The process for producing highly concentrated nanometer-size fine
particles of an organic pigment, which comprises dissolving the organic
pigment in an amide solvent, especially an organic solvent comprising at
least 50 vol % 1-methyl-2-pyrrodinone, and pouring the resultant organic
pigment solution with stirring into a poor solvent which is not
compatible with the organic pigment. The pigment may be a quinacridone
pigment, phthalocyanine pigment etc. Any atmospheric pressure to a
sub-critical and/or supercritical state can be employed as the production
conditions.
