1. A process for preparing nanoscale particles of monoazo laked pigments, comprising:
providing an organic pigment precursor to a monoazo laked pigment that contains at least one functional moiety,
providing a sterically bulky stabilizer compound that contains at least one functional group, and
carrying out a chemical reaction to form a monoazo laked pigment composition, whereby the functional moiety found on the pigment precursor is incorporated within the monoazo laked pigment and non-covalently associated with the functional group of the stabilizer, so as to allow the formation of nanoscale-sized pigment particles.
