Speciality Carbon Black is the most widely used pigment in black ink industry. Carbon Black could provide higher efficiency in combination with excellent fastness against light and temperature. 

For inks mainly Furnace Carbon Blacks are used. This production process permits the influence and variation of the main carbon black properties like primary size, surface and structure. Thus for almost every application a suitable Furnace Carbon Black type is available. These Pigment Blacks are often characterized by low structural values, resulting in a desired gloss of the formulation. Similarly as in the field of plastics, Carbon Blacks with low PAH values and elementary impurities are used.
