; and a second pig-ment including Pigment Red 150. The weight ratio of the first pigment to the second pigment can be from 50:50 to 80:20 by pigment solids content.

Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to a pigment-based inkjet ink and methods. The inkjet ink includes water; from 2 wt % to 9 wt % pigment solids; from 0.05 wt % to 2 wt % of an acetylenic diol non-ionic surfactant; from 0.05 wt % to 2 wt % of a second surfactant. The second surfactant can be a polysorbate having at least 50% lipophilic oleic acid groups and having an HLB value of less than 15, or a C12-C18 polyoxyethylene glycol ether having an ethylene oxide number less than 20, or a perfluoropolyether including a polyethylene glycol primary alcohol or diol. The inkjet ink also includes from 5 wt % to 50 wt % of an organic solvent system comprising triethylene glycol and a cyclic amide.

Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to inkjet inks and related methods. The inkjet ink includes water, from 5 wt % to 50 wt % of an organic solvent system, from 2 wt % to 9 wt % pigment solids, from 0.1 wt % to 3 wt % polyurethane binder, and from 0.4 wt % to 1.5 wt % of an oleyl or stearyl type polyoxyethylene glycol ether surfactant.

Abstract: In one example, an ink set with color-to-color bleed control on media includes a first ink in the ink set with a bound dispersant and a first amount of surfactant and a second ink in the ink set with a free dispersant and a second amount of surfactant greater than the first amount of surfactant. A method for forming an ink set with reduced color-to-color bleed is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to magenta inks and ink sets for ink-jet printing. The inks and ink sets provide exceptional ozone fastness, particularly when printed on porous media or plain paper. The inks of the ink sets are formulated to be compatible with each other and are capable of producing high quality printed images.

Abstract: An ink for use in combination with, for example, an ink-jet printer. The ink comprises a carrier, a colorant in the carrier, and a component selected from a group consisting of amines, amides, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: Magenta chromophore dyes which are stabilized by adding steric hindering groups to protect the imino carbons; nonlimiting examples of the steric hindering groups being phenyl, methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, fluoride, chloride, bromide and iodide groups.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to ink-jet inks, ink sets, and methods of printing images. The ink-jet ink can comprise a cyan phthalocyanine dye, a divalent salt, an anti-flocculent aromatic polyamine, and a liquid vehicle. The cyan phthalocyanine dye can be susceptible to destabilization by the presence of the salt, and the anti-flocculent aromatic polyamine can be present at a concentration that stabilizes the cyan phthalocyanine dye in the presence of the divalent salt.

Abstract: A printing system including a boronic acid dye and a coated print medium. The boronic acid dye comprises a boric acid group or a boronic acid group attached to the dye. The boronic acid dye covalently binds to a polyhydroxylated material present in a coating layer of the print medium, fixing the boronic acid dye to the print medium. A method of reducing dye migration on a print medium is also disclosed.
