Inkjet ink formulation, pigment dispersion and troubleshooting support
Practical technical support for ink manufacturers, distributors and industrial print businesses — backed by over 30 years of hands-on formulation, manufacturing and print performance experience.
Specialist support for inkjet ink development
Dilecta Inkjet Consulting provides clear, practical and independent support for businesses working with inkjet inks, pigment dispersions and specialist fluids.
The focus is on solving real technical problems: improving formulation performance, identifying causes of print issues, supporting raw material selection, reviewing manufacturing processes and helping projects move forward in a structured way.
Ideal for manufacturers, distributors and technical teams who need experienced formulation support, troubleshooting input or an independent technical review of an inkjet-related project.
Consulting services
Support can be tailored depending on the stage of your project — from early feasibility and formulation review through to manufacturing scale-up and print performance troubleshooting.
Ink formulation review
Independent review of ink systems, raw material choices, resin packages, solvent balance, additives, conductivity, viscosity and print performance risks.
Pigment dispersion support
Guidance on pigment selection, dispersants, milling strategy, particle size targets, stability, filtration and practical manufacturing routes.
CIJ ink troubleshooting
Support with continuous inkjet issues including viscosity drift, make-up balance, print instability, adhesion, drying, charging and contamination problems.
Process development
Practical advice on lab scale trials, scale-up, mixing, milling, filtration, batch consistency and quality control procedures.
Technical reports
Clear written reviews, recommendations, formulation routes, testing plans and structured next-step reports for internal or customer-facing use.
Project support
Flexible support for short reviews, one-off troubleshooting, ongoing development projects or confidential technical advisory work.
Areas of experience
Support is based on practical experience in ink development, dispersion manufacture, process troubleshooting and production scale-up.
- Aqueous and solvent-based ink systems
- Continuous inkjet inks and industrial coding fluids
- Pigment dispersions for inkjet and specialist coatings
- Raw material screening and formulation optimisation

Practical, commercially aware technical advice
Inkjet projects rarely fail for one simple reason. Formulation, raw materials, printer settings, manufacturing method, contamination, environment and customer usage can all play a part.
Dilecta Inkjet Consulting helps break the problem down properly, separating likely ink-related causes from process, equipment or application issues so the next steps are based on evidence rather than guesswork.
The aim is not to overcomplicate the work. The aim is to help you make better technical decisions, avoid wasted trials and move towards a reliable, manufacturable solution.
How a project normally works
A simple, structured approach keeps the work focused and avoids wasting time on unnecessary testing or assumptions.
Initial discussion
We look at the problem, the ink system, the application, the printer platform and what information is already available.
Technical review
Available data, formulation details, raw materials, test results or process notes are reviewed in a structured way.
Recommendations
You receive clear next steps, likely causes, development routes, suggested tests or practical formulation considerations.
Follow-up support
Further support can be provided for formulation adjustments, testing results, supplier discussions or development planning.
