Abstract
High security inkjet inks are made my milling two or more functional materials, such as invisible ultraviolet fluorescent dyes or pigments, infrared Anti Stokes upconverting pigments, infrared absorption and fluorescent dyes or pigments and iron oxide magnetic pigments, into a pigment dispersion. A wet media mill is used to mill the pigment dispersion until the average particle size is below 300 nm. The dispersion is combined with main components of an inkjet ink, such as deionized water, humectants, surfactants, polymer resin and biocides, to produce the high security inkjet ink.
