Provided herein, inter alia, are solvent and resin formulations comprising reduced fire and environmental risk, methods for producing sensor device for detection of any analyte, e.g., by printing reactive chemicals and dyes onto a substrate using large scale printing machines. Also provided is a method of preparing the reduced risk formulations and sensor device, and methods of using the sensor device. Further provided is a sensor system including an ink and a solid support. The ink includes at least one reactive chemical or dye, a co-solvent, and a resin composition chosen for reduced fire and environmental impact risk. The ink is applied (e.g., printed) on a surface of the solid support. The reactive chemical or dye is configured to undergo a chemical reaction with gunshot residue (e.g., post blast residues associated with historical and modern day black powders used in bullet manufacture) that produces a presumptive colorimetric indication.

The aqueous pigment dispersion for IJ inks has excellent dispersion quality as well as high color strength and light fastness and is particularly suited for use as an U aqueous pigment ink. It includes C.I. Pigment Yellow 180, a block copolymer having an acid value of 10 or more and 20 or less and an amine value of 20 or less, and water. The present invention also provides C.I. Pigment Yellow 180 having an aspect ratio of 1.0 to 2.0, a primary particle shorter diameter of 30 to 100 nm, and a crystallite size of 15.0 nm or more as calculated from the Scherrer equation based on the full width at half maximum of a peak A indicated by a maximum diffraction intensity at a diffraction angle 2θ=6.7±0.50 in a powder X-ray diffraction pattern of diffraction intensities versus 2θ measured using CuKα radiation.
