Abstract:
An ink-jet printing system comprising at least one ink-jet ink and a means for jetting an ink-jet ink onto a surface of a substantially non-absorbing ink-jet ink-receiver, characterized in that the ratio σ Sd/σ Ld of the dispersive surface energy of said ink-receiver surface a σ Sd over the dispersive surface energy of said ink-jet ink a σ Ld is greater than 0.9. A process for ink-jet printing is also claimed. High areal throughput ink-jet printing (e.g. >100 m2/hour) with curable inks can be performed on different kinds of ink-receiver surfaces with a good image quality and colour density due to a controlled spreading of the ink-drops which can be directly cured.

Abstract:
An inkjet printing method includes the steps of a) providing a first radiation curable composition curable by free radical polymerization or cationic polymerization; b) applying a layer of the first radiation curable composition on a substrate; c) curing the layer; d) jetting on the cured layer a second composition curable by a different polymerization than the first composition but selected from the group consisting of free radical polymerization and cationic polymerization; and e) curing the jetted second composition by a different polymerization than the first composition. The first composition includes a cationically polymerizable compound having at least one (meth)acrylate group present in the first curable composition in an amount of at least 25 wt % based upon the total weight of the first curable composition. An inkjet ink set may be used in the above inkjet printing method.
Abstract:
A radiation-curable ink-jet black ink is provided which includes a black pigment, at least one colour pigment and at least one radiation-curable compound. An ink-jet ink set which includes the radiation-curable ink-jet black ink and a process for printing with such an ink-jet ink set are also disclosed. Image quality defects of noticeable chromatic variation in adjacent print patches of bi-directional printing are eliminated and reduced ink consumption is observed.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A radiation curable composition comprising a curable compound, a photo-initiator and a co-initiator, characterized in that said co-initiator is a oligomer or polymer having a repeating unit, said repeating unit comprising at least two tertiary amines, and said polymer being prepared by the polycondensation of di- or oligofunctional Michael acceptors with mono- or oligofunctional aliphatic primary amines or with di- or oligofunctional aliphatic secondary amines or with a mixture thereof.
Abstract:
Radiation curable compositions with a polymeric co-initiator are disclosed comprising a dendritic polymer core with at least one co-initiating functional group as an end group. The dendritic polymeric core is preferably a hyperbranched polymer. Industrial applications include varnishes, lacquers and printing inks. The polymeric co-initiator is especially useful in radiation curable inkjet ink.
Abstract:
A printing process is disclosed for ink-jet printing a radiation curable image on a substrate (14). First a radiation curable liquid layer (12) is provided on at least a portion of the substrate (14). Radiation curable ink-jet ink droplets (10) are jetted into the radiation curable liquid layer (12) and the radiation curable liquid layer (12) containing the radiation curable ink-jet ink droplets (13) is then cured. The resolution of the radiation curable image is controlled by uniformly adjusting the thickness of the liquid layer (12) for the dotsize of the radiation curable ink-jet ink jetted onto the cured layer.
