    摘要: Disclosed is a printing process which comprises applying in imagewise fashion to a substrate an ink composition which comprises an aqueous liquid vehicle, a colorant, and an ionic compound at least partially ionizable in the liquid vehicle, said ink composition having a conductivity of at least about 10 milliSiemens per centimeter, and subsequently exposing the substrate to microwave radiation, thereby drying the images on the substrate. A specific embodiment of the invention is directed to a thermal ink jet printing process which comprises (1) incorporating into a thermal ink jet printing apparatus an ink composition which comprises an aqueous liquid vehicle, a colorant, and an ionic compound at least partially ionizable in the liquid vehicle, said ink composition having a conductivity of at least about 10 milliSiemens per centimeter; (2) heating the ink in an imagewise pattern to cause bubbles to form therein, thereby causing droplets of the ink to be ejected in an imagewise pattern onto a substrate, thereby generating images on the substrate; and (3) exposing the substrate to microwave radiation, thereby drying the images on the substrate.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for controlling curl in a liquid ink printer. The liquid ink printer deposits an anticurl material on the side of a printed sheet opposite the one having printing deposited thereon. The anticurl material is a fluid which counteracts the steady state curl in the direction of the printed image resulting from active drying of the printed sheet. The back side of a printed sheet has deposited thereon an anticurl fluid which can contain water, a penetrant, and a humectant like material such as diethylene glycol, ethylene glycol, sulfolane and glycerin. The anticurl material is deposited with a roller made of a foam material for absorbing the anticurl fluid or a roller having dimples disposed on the surface thereof. In addition, the anticurl fluid can be deposited by a spray device or a thermal ink jet printhead ejecting anticurl fluid.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an ink composition including water, a solvent, a solvent-soluble dye, and a surfactant, where the ink exhibits a stable liquid microemulsion phase at a first temperature and a second temperature higher than the first temperature and has a conductivity of at most about 200 μS/cm and a dielectric constant of at least about 60, and methods of making such ink compositions. The present invention also relates to a method of making an ink composition for use in a microelectromechanical system-based fluid ejector. The method involves providing a solution or dispersion including a dye or a pigment and adding to the solution or dispersion an additive which includes a material that enhances dielectric permittivity and/or reduces conductivity under conditions effective to produce an ink composition having a conductivity of at most about 200 μS/cm and a dielectric constant of at least about 60.

    摘要: A photoelectrophoretic imaging apparatus in which a disposable, electrically biased blocking web has a portion thereof in contact with a moving heated member. A disposable imaging web, electrically biased to a polarity opposite to the polarity of the blocking web, contacts the heated portion of the blocking web. Photosensitive particles dispersed in a normally solid waxy binder matrix are interposed between the imaging web and the blocking web. A light image is projected onto the heated portion of the imaging web contacting the blocking web causing selective migration of the photosensitive particles in the liquefied waxy binder matrix in image configuration.
