What is dye based ink anyway

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Dye is a stain, something that is mixed and dissolved with a 'base',
usually water or alcohol.

Pigment are particles suspended in either water or alcohol.

To make the stuff is not a matter of just getting the materials, what
about the viscosity, no doubt other agents are added for lubrication
etc.

It appears to me that ink for an Epson printer is gotta be different
from that for a Canon for example.

Epsons 'squirts the ink' hence 'inkjet printer' whilst Canon 'boils
the ink' which creates a bubble in which the hot air expands and
causes the bubble to burst like a balloon, splattering the paper
hence 'bubble jet'.

Ones a cold ink the others a hot ink, how 'universal ink' can do both
jobs can be argued about til 'the cows come home', but to me there's
just gotta be a difference.

Anyone care to mark my homework....?

Sorry, a bit off topic, but...

When I retire one of my printers I promise to make my own ink, just for
fun. [DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME WITH A GOOD PRINTER!] I've got planned
cranberry juice for the magenta, blueberry for cyan... However, I'm
still stuck for a strong yellow? I know there's "edible" inks on the
market already. But mine will be drinkable. 🙂

Delicious! . . . but I don't recall seeing a strong yellow in
pineapple juice. I may have to add food coloring.

Corona... and yes you are right I wouldn't want to drink it.

Yellow ink??? I think we all could come up with a suggestion, but I really
don't think you'd want to drink it. OTOH, why not just try food coloring?
The fruit juices would probably have microscopic suspended particles which
would be instant trouble.

Look at the MSDS sheets (Material Safety Data Sheets) available online
or at the maker's websites (eg. Epson has theirs up) for the full
specifications on what major compounds go into ink. Dye based inks
simply don't have any PIGMENTS, solid particles that have a certain
color (eg. cyan, magenta), to produce the color on the paper. Dye based
inks simply use a colorant instead.

Thanks for the suggestion. But I do remind you (everyone) that this I
would try only on a printer I would be disposing. As for filtering, any
suspended particles would probably be trapped by the filler material
in the cartridge anyway.

Taliesyn - For a more intense yellow you can run it through your kidneys.

But then it would be classed as "OEM". I'll let Measekite handle that
product line.

In addition, the sugar content would create havoc when superheated in the
print head. Probably comparable to what would happen in the carburator
with the old "sugar in the gas tank" trick to disable a car. (does it also
work with fuel injection?)

I did come across a site that specialised in edible ink, pretty sure
it was something to do with baking....!

It's gotta be pointed out that a 'dedicated printer' must be used for
this purpose, you don't wanna be swapping ink tanks in your printer
just because Er' indoors wants a fancy design doing in edible ink....
it could cause serious health problems.

This guy is either mentally handicapped, on drugs or drunk most of the
time. Maybe all three. There is no having a decent sociable conversation
with a nut case.
I suggest you kill file his sorry ass and be done with him.

I found that I got a strong greenish yellow when washing my hands with real
SOAP after handling tomato vines. I don't know if I would want to drink
that.

I had another thought. Use what is used to color butter and oelo.

I think perhaps our resident canon expert(sic) is attempting to spell
"doodie".

For example, he calls me a duty head.
