Leira Introduces Pigment Ink for Plain Paper
Churchville, Md. — Leira Electro-Printing Supplies is pleased to announce the first pigment ink jet ink in the market compatible with all low-cost plain papers manufactured in the United States and Third World countries. Low-cost plain paper accounts for more than
90 percent of all paper that is bought and sold for use in ink jet printers all over the world.
The pigment ink was developed and formulated by engineer/scientist Abe Santos using advanced carbon black dispersion technology. It is made of a very stable compound that will remain dissolved overtime and will not cause wicking, bleeding, feathering or whiskering. The
net result is crisper, laser-sharp images and text that appear to be darker and more vivid. The ink is resistant to running should the paper become wet and resistant to fading when exposed to light.
Engineer Santos has extensive experience in multiple areas of imaging technologies coming from Philip Hunt Chemical Corporation, Olint Hunt Specialty Products, Konica Supplies Mfg. And the AQC group.
During his more than 20-years of experience in research and development, quality assurance and product development, he developed and patented a system for imaging printed circuit board by Liquid Toner Transfer Electrophotography. He also developed the Blackhole Project,
a patented innovative technology for electroplating through holes in PCB without the electroless copper plaiting process. He is experienced in the study of carbon black, magnetic and wax dispersion in dry toners; formulated liquid toners, dual and mono component dry toners and ink
jet inks. As vice president for Technology at AQC Group, he formulated most of the common HP, Canon, IBM, Xerox, Epson and Panasonic laser jet magnetic and non-magnetic laser jet toners. He is scientist-consultant to a government-funded project of the Philippine Air Force.
