AbstractSummary: An approach for the high‐throughput preparation and characterisation of aqueous pigment dispersions is described and evaluated. The use of ultrasonication as a rapid technique for dispersing pigments using polymeric dispersants was developed. The results are comparable to those obtained using time‐intensive conventional high‐energy ball mill processing. The quality of the pigment dispersion was evaluated in a high‐throughput fashion using digital image analysis and the results correlated with particle sizes, determined by photo‐correlation spectroscopy.Cuvettes containing dispersions of varying particle size.imageCuvettes containing dispersions of varying particle size.
