Digital Inks Ingredients 

Precision, stability and color definition—at production speed.

Inkjet ingredient technologies designed to bring precision and reliability to waterborne digital printing. From formulation to final print, these solutions support high-quality results under real production conditions.

Engineering Precision in Inkjet Printing

Inkjet printing is one of the most demanding printing technologies. Highly sensitive to formulation balance and process conditions, it requires ingredients capable of delivering precision, stability and reliability at every stage.
The transition toward waterborne inkjet inks supports a more sustainable industry—provided performance is carefully engineered, not compromised.

Only a limited number of ingredients truly meet the complex requirements of waterborne inkjet formulations. At Lamberti, deep expertise in ink formulation meets advanced chemical research to develop solutions that respond to real application needs

Ingredients Where Performance Emerges

Within our Inkjet Ingredients Laboratory, innovation is driven by application.
Our portfolio includes ESAJET digital binders, designed to ensure durability and resistance on textiles and plastic films while maintaining low environmental impact, formulation flexibility and printhead safety.

To support outstanding dispersion stability and vivid color development, FLUIJET® hyper-dispersants enable premium image quality even in demanding formulations.
Dedicated primers such as LAMBERTI JET and ESACOTE® optimize ink droplet control and print definition on textiles and plastic films—without compromising fastness. The range is completed by thickeners and wetting agents, supported by strong analytical and technological expertise to meet evolving regulatory requirements.
