Abstract: The invention relates to the use of cationic latex particles that can complex with anionic dyes to provide water fastness and further to provide a medium in which inherently unstable anionic dyes can be brought in close proximity with other anionic components, by complexation to cationic latices, in order to stabilize the anionic dyes especially with regard to light and oxidative degradation. In particular this invention will provide for methods of generating waterfast and improved lightfast ink jet images.

Abstract: A surface evaluation system is described for evaluating a surface. A chromophore application system is used for applying a monolayer of a voltage sensitive chromophore to the surface, wherein the applied voltage sensitive chromophore is covalently bound to the surface and has a fluorescence emission spectrum which varies in accordance with a characteristic of the surface. An irradiation source irradiates the monolayer of the covalently bound voltage sensitive chromophore with actinic radiation. A fluorescence sensing system measures a fluorescence emission spectrum from the irradiated monolayer of the covalently bound voltage sensitive chromophore, and an analysis system analyzes the measured fluorescence emission spectrum to evaluate the characteristic of the surface.
