Abstract

Water-based pigmented inks are disclosed. Such inks are formed from water-based dispersions of pigment particles having novel dispersants therein. The dispersions are formed from the reaction product of an alkenyl azlactone with an N-substituted amino acid compound. Subsequent to the reaction, the reaction product is ring-opened using an amine and, optionally, hydrolyzed. The resulting inks are well-suited for use in ink jet and other printing applications.
