As can be seen from Table 2, the inks of examples 3 to 5 had better stability, and the particle diameter D99 value of the ink after 7D aging and the absorbance difference between the upper and lower layers of the ink were more stable than those of the other examples, indicating that the stability of the ink was better. The comparison result shows that the content of the dye is more beneficial to the improvement of the grinding efficiency of the color paste when being 20 percent, the dye is too high or too low to be beneficial to the improvement of the grinding efficiency, the stability of the product is better compared with that of the acrylic resin liquid, the addition amount of the surfactant is better between 5 and 8 percent, and the system is more easy to generate bubbles along with the increase of the addition amount, so that the grinding coating of the color paste and the stability of the ink are not beneficial.
