Abstract:
Pigment composition comprising an organic pigment and a combination of at least two normally water-soluble coloured compounds (dyes) of opposing charge, i.e. of at least one anionic and one cationic dye are provided. The compositions impart improved rheology on non-aqueous pigment based printing inks and paints.
Abstract:
Pigment compositions for oil-based lithographic printing ink systems are provided which comprise as colourant besides an organic pigment an organic dyestuff soluble in an organic solvent (solvent dye). The printing inks prepared from these pigment compositions show outstanding improvements in colour strength combined with improvements in both gloss and transparency of the prints obtained.
