The present invention relates to a process for conditioning quinacridone pigments by (a) preparing an aqueous slurry of a crude quinacridone; (b) thoroughly mixing the aqueous slurry with about 0.3 to about 2.9 parts by weight, relative to the quinacridone, of at least one C1-C12 alkyl ester of a C7-C12 aromatic carboxylic acid at a temperature of between about 70 DEG C. and about 200 DEG C.; (c) hydrolyzing the alkyl ester used in step (b); and (d) collecting the quinacridone pigment.
