Ink vehicles having improved gellant solubility and ink compositions including such ink vehicles are provided. Exemplary ink vehicles include first and second co-monomers, and a gellant that includes that includes a curable epoxy-polyamide composite gellant; in which the first and second co-monomers are radiation curable are different from each other. Additional exemplary ink vehicles include at least two chemically distinct gellants. The chemically distinct gellant materials include a first gellant that includes a curable epoxy-polyamide composite gellant, and a second gellant that includes an amide gellant. Methods for making and using these ink vehicles and ink compositions are also provided.
摘要:
There is provided novel curable ink compositions comprising surfactant-coated magnetic metal nanoparticles. In particular, there is provided ultraviolet (UV) curable gel inks comprising at least a coated magnetic metal nanoparticles, one curable monomer, a radiation activated initiator that initiates polymerization of curable components of the ink, and optionally a gellant. The inks may also include optional colorants and one or more optional additives. These curable UV ink compositions can be used for ink jet printing in a variety of applications.
摘要:
A process including disposing at least one phase separation ink in an imagewise fashion onto a final image receiving substrate to form an ink image, wherein disposing is at a first temperature at which the at least one phase separation ink is in a molten, unseparated state; cooling the ink image to a second temperature sufficient to initiate crystallization of at least one component of the at least one phase separation ink, wherein at the second temperature the at least one phase separation ink comprises a crystalline phase and an amorphous phase; wherein the amorphous phase of the at least one phase separation ink substantially penetrates into the final image receiving substrate; and wherein the crystalline phase of the at least one phase separation ink substantially remains on the surface of the final image receiving substrate; applying pressure to the ink image on the final image receiving substrate; and allowing the ink to complete crystallization.
