摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for printing a reactive ink and a fixer or a second reactive ink onto a substrate from a single orifice plate. The reactive ink(s) and the fixer react to form a precipitate which is soluble in at least one of the fixer or the ink(s).

Systems and methods for providing smudge resistant and durable ink-jet images are provided. Specifically, a system for printing durable ink-jet ink images can comprise a first printhead containing a fixer composition including a charged fixer component, wherein the first printhead is configured for ink-jet printing the fixer composition on a substrate. The system can further comprise a second printhead containing an ink-jet ink, wherein the second printhead is configured for ink-jet printing the ink-jet ink composition over the fixer composition. The ink-jet ink can also include a colorant carrying an opposite charge with respect to the charged fixer component. A third printhead containing a polymer overcoat composition can also be present, and can be configured for ink-jet printing the polymer overcoat composition over ink-jet ink composition. The polymer of the polymer overcoat composition can also carry an opposite charge with respect to the charged fixer component.
摘要:
Compositions, systems, and methods for ink-jet printing having improved black to color bleed control, reduced wicking, and/or reduced halo are described. The composition can include a functionalized carbon pigment dispersed in an ink vehicle. The carbon pigment includes functional groups chemically attached thereto. Suitable functional groups includes an aromatic ring structure having multiple carboxyl groups (or salts thereof) attached to the aromatic ring structure, wherein at least two of the multiple carboxyl groups are positioned on adjacent carbon atoms of the aromatic ring structure.
摘要:
The present invention is drawn to methods and architecture for depositing one or more self-assembled monolayer(s) onto a print nozzle orifice plate surface. In particular, the servicing fluid includes a self-assembled monolayer-forming agent and is applied using a wiper. The wiper is configured to service and maintain an orifice plate surface having a pre-existing self-assembled monolayer, or for initial application of a self-assembled monolayer to an orifice plate.
摘要:
A fluid dispensing system for ink-jet printing can comprise an ink-jet ink including anionic dye colorant and from 0.05 wt % to 1.0 wt % of an anionic dispersant polymer, and a fixer composition including a cationic crashing agent that is with a component of the ink-jet ink. The fixer composition can be stored separately from the ink-jet ink, and the fluid dispensing system can be configured for overprinting or underprinting the fixer composition with respect to the ink-jet ink.
