    Abstract: A method of selecting a dye for use with a spreading vehicle can comprise the steps of evaluating a first dye having polar atoms and a second dye having polar atoms to determine a first polarity index and a second polarity index, respectively; and selecting the first dye or the second dye for inclusion in the spreading vehicle based upon a comparison of the first polarity index and the second polarity index. Further, a method of evaluating a dye and formulating an ink-jet ink can comprise the steps of providing a spreading ink-jet ink vehicle; selecting a dye to be evaluated for inclusion in the spreading ink-jet ink vehicle; determining the ratio of polar atoms to carbon atoms within the dye; selecting a desired polarity index ratio range; and admixing the dye with the spreading ink-jet ink vehicle if the ratio is within the desired polarity index ratio range. Additionally, an ink-jet ink composition exhibiting reduced orifice plate puddling can comprise an ink-jet ink vehicle containing 7% to 15% by weight of a 1,2-hexanediol solvent in the absence of added surfactant; and an effective amount of a dye having a normalized polarity index from about 7 to 12.

    Abstract: An inkjet drop ejection system comprises a combination of printhead components and ink, mutually tuned to maximize operating characteristics of the printhead and print quality and dry time of the ink. Use of a short shelf (distance from ink source to ink firing element), on the order of 55 microns, provides a very high speed refill. However, it is a characteristic of high speed refill that it has a tendency for being over-damped. To provide the requisite damping, the ink should have a viscosity greater than about 2 cp. In this way, the ink and architecture work together to provide a tuned system that enables stable operation at high frequencies. One advantage of the combination of a pigment and a dispersant in the ink is the resultant higher viscosity provided. The high speed would be of little value if the ink did not have a fast enough rate of drying. This is accomplished by the addition of alcohols or alcohol(s) and surfactant(s) to the ink. Fast dry times are achieved with a combination of alcohols, such as iso-propyl alcohol with a 4 or 5 carbon alcohol or with iso-propyl alcohol plus surfactant(s). One preferred embodiment of a short shelf (90 to 130 microns), ink viscosity of about 3 cp, and surface tension of about 54 provides a high speed drop generator capable of operating at about 12 KHz. Reducing the shelf length to about 55 microns, in combination with rotating the substrate at an angle to the scan direction, permits maximum drop generator operation as high as about 20 KHz. As a consequence of employing pigment-based inks, high optical densities are realized, along with excellent permanence (no fade and better waterfastness), and good stability. The combination of preferred ink and pen architecture provides good drop generator stability.
