MODIFIED ORGANIC COLORANTS AND DISPERSIONS, AND METHODS FOR THEIR PREPARATION

摘要

The present invention relates to methods of preparing modified organic colorant dispersions comprising the step of combining, in any order, i) an organic colorant; ii) an hydroxide reagent; and iii) an aqueous medium, to form a modified organic colorant dispersion. The methods further comprises a particle size reduction step. These steps can occur in either order. The organic colorant comprises at least one organic species having at least one ester group. Modified organic colorants and inkjet ink compositions are also disclosed.
