A pigment dispersion includes a color pigment represented by formula (I):
wherein
X1 to X4 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a halogen atom;
R1 to R10 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a halogen atom, a methyl group, an ethyl group, a methoxy group, and an ethoxy group;
and a polymeric dispersant, having via a linking group covalently linked to its polymeric backbone, at least one pending chromophore group which has a molecular weight smaller than 90% of the molecular weight of the color pigment; wherein the at least one pending chromophore group is a chromophore group occurring as a side group on the polymeric backbone and not a group in the polymeric backbone itself or occurring solely as an end group of the polymeric backbone;
and the at least one pending chromophore group is represented by formula (II):
wherein
one of L1, L2, or L3 is the linking group and is selected from the group consisting of an aliphatic group, a substituted aliphatic group, an unsaturated aliphatic group, and a substituted unsaturated aliphatic group;
L1, L2, and/or L3, if not representing the linking group, are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkoxy group, a carboxylic acid group, an ester group, an acyl group, a nitro group, and a halogen;
AR1 and AR2 represent an aromatic group; and
n represents the integer 0 or 1. The pigment dispersion can be advantageously used in inkjet inks. Also disclosed are methods for preparing the inkjet ink.
