Provides an information source for scientists, art historians, conservators and forensic specialists. Drawn together from analytical research into the physical and chemical properties of pigments, this reference to pigment names and synonyms describes the inter-relationship of different names and terms.
A manual dedicated to optical microscopy of historical pigments. It features full colour images. It features full colour images of over 350 pigments for accurate identification and is a cross-referenced dictionary of pigments names.

Offers information on the important parameters which determine ink performance. This book covers the conventional use of inkjet technology on graphic applications, and also the extension of this method to print various functional materials, such as the use of conductive inks to print light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and three-dimensional structures.
Dyes and pigments are substances that impart colour to a material. The term colorant is often used for both dyes (also called dyestuffs) and pigments. The major difference between dyes and pigments is solubility (the tendency to dissolve in a liquid, especially water). This book presents research from around the world in this field.
This resource includes most well-known dye plants, including elderberry, henna, indigo, madder and saffron, and each plant is illustrated in a full page painting that shows the colours that the plant can yield. There is also a chapter on dyestuffs and mordants.
