摘要:
The inks provide excellent ink-jet prints having excellent imaging onto the media with sharp, smooth edge text print and overall print quality improvements. The aqueous inks each comprise an anionic colorant (CMYK), a short chain alcohol or diol and a cationic surfactant.
摘要:
A dye-based ink includes a dye and a solvent. The dye-based ink has a high print quality on plain paper. The dye-based ink may have a print quality similar to pigment-based inks. This may be particularly relevant for black inks.
摘要:
The present invention is drawn to a media sheet, comprising a substrate and a porous ink-receiving layer deposited on the substrate. The porous ink-receiving layer can comprise inorganic metal or semi-metal oxide particulates bound by a polymeric binder, and the porous ink-receiving layer can further include an effective amount of a sulfur-containing compound that interacts with ozone upon exposure thereto.

摘要:
A method of protecting dyes printed on print media against ozonolysis is provided. The method comprises: (a) providing a first reaction product comprising the reaction of a phenylenediamine or derivative thereof (an anti-ozonant) with a silica or silicate; and (b) reacting the first reaction product in the presence of a water-free solvent with silica groups to form a second reaction product. Also provided is the reaction product resulting from the reaction of (1) the anti-ozonant-silica (or silicate) and (2) silica groups on a substrate. The anti-ozonant-silica (or silicate) is covalently attached to the particles of silica in the media and cannot escape or evaporate away. The use of phenylenediamines as anti-ozonants solves the problem of the fading of dyes on porous media by ozone pollution.

In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, an ink-jet ink can comprise a dye and a liquid vehicle carrying the dye. The liquid vehicle can include a sulfonated aromatic compound present in the ink-jet ink at an effective concentration to cause improvement of ozone fastness of said ink-jet ink.
摘要:
Anti-bronzing compounds are added to inkjet inks to prevent bronzing of the inks when printed on specialty quick-dry inkjet photographic media. These compounds inhibit bronzing by the proper buffering of the dyes relative to the media of interest.
摘要:
A puddling additive comprising a nonionic, polar group and a C6-C30 hydrocarbon tail for use in reducing puddling in an inkjet ink. The inkjet ink also comprises a dye and an ink vehicle. A method of reducing puddling in an inkjet ink is also disclosed. The method comprises adding a puddling additive to the inkjet ink, wherein the puddling additive comprises a nonionic, polar group and a C6-C30 hydrocarbon tail.
摘要:
A puddling additive comprising an anionic, polar group and a C6-C30 hydrocarbon tail for use in reducing puddling in an inkjet ink. The anionic, polar group is a carboxylate or phosphate group and the C6-C30 hydrocarbon tail is a saturated or unsaturated C6-C30 hydrocarbon chain. An inkjet ink comprises a puddling additive, a dye, and an ink vehicle. A method of reducing puddling in an inkjet ink is also disclosed. The method comprises adding the puddling additive to the inkjet ink.
