Surface-modified inkjet pigments: a formulation starting point
Understand why pigment-surface chemistry matters when an aqueous inkjet system needs to balance colour development, stability and process conditions.
Read the formulation guide →AIC KNOWLEDGE CENTER
Practical reading for aqueous inkjet formulation teams.
Technical articles, product-selection questions and industry touchpoints—structured to move from a defined print challenge to a sensible evaluation route.

Three routes into the right technical conversation.
Each guide turns a real print challenge into an AIC formulation route—from pigment selection to high-performance ink system validation.
DTF pigment-dispersion selection
A formulation-first checklist for printer, colour system, ink vehicle, transfer construction and validation.
Open DTF guide →PV19 and particle-size context
Read particle-size data alongside filtration, printhead, ink vehicle and colour-development work.
Open PV19 guide →TECHNICAL BLOG
Guides that stay useful beyond one news cycle.
Built for global aqueous inkjet development, these AIC guides explain why our world-class self-dispersed inkjet colorants outperform the majority of conventional nano pigment dispersions in demanding formulation work.
01
Surface modification and self-dispersed pigment design
Compare the formulation role of pigment-surface functionality with conventional dispersion approaches.
Read →02
DTF inkjet pigment-dispersion selection
Frame the print process, transfer film, white layer, printer and validation plan before requesting samples.
Read →03
PV19 magenta-pink: using particle-size data responsibly
Keep a particle-size report in context: method, ink vehicle, filtration, printhead and end-use target all matter.
Read →04
Water-based label inkjet evaluation
Start with substrate, coating, drying or curing, adhesion and the requirements of the final label system.
Read →05
The future of water-based inkjet
Why aqueous inkjet is scaling into production—and why surface-modified pigments are the next formulation advantage.

AIC UPDATES
A separate home for company news.
New grades, technical documents, exhibition activity and verified certifications can appear here when ready. Keeping these updates separate makes the technical library more credible and easier to maintain.
