Positive resist composition and photosensitizers

A composition used for an ingredient of printing ink, which comprises an organic pigment and a pigment derivative represented by the formula (I) in the acid form: ##STR1## wherein D represents a residue of an organic pigment other than azo, R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom or an unsaturated aliphatic, saturated aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, R.sub.2 represents an unsaturated aliphatic, saturated aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, m represents a number of from 0 to 3 and n represents a number of from 1 to 4, provided that m+n is from 1 to 5.

Composition for printing inks

A pigment composition which comprises an organic pigment and a dioxazine pigment derivative represented by the following formula (I); ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each independently represents a substituted or unsubstituted and saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group or aromatic hydrocarbon group, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 form a heterocyclic ring; L is an integer of 1-6; m is 0.5-3; and n is 0.5-3.5 provided that total of m and n is 1-5 or a salt thereof; and the pigment composition can be used with excellent pigment characteristics for various uses, and particularly, when they are used for paints or printing inks in the form of non-aqueous dispersion system, the dispersion system has lower dispersion viscosity and exhibits good flowability and there occurs no color segregation in the dispersion system and it has high coloring power and gives good prints or coats having good gloss and high transparency.

Pigment compositions

4,4'-Diamino-1,1'-dianthraquinonyl compounds which are obtained in a known manner and which are easy to agglomerate or aggregate owing mainly to their too fine particle size are conditioned by heating an aqueous suspension consisting essentially of the 4,4'-diamino-1,1'-dianthraquinonyl compound and water in the presence or absence of a mineral acid or an alkali. The thus obtained 4,4'-diamino-1,1'-dianthraquinonyl pigments are used in paints, printing inks, coloring of plastics and the like. The aqueous suspension is preferably prepared by desulfonating a 4,4'-diamino-1,1'-dianthraquinonyl-3,3'-disulfonic acid compound in a mineral acid such as sulfuric acid and then mixing the desulfonation reaction mixture with water or by once isolating the resulting 4,4'-diamino-1,1'-dianthraquinonyl compound and mixing the isolated compound with water.

Process for producing 4,4'-Diamino-1,1'-dianthraquinonyl pigments

Crude 4,4'-diamino-l,l'-dianthraquinonyl-3,3'-disulfonic acids or salts thereof are purified by subjecting an aqueous solution containing the crude products to salting-out using inorganic salts, the aqueous solution being adjusted within a range of from acid to neutral region, whereby a product usable as such for the production of 4,4'-diamino-1,1'-dianthraquinonyl red pigments having excellent pigmentary properties is obtained in high yields with industrial advantages.

Process for purification of crude

A desulfonation reaction mixture of 4,4'-diamino-1,1'-dianthraquinonyl-3,3'-disulfonic acid obtainable in a conventional manner is mixed in the form of an aqueous acid suspension with a surface active agent, followed by filtration, whereby filterability and flowability of the produced 4,4'-diamino-1,1'-dianthraquinonyl pigment are efficiently improved.
