Abstract: A method for increasing the diameter of an ink jet ink dot resulting from the application of an ink jet ink drop applied to the surface of an inkjet recording medium having a support having thereon an image-receiving layer and an overcoat layer, the ink penetration rate of the overcoat layer being faster than the ink penetration rate of the image-receiving layer; having the steps of: a) applying the overcoat layer on top of the image-receiving layer at a thickness less than the maximum thickness, the maximum thickness being that thickness whereby an ink jet ink drop applied to the surface of the overcoat layer will not substantially penetrate the surface of the image-receiving layer; and b) applying the ink jet ink drop on the surface of the overcoat layer whereby the diameter of the ink jet ink dot is increased relative to that which would have been obtained if the overcoat layer had been coated at a thickness of at least the maximum thickness.

Abstract: A process for making an article with an image protected by a clear fluoropolymer film includes coating the inner surface of the fluoropolymer film with a layer of hydrophobic, ink receptive polymer composition compatible with the fluoropolymer film. An image is printed on the layer of hydrophobic, ink receptive polymer composition using an inkjet printhead supplied with a non-aqueous solvent based ink. The clear, printed fluoropolymer film is then adhered to a substrate with the inner surface facing the substrate whereby the image is viewable through and protected by the fluoropolymer film.

Abstract: A customized font based on fixed font cells having certain non-printable pixels along its perimeter, and formed by a pixel grid having a higher dpi horizontal resolution as compared to its vertical resolution. By preventing any marking dots on adjacent pixels in a given row, a minimal amount of ink drops can be used to print digitized characters, and higher throughput is obtained by using a printhead having a nozzle pitch which is the same as the vertical print resolution, and which has a swath width which allows a complete row of character cells to be printed in a single pass of the printhead across the media.

Abstract: In combination with an inkjet printer having a glossy topcoat deposition feature, a method for printing security marks on an inkjet-printed sheet which includes the step of modulating the deposition of the topcoat layer, rather applying it uniformly to the imaged surface of the sheet. Modulated deposition results in variations in gloss which are visible when the document is viewed at an angle. Three alternatives for modulation are possible: the topcoat layer may be applied to the entire sheet, but with the amount thereof deposited per unit area over the surface of the document alternating between a low value and a high value; the topcoat layer may be applied to the entire sheet, but with the amount thereof deposited per unit area varying over the surface of the document as a continuous function between a low value and a high value; or the topcoat layer may be applied to only portions of the document surface. Modulated application of the topcoat can be controlled using one of several available techniques; the standard print driver can be employed in a manner similar to that used for the printing of standard images with pigmented inks; the printer may be designed to accept a custom plug-in module procurable from a secure source (e.g., the printer manufacturer) which, when enabled by the standard print driver, controls the printing of a particular security mark design; or an internet-based vendor may provide a secure downloadable security mark design in much the same manner that printable postage stamps are provided through various vendors in conjunction with the U.S. Postal Service's Information Based Indicia Program.
