Abstract

Different dispersants were used to develop ethanol-based silver inks for continuous ink-jet printing. Inks were made using varying amounts of dispersant and silver. Various parameters, such as sedimentation behaviour, sediment volume, half-value time and viscosity, were used to assess the dispersion and stability of these inks over 10 days.
