A pigment dispersion includes a pigment and a dispersant, wherein an as formed curable phase change ink having the pigment dispersion added thereto, when filtered using a 1 micron filter at a temperature of 85° C., has a slope of ≧5 g/s and a T2/T1 of ≦1.6, wherein T2 represents a time to filter the last 25 g of a 100 g sample of the phase change ink through the 1 micron filter at 85° C., while T1 represents the time it takes to filter the first 25 g of the 100 g sample of the phase change ink through the 1 micron filter at 85° C.

This disclosure is generally directed to curable gel inks, such as radiation-curable phase-change inks, and their use in forming images, such as through inkjet printing. More specifically, this disclosure is directed to radiation-curable gel inks, such as ultraviolet-light-curable phase-change inks, that comprise a curable gellant and a curable solid.
摘要:
A phase change ink includes an ink vehicle that includes at least one curable carrier, at least one gellant, at least one wax and at least one alkoxysilane monomer. In a method of forming an image with the ink, the phase change ink is melted, then jetted onto an image receiving substrate, wherein the phase change ink forms a gel state, and exposed to ultraviolet light to cure the curable components of the phase change ink. The alkoxysilane participates in crosslinking to form silicon-oxygen-silicon bonds, thereby producing an ink with advantageous stability and high image quality.

A light-cyan radiation-curable gel ink including at least one curable monomer, at least one organic gellant, at least one photoinitiator, and a colorant. The colorant includes a cyan colorant, a hue-adjusting colorant that absorbs light having a wavelength of from about 500 to about 600 nm, and an optional shade-adjusting colorant that absorbs light having a wavelength of from about 400 to about 500 nm.

摘要:
Set forth is a method of forming an electrophoretic display device that includes locating a multiplicity of individual reservoirs containing a display fluid between conductive substrates, at least one of which is transparent, to form a device, wherein the display fluid comprises at least two sets of particles in a liquid medium, the at least two sets of particles exhibiting a different color, and charging each of the sets of particles to have a different charge via application of an electric field to the device. This field induced charging of the sets of differently colored particles enables low conductivity particles with superior electrophoretic mobility to be achieved.

Urea-urethane gellant compositions and methods of preparing the urea-urethane gellant compositions. The method includes adding an isocyanate, an alcohol or a diamine, and a solvent to a reaction vessel; stirring the reaction vessel at either ambient or elevated temperature; isolating an intermediate product from the reaction vessel; and converting the intermediate product to the organic gellant. The urea-urethane gellants are prepared in a manner to control the molecular weight and control the formation of dimers and trimers. The gellants may be used in curable gel inks.
