Abstract
In a continuous ink jet printing system, bleed and pullback are minimized by selecting an ink set having a particular print order, with each ink having its components selected to equalize the surface tensions of the inks. By equalizing the surface tensions, the percentage of density of the primary ink which can be printed increases, thereby increasing the secondary and tertiary color gamut.
