Systems and methods for producing permanent ink-jet images are provided. In one embodiment, a system includes a media substrate coated with a porous media coating, wherein the porous media coating having inorganic porous particulates, and wherein at least a portion of the inorganic porous particulates have a first reactive group covalently attached thereto. The system further includes an ink-jet ink containing a dye, wherein the dye includes a second reactive group, and wherein the first reactive group and the second reactive group are configured to react with one another upon contact to form a covalent bond. In an alternative embodiment, a method of producing permanent ink-jet images can includes the steps of covalently bonding a first reactive group to an inorganic porous particulate; coating the inorganic porous particulate onto a media substrate to form a coated media substrate; ink-jetting a dye-containing ink-jet ink composition onto the coated media substrate, wherein the dye includes a second reactive group. The first reactive group and the second reactive group, upon contact, can interact to form a covalent bond.

摘要:
The present invention is drawn to the thermal transfer overcoating of images printed on porous media, and methods of overcoating images printed on porous media. Upon use of the systems and methods of the present invention, a thermally coated print is generated that can comprise a porous media substrate having printed thereon a digitally produced image. The digitally produced image and the porous media substrate is thermally coated by an adhesive protective layer, wherein the adhesive protective layer has a tangent d that is greater than 1 and melt viscosity less than 1×105 Pa.·sec. as applied above its phase transition temperature. Thus, the voids in the porous media substrate can be substantially filled, and further, substantially no tags remain on the print.
摘要:
A media sheet which can be used with a new system and method of the present invention is provided. Specifically, a media sheet can comprise a substrate, a porous dye-receiving layer deposited on the substrate, and a porous ionic layer deposited on the porous dye-receiving layer. Thus, when the ink-jet ink is printed onto the media sheet, ink-jet ink passes substantially through the porous ionic layer and onto the porous dye-receiving layer forming an ink-jet ink-containing media sheet. A fluid sealant composition having an opposite polarity than the ionically-charged surfaces can then be applied. Upon application of the fluid sealant to the ink-jet ink-containing media sheet, an interpolymer complex is formed sealing the ink-jet ink in the media sheet.
