Abstract

A gray inkjet ink having a black colorant and at least one cyan, magenta, or yellow colorant. By adjusting the amount of cyan, magenta, or yellow colorant in the inkjet ink, a gray inkjet ink having a neutral, warm, cool, or sepia tone is produced. At least one gray inkjet ink is used in a black ink set or an eight-color ink set to produce black and white images having high resolution. Methods of producing black and white images having desired gray tones are also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to inkjet inks with cyan, red, yellow or black colorants in the ink vehicle. This inkjet ink can be used to produce neutral, cool, warm and sepia shades of gray. technical background [0002] Black and white images with high resolution, like black and white photos, are becoming fashionable. Statistics show that among the total number of images produced each year, photographers continue to use traditional silver halide technology to obtain a small proportion of black and white photos, and photographers have also accepted the use of inkjet printing technology to obtain high-resolution black and white images. Color inkjet printers and mixed-color inkjet inks print black and white images on print media. Color inkjet printers mix cyan, red, yellow, and black inkjet inks on the print media to form a composite black. Inkjet inks of cyan, red, yellow, and black are mixed in different proportions on the print media to produce sh...
