The humidity-induced loss of line and edge quality in inkjet prints is due to lateral migration of the colorants within the image layer, whereas color and tone scale changes can be caused by both lateral and vertical diffusion of the colorants. The migration effects vary with colorant mixtures and ink loading. In an earlier study, we showed that ∆E measurements for solid-fill areas of color did...

Azo dyes are widely used colorants in consumer products such as leather, textiles, agriculture, cosmetics and in laboratories as indicators. This paper describes the synthesis of some novel azo dyes starting from 3-nitro salicylic acid. The synthesized dyes were investigated for their redox potentials, evaluated for their dying ability on cotton fabrics, resistivity against the fungi growth on ...

an algorithm is suggested for implementation of unlimited primaries in two-constants kubelka-munk color matching attempt. allens method for tristimulus color matching which was limited to four colorants in two constant theory, dealt with inversable matrices. by application of the pseudo-inverse, it is not necessary to limit the number of primary colors to four as allen suggested. the suggested ...

They occur primarily as glycosides or acylglycosides of their respective aglycone anthocyanidins. There are almost seventeen natural anthocyanidins; however, only 6 of them, cyanidin, delphinidin, petunidin, peonidin, pelargonidin, and malvidin are universally distributed [3]. Over 600 naturally occurring ACNs have been reported differing in (a) the number and position of hydroxyl and methoxyl ...
