摘要:
A container is provided with a liquid container for containing a liquid and a liquid supply for discharging the liquid of the liquid container. An electronic component is allowed to store data concerning the liquid contained and exchange data with an external device. A takeout step is to take the electronic component out of the liquid cartridge spent. A screening step is to screen out a reusable electronic component out of the electronic components removed. An attaching step is to attach the electronic component screened, in a new container for the liquid cartridge. A write step is to cause the electronic component to store new information.

An object is to provide a recorded article or sticker whereby counterfeited articles and genuine articles can be visually distinguished in simple fashion in the market and wherein it is not possible to identify in the market the location and type of the anti-counterfeiting measures that have been taken. Both an overt region 3 (which can be recognized visually in the market) are printing using a color-change ink or liquid-crystal ink, for example, and a covert region 5 formed by for example optical retro-reflective printing (which cannot be recognized without using a special tool) are provided on the surface of the same recording medium. The overt region 3 and the covert region 4 may be arranged at different locations or may overlap, or may be positionally aligned. The overt letter/design pattern and the covert letter/design pattern may be the same or different. An overt recording that is printed using liquid-crystal ink may also function as a covert recording by employing a genuineness inspection method using a circularly polarized plate. A sticker may be provided with one or a plurality of cuts such that the sticker is broken when peeled off, so that it cannot be re-used.

Disclosed are an ink composition which can satisfy, on a high level, various property requirements for ink compositions for use in ink jet recording (e.g., excellent ejection stability and realization of images free from feathering or color-to-color bleeding) and can realize good images by sublimation transfer. A sublimation transfer ink jet recording method using the ink composition is also disclosed. The ink composition comprises a heat transferable dye, a glycol ether, an acetylene glycol surfactant, and water. This ink composition is printed by ink jet recording onto an intermediate transfer medium to form a latent image on the intermediate transfer medium, and the intermediate transfer medium is then put on the surface of a receptor object, followed by heating of the intermediate transfer medium at a sufficient temperature and for a sufficient time to sublimate the heat transferable dye and to deposit the sublimated dye onto the surface of the receptor object. This recording method can realize good transferred images suffering from minimized bleeding.

摘要:
Pigment dispersed aqueous ink jet ink compositions suitable for printing on plain paper. The ink comprises water as the principal solvent, a pigment and a pigment dispersant. The pigment dispersant is a derivative of a polyuronic acid in which a hydrophobic polymer is covalently attached to the reducing terminus of the polyuronic acid. The polyuronic acid is composed primarily of 1,4-linked polygalacturonic acid, polyguluronic acid, polyiduronic acid, or mixed polymers thereof.

An aqueous fluid ink particularly well suited for use in an ink jet printer is provided. The aqueous fluid ink compositions include a humectant in combination with urea for efficiently lowering the freezing point without a significant increase in viscosity. Aqueous fluid ink compositions prepared in accordance with the invention include at least one humectant selected from the group consisting of aliphatic polyhydric alcohols, alkyl ether derivatives of the aliphatic polyhydric alcohols and acetate ester derivatives of the aliphatic polyhydric alcohols, urea, a water-soluble dye and water. Viscosity is maintained between about 2 and 3 centipoises at 20.degree. C. and a quick drying ink is provided by adjusting the pH to between about 12 and 13.5.
