Further detailed information can be taken from our technical data sheets and product specifications.

BAYSCRIPT^® dyes

To guarantee a constantly high ink quality, all BAYSCRIPT^® dyes are offered as highly purified liquid formulations with high surface tension, low viscosity and excellent low-residue filtration properties. The concentration of chloride ions and other salts, particularly bivalent metal ions, is minimized to reduce corrosion with printing and to allow a long shelf life of the inks. Also for the dye solutions the shelf life is prolonged. BAYSCRIPT^® dyes offer a high intensity of color and brilliance, a good solubility in common solvents for the ink production and a coloristically well-rounded range to create an optimized color space for various applications.

The range of BAYSCRIPT^® dyes covers the demands of various ink-jet applications, e.g.:

BAYSCRIPT^® Black SP liq., a universally applicable black dye with high color strength for price sensitive applications
BAYSCRIPT^® Yellow GGN liq., a standard yellow dye with optimal shade for desktop printers, also available in a highly concentrated form as BAYSCRIPT^® Yellow GK liq.
BAYSCRIPT Magenta TP BCH 9002 liq., a light and ozone fast anthrapyridone dye for use in inks for photo printing
BAYSCRIPT^® CYAN BA liq., a red shade cyan dye with high ozone fastness
BAYSCRIPT^® Black NST liq., a lightfast black dye with high absorption in the infrared spectral range for excellent bar code readability in inks for industrial ink-jet printing

BAYSCRIPT^® pigment dispersions

The newly developed BAYSCRIPT^® pigment dispersions fulfill high requirements for color intensity, brilliance and solvent compatibility. The dispersions were tested for compatibility and storage stability in various ink formulations and are suitable for thermal as well as for piezo-ink-jet systems.

Dyes for solvent and wax based ink-jet inks

For non-aqueous ink-jet inks we recommend well-chosen dyes of our MACROLEX^® range for solvent and wax based inks as well as Nigrosin Black A liq. as dye for alcohol-based inks.
