Hello all,
I would like to know what chemical composition of laser ink is and how to make it?
Thank you!

The materials needed to make laser ink include carbon black, a resin binder, a solvent, a dispersant, and a rheology modifier.
To make laser ink, mix the carbon black, resin binder, solvent, dispersant, and rheology modifier in a specific ratio according to your desired ink properties. This can be done using a high-speed mixer or a ball mill.
No, it is important to use a specific type of carbon black that is suitable for laser printing, as some types may not have the necessary properties for this application.
The quality of laser ink can be tested by printing a sample on a laser printer and evaluating the print quality, such as sharpness, density, and resistance to smudging. Other tests can also be conducted, such as viscosity and abrasion resistance.
Yes, the temperature and humidity of the environment can affect the properties of the laser ink. It is recommended to work in a controlled environment with a temperature range of 20-25°C and a humidity of 40-60%.
