1. A method for producing a conditioned pigment comprising:
- (a) milling a pigment with a dispersant comprising polyurethane having a molecular weight of about 1,000 to about 100,000 to obtain a resulting slurry, wherein at the start of the milling, the milling mixture has a total solids content of about 10 to 50% by weight and the amount of the dispersant is about 1 wt% to 50 wt% based on weight of the pigment; and
(b) isolating a solid product containing the pigment and the dispersant from the resulting slurry, the solid product being the conditioned pigment;
wherein the pigment is a perylene.
