摘要:
A dye-based ink includes a dye and a solvent. The dye-based ink has a high print quality on plain paper. The dye-based ink may have a print quality similar to pigment-based inks. This may be particularly relevant for black inks.

Anti-bronzing agents are added to ink-jet inks to prevent bronzing of the inks when printed on various types of media. The additive can be an amine anti-bronzing agent that is protonated when the ink-jet ink is printed on the print medium.
摘要:
An additive used in a print medium to reduce bronzing. The additive increases a pH of the print medium. The additive is an organic base or an inorganic base. The additive reduces bronzing of an image printed with a dye-based inkjet ink.

The present invention is drawn to dye sets for formulating ink-jet inks, including ink sets having six ink-jet inks. In one embodiment, the dye set can comprise a yellow dye for formulating a yellow ink, a pair of magenta dyes for formulating a magenta ink and a pale magenta ink, a pair of cyan dyes for formulating a cyan ink and a pale cyan ink, and a black dye for formulating a black ink-jet ink. The pair of magenta dyes can be a transition metal-containing azo dye and a non-metallized dye. The pair of cyan dyes can be a first copper phthalocyanine dye and a second copper phthalocyanine dye that is different than the first copper phthalocyanine dye.
摘要:
The present invention is drawn to a pigment-free ink-jet ink and method of producing a printed image. The ink-jet ink can comprise an aqueous liquid vehicle including 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-pyrrolidinone, and a colorant consisting essentially of a dye that is solubilized in the aqueous liquid vehicle.

摘要:
In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, an ink-jet ink can comprise a metallized phthalocyanine dye and a liquid vehicle carrying the dye. The liquid vehicle can include an amine additive present in the ink-jet ink at an effective concentration to cause improvement of ozone fastness. The improvement can be determined by comparing the ozone fastness of the ink-jet ink with a control ink-jet ink that does not include the amine additive.
摘要:
In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, an ink-jet ink can comprise a liquid vehicle including a halophenol and a metallized dye. Alternatively, a system for printing images with improved ozone fastness can comprise a printing medium including an ink-receiving layer coated thereon, wherein the ink-receiving layer includes semi-metal oxide or metal oxide particulates, and an ink-jet ink configured for printing on printing medium. The ink-jet ink can comprise a liquid vehicle including a protonated phenol devoid of water solubilizing moieties, and a metallized dye.
摘要:
A print command is received and a short, single, electrical precursor pulse is generated to preheat the ink components near the surface of the heating element. The precursor pulse returns precipitated ink components near the resistor to solution. For best results, the precursor pulse occurs approximately 1.50 microseconds prior to the main drive pulse even though other times, such as 1.00 microsecond, can produce adequate results. The main drive pulse then occurs to print the required information.
摘要:
Anti-bronzing agents are added to ink-jet inks to prevent bronzing of the inks when printed on various types of photographic media. The additive can include one or more anti-bronzing agents comprising certain planar aliphatic or planar aromatic ring structures. The planar ring-containing anti-bronzing agent can be present in an effective concentration to reduce bronzing of the ink-jet ink printed on the ink-receiving layer.
