1. A radiation-curable composition, comprising:
a) at least one Pigment Violet 23, containing at least one functional group of formula (I)
—X-E   (I)
where:
X is a bridging group selected from phenylene or methylenephenylene; and
E is a polar molecule radical which is bonded to the Pigment Violet 23 via the bridging group X;
wherein E is
(Z)m(A)n
where:
Z is at least one polar functional group selected from at least one sulfonate radical, carboxylate radical or phosphonate radical;
A is a short-chain apolar molecule radical or a countercation selected from at least one proton, alkali metal cation, alkaline earth metal cation or an ammonium ion;
m is 1 or 2; and
n is 1, 2, 3 or 4;
b) at least one dispersant; and
c) a nonaqueous dispersion medium.
