Pigment-based ink is a type of ink used to colour paper and other surfaces. Pigments are microscopic particles of solid substance suspended in a liquid or gas media, such as water or air. In this example, the pigment is combined with an oil-based carrier.
This form of ink has been around for centuries and was initially created from natural pigments found in plants, animals, and minerals.
Pigment inks, as opposed to water-based inks, are more resistant to fading. They can be a terrific way to add colour, texture, and vitality to cards, scrapbooks, notebooks, and other paper crafts.
The Global inkjet pigments market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Sun Chemical introduced Xennia Pearl Pigment Inks for Sustainable Textile Printing. The range, which includes inks for both mid-viscosity and high-viscosity printheads, was developed after an assessment of the market and specific customer needs, particularly the need for high fastness, multi-substrate compatibility, consistent colour, and outstanding print performance.
In addition to meeting basic market performance requirements, the range demonstrates Sun Chemical’s commitment to sustainability in the textiles sector by providing textile printers with a means to dramatically minimise water use and chemical waste.
The inks, which are based on proprietary pigments and resins, will assist the core application areas of fashion and home textiles – two sectors that are fast adopting digital pigment printing, both for the flexibility it provides and for the enormous sustainability it provides.
Furthermore, Xennia Pearl inks have improved fastness performance on polyester and cotton-polyester blends, allowing digital pigment printing to be used in high-demand applications that would otherwise require more water and energy to print.
Because the textile printing industry is shifting towards pigmented solutions for easier productivity, less waste, and less dependency on water, this ink is perfectly suited to facilitate that transition.
The Xennia brand is already a well-known and respected name in the market, but with Sun Chemical’s inkjet expertise and R&D capabilities behind it, the benefits to customers are poised to expand even further.
