Abstract:
An ink composition including a compound having a triester structure that has alternately a hydrophilic group and a hydrophobic group, a coloring agent and a solvent. The compound having the triester structure reduces mobility of the coloring agent and increases adhesion to paper, thereby minimizing bleeding between colors of printed images. The triester compound also improves water fastness of printed images and dry and wet rub fastness to have good colorfastness on paper. In addition, the ink composition improves image quality of printed images and has good long-term storage stability so that it can be widely used in inkjet ink, printing ink, paints, textile printing, paper manufacture, cosmetic manufacture, the ceramic industry and the like.

Abstract:
An encapsulated colorant including a colorant and a polymer resin coating the colorant, where the polymer resin is prepared by polymerizing a polymer resin-forming composition including two or more polymerizable unsaturated monomers, and the content ratio of the two or more polymerizable unsaturated monomers is controlled to obtain a glass transition temperature of the polymer resin of −15 to 75° C. An ink composition including an encapsulated colorant, and an ink set comprising two or more types of the ink composition. The encapsulated colorant may have different glass transition temperatures to have a utility of high optical density when printing text, and high gloss when printing images.
Abstract:
Provided are an encapsulated colorant including a polymer resin and a colorant coated with the polymer resin, wherein the encapsulated colorant includes at least two types of colorants which have different average particle diameters with different distributions. The encapsulated colorant has two types of colorants which have different average particle diameters with different distributions. In the preparation of an encapsulated colorant, a supplementary colorant is added to the preparation of an initially added colorant after a specific period of time. Thus, a polymer resin growing on the colorants has a different size. Thus, the present general inventive concept provides an encapsulated colorant having at least two average particle diameters with different distributions and has beneficial miscibility since the colorants are coated with a polymer resin. The present general inventive concept also provides an ink composition having superior work efficiency in low shear regions such as mixing and transferring the colorants, and in high shear regions such as inkjet ejection.

The ink composition containing the self-dispersible coloring agent provides effective long-term storage stability and dispersion stability using a one-step process.
Abstract:
A self-dispersible bipyridine-based metal complex includes a bipyridine-based ligand and a metal, and an ink composition including the metal complex. The bipyridine-based metal complex may be self-dispersed without requiring a dispersing agent and may be used as a colorant per se. Furthermore, the metal complex, when binding with a common colorant, may produce various colors and exhibit enhanced durability including light resistance. In addition, the metal complex includes a hydrophilic group-containing ligand coordinating with the metal, in addition to the bipyridine-based ligand, and thus, has a bulky structure. Therefore, dispersion stability is enhanced by a self-dispersion system based on a steric hindrance due to the bulky structure of the metal complex and an electrostatic repulsive force between the charged metal and the hydrophilic group-containing ligand, thus enhancing a long-term storage stability.
