A recording medium includes a substrate, and a deinking agent incorporated in the substrate, on the substrate in a layer, or both in the substrate and on the substrate in a layer. The deinking agent is chosen from an unsaturated fatty acid having from 19 to 23 carbon atoms and combinations of these unsaturated fatty acids. The deinking agent interacts with an ink having been printed on the recording medium to remove the ink during a deinking process.

A method of forming ionically-charged, colorant nanoparticles involves forming in-situ ionically-charged polyurethane monomers, and forming an emulsion including the ionically-charged polyurethane monomers and a colorant nanoparticle. The method further involves polymerizing or crosslinking the ionically-charged polyurethane monomers in the emulsion, where the polymerizing or crosslinking chemically attaches the ionically-charged polyurethane monomers to a surface of the colorant nanoparticle to form an ionically-charged encapsulation layer on the surface.

Organic photoconductors and methods of manufacturing the same are disclosed. An example method to manufacture an organic photoconductor involves applying a liquid solution to a surface of a cylindrically-shaped substrate while rotating the substrate about its axis, the substrate comprising a surface layer and the liquid solution comprising a matrix polymer species and a dopant species dissolved in a solvent. The example method further involves rotating the substrate while the solvent evaporates to provide a substantially evenly distributed seamless residue film comprising the matrix polymer species and the dopant species, and cross-linking the matrix polymer species of the residue film.

An ink-jet ink printing method and associated system can comprise a printer including an ink-jet ink. The ink comprises an aqueous liquid vehicle, 1 wt % to 5 wt % pigment, 1 wt % to 5 wt % acrylic polymer particles, 0.3 wt % to 3 wt % urethane polymer particles, and is formulated to print on a vinyl medium. The system also includes a heating device. Upon applying heat to the ink-jet ink printed on the vinyl medium, the polymer particles in the printed ink fuse, and form a film encapsulating at least a portion of the pigment on the vinyl print medium.

Methods of encapsulating particles (260) in polymer (275, 380, 385) and compositions of matter using such encapsulated particles (260). Methods include mixing particles (260) of one or more materials with one or more initial polymerizable monomers (265) to form a first suspension of monomer-wetted particles (260/265), mixing the first suspension with an aqueous dispersant medium (270) to form a second suspension, adding one or more initial reaction initiators to at least one of the first suspension and the second suspension, subjecting the second suspension to homogenization to form a stable submicron emulsion having an aqueous continuous phase, and reacting available polymerizable monomers (265) of the emulsion to encapsulate the particles (260) in one or more layers of polymer (275, 380, 385).
