The present invention relates to silver ink for printing a three dimensional microstructure and a 3D printing method using the same. The present invention provides a method for printing a 3-dimensional silver structure pattern, the method including: a step of providing a nozzle with liquid ink including capped silver nanoparticles and exhibiting Newtonian fluid behavior; a step of forming, at a predetermined point on a substrate, a meniscus of the liquid ink with ink extruded from the nozzle; a step of allowing the ink of the nozzle to be extruded by means of the surface tension of the meniscus while moving the nozzle along a path in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, in a direction parallel to the substrate, or according to a combination of said directions; and a step of forming a silver structure pattern corresponding to the movement path of the nozzle by evaporating a solvent from the extruded ink from the region closer to the substrate. The present invention can provide a 3D printing method based on direct ink printing that is suitable for application to 3D printing electronic technology.

The present disclosure provides an ink fluid set containing an aqueous pretreatment composition and an aqueous inkjet ink. This ink fluid set is particularly suitable for printing on offset coated media.

A method for producing flakes of a resin thin film including: a step (1) of forming a resin thin film on a substrate film to obtain a multilayer film; a step (2) of pressing the multilayer film by a member having a concavo-convex shape to form cracks in the resin thin film; and a step (3) of stripping the resin thin film from the substrate film to obtain flakes. The step (2) is preferably performed with a pressing pressure of 100 MPa or less. The resin thin film is preferably formed of a cured product of a photocurable liquid crystal composition. The resin thin film is preferably a cholesteric resin layer.

In one aspect of the present disclosure, a tissue marking system is provided that includes a container and an applicator. The applicator is in the container and is removable therefrom. The applicator includes a tip, a reservoir containing sterile tissue marking dye, and a valve. The valve is configured to open and permit sterile tissue marking dye to flow from the reservoir to the tip of the applicator in response to the tip being pressed against a priming surface. In one embodiment, the system includes a substrate that is removable from the container and includes the priming surface. In another embodiment, the container includes a tray having a compartment that receives the applicator. The tray includes a well that includes the priming surface.

The present invention relates to a suspension comprising 50-95% by weight of the total suspension (w/w) of at least one metallic material and/or ceramic material and/or polymeric material and/or solid carbon containing material; and at least 5% by weight of the total suspension of one or more fatty acids or derivatives thereof. In addition, the invention relates to uses of such suspension in 3D printing processes.

An object of the present invention is to provide a dioxazine pigment having excellent fluidity. More specifically, an object of the present invention is to provide a dioxazine pigment in which practically sufficient fluidity is attained in both (1) initial viscosity and (2) storage stability when the dioxazine pigment is used in a printing ink application. The object is attained by providing a dioxazine pigment having a contact angle with respect to water according to an infiltration rate method in a range of 30° to 75°, and a contact angle with respect to 1-bromonaphthalene according to an infiltration rate method in a range of 30° to 75°.
