Digital Age - Ink

Toyo Ink Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Chemical Business Headquarters started its ink jet business (hereinafter referred to as “lJ”), and recently officially committed to this business with the development of new inks. The company's IJ business star consists of ink, media (printing materials), software, and systems. In addition to the printer, it follows the company's development path. From this year, the business planning system has been officially implemented.

According to the forecast of a survey company in the United States, the sales of digital printing inks will surpass the traditional inks by 2015 and form an impact on them. Although the company not only engaged in the development of inks but also tried to develop ink jet heads, it has not entered the practical stage. However, in terms of inks, the “self-separation pigments” have recently been developed separately, and the LJs using the pigments have also been realized. Mass production.

This is a kind of pigment that can be stably dispersed by stirring in eight dispersion media (water, solvent) without the need of a surface active agent. The company, which is the plenipotentiary of this business, estimates that it will achieve a turnover of 8.2 billion yen in 2003. Of the 8.2 billion yen, ink accounted for 4.2 billion yen, media (film-based composite film) accounted for 2.7 billion yen, and the system was 1.3 billion yen. This will become one of the company's main businesses.

To this end, the company plans to invest about 1 billion yen in 2001 and introduce equipment with an annual production capacity of 3 million tons. The company developed the self-classifying pigment type water-based IJ ink that improves the stability of ink jet from the nozzle by using nano-scale micronization technology to make the pigment particles have a size of 20-30 μm (100-200 μm sold in the market). In addition, the shape is spherical and the particle size distribution is sharp, achieving high definition and high density.
