Liquid electrophotographic ink concentrates and methods of preparing the same are disclosed herein. An example of the method includes preparing a mixture of ink components using a first predetermined thermal profile. The ink components include a resin, a pigment, and a carrier. The method further includes preparing a microfluidizer with a composition at a temperature within a predetermined range and processing the mixture in the prepared microfluidizer to form the concentrate. Processing the mixture includes pressure-feeding the mixture into the prepared microfluidizer, passing the mixture through the prepared microfluidizer for a predetermined number of times, and utilizing a second predetermined thermal profile while passing the mixture through the prepared microfluidizer. A viscosity modifier is added to the mixture before and/or during the processing of the mixture.

A process for removing ink from a printed media substrate. Such process includes the step of providing a media substrate including an ink printed image wherein the ink composition or the media substrate contains photolabile entities. Then the process includes the step of applying UV light on the printed substrate wherein the emitted UV light has a wavelength value which is below the threshold wavelength of the photolabile entities.

A method for making a pigment dispersion can include dispersing pigment particles in an aqueous liquid medium to form a dispersion, adding a first monomer to form a dispersive coating on the pigment particles, adding a second monomer to the dispersion, and forming a polymer coating on the surface of the pigment particles by polymerizing the second monomer with the first monomer, wherein the polymer coating includes at least one urethane linkage or urea linkage.
摘要:
A system and method of ink-jet printing on vinyl print media can comprise jetting an ink-jet ink onto a vinyl print medium to form a printed image, and applying from 50-100° C. of heat to the printed image. The ink-jet ink can include a colorant, an aqueous liquid vehicle, and core-shell polymer particles. Upon printing and heating, at least a portion of the aqueous liquid vehicle evaporates, the vinyl print medium plasticizes (but does not flow), and the ink-jet ink flows. The fused polymer particles form a film that encapsulates at least a portion of the colorant.
