摘要:
A system and method for creating an authentication mark on a recording medium by depositing marking material on a medium in an image area to create a marking material image and to create a marking material authentication image. The method comprises (a) depositing marking material directly onto a recording medium in an image area to create a marking material image and in an authentication image area to create a marking material authentication image, wherein the marking material is an ultraviolet curable phase change ink composition comprising an optional colorant and a phase change ink vehicle comprising a radiation curable monomer or prepolymer; a photoinitiator; a reactive wax; and a gellant; (b) depositing a predetermined amount of additional marking material upon the authentication image area to increase an amount of marking material associated with the marking material authentication image in the authentication image area; and (c) curing the marking material upon the recording medium such that the fixed marking material associated with the authentication image area is a tactilely perceptible authentication mark, the fixed marking material associated with the tactilely perceptible authentication mark having a first height, the first height being tactilely perceptible.

Positive and negative stamp masters derived from UV curable ink molds comprising ultraviolet (UV) curable inks and methods for digitally preparing those stamp masters. In particular, the digitally prepared molds provide a method of printing micropatterns of fine variable features or images in a more efficient manner than the methods currently available.

摘要:
A system and method create an authentication mark on a recording medium by depositing marking material on a medium in an image area to create a marking material image and to create a marking material authentication image. The marking material comprises an ultraviolet curable phase change ink composition comprising an optional colorant and a phase change ink vehicle comprising a radiation curable monomer or prepolymer; a photoinitiator; a reactive wax; and a gellant. A predetermined amount of additional marking material is further deposited upon the medium in the authentication image area to increase an amount of marking material associated with the marking material authentication image in the authentication image area. The fixed marking material associated with the authentication image area is a tactilely perceptible authentication mark having a height, with respect to a surface of the medium, that is tactilely perceptible, wherein the fixed marking material associated with the marking material image area is tactilely non-perceptible.

摘要:
A method for forming tactile images or a combination of tactile images and regular images, on a flexible packaging substrate comprising depositing an ultraviolet curable phase change ink composition comprising an optional colorant and a phase change ink vehicle comprising a radiation curable monomer or prepolymer; a photoinitiator; a reactive wax; and a gellant directly onto a flexible packaging substrate or depositing the ink onto an intermediate transfer member, in an image area to form a tactile image area or a combination of tactile image area and regular image; forming the tactile image by depositing multiple layers of the ink in locations of the tactile image or portion thereof; when an intermediate transfer member is used, transferring the deposited ink from the intermediate transfer member to the flexible packaging substrate; and curing the ink.

A composition that includes an stabilized silver nanoparticles, a gellant and an optional wax. The gellant and the stabilized silver nanoparticles are soluble or dispersable in either an isoparaffinic hydrocarbon solvent, a mineral oil solvent or an alkane solvent.
摘要:
Disclosed is an organic phase change carrier and a method for forming same, and a phase change ink including same. The organic phase change carrier comprises a colloidal dispersion of nanoparticles exhibiting a substantially uniform distribution of said nanoparticles discretely distributed therewithin, at least one curable monomer; a phase change inducing component, and an initiator. The organic phase change carrier exhibits a substantially uniform distribution of the nanoparticles so that they are discretely distributed therewithin, and are substantially resistant to the aggregation of the nanoparticles distributed therewithin.
