Inkjet color printing using only one ink

18 February 2016

Color printing technology is developing rapidly, but what has remained unchanged is the fact that in each development dye inks (CMYK or RGB color schemes) are used for coloring. As a next step in printing color images and storing information, researchers at ITMO University in Russia propose the technology of producing optical nanostructures. They used inkjet technology to create colored interference layers with high accuracy without the need for high-temperature fixing. By controlling the film thickness by using inkjet deposition, they produced images based on controlled interference and implementing color printing with one ink. An article about the research is published in ACS Nano.
