摘要:
A radiation curable phase change ink preferably used in piezoelectric ink jet devices includes an ink vehicle that includes at least one curable epoxy-polyamide gellant, and at least one colorant. The use of the gellant enables the ink to form a gel state having a viscosity of at least 103 mPa·s at very low temperatures of about 25° C. to about 100° C. The ink may thus be jetted, for example onto an intermediate tansfer member surface or directly to an image receiving substrate, at very low jetting temperatures of, for example, about 40° C. to about 110° C. In a preferred method of forming an image with the ink, the ink is heated to a first temperature at which the ink may be jetted, jetted onto an image receiving or intermediate transfer member surface maintained at a second temperature at which the ink forms a gel state, if appropriate subsequently transferred from the intermediate transfer member surface to an image receiving substrate, and exposed to radiation energy to cure the curable components of the ink.

摘要:
An ink jet ink includes an ink vehicle, wherein the ink vehicle includes at least one wax monomer functionalized to include in the chain at least one reactive group curable upon exposure to radiation. The reactive group is preferably curable via cationic or free radical polymerization. In a preferred embodiment, the ink vehicle includes a wax monomer having a structure: wherein C represents a cationically curable group and R represents a radically curable group. The inks may be used to form an image by jetting the ink onto a transfuse member surface, increasing the viscosity of the ink upon the transfuse member surface, subsequently transferring the ink from the transfuse member surface to an image receiving substrate, and exposing the ink to radiation following the transfer to the image receiving substrate to effect reaction of the at least one reactive group.

摘要:
A radiation curable phase change ink preferably used in piezoelectric ink jet devices includes an ink vehicle that includes at least one gellant comprised of a curable polyamide-epoxy acrylate component and a polyamide component, and at least one colorant. The use of the gellant enables the ink to form a gel state having a viscosity of at least 103 mPa·s at very low temperatures of about 25° C. to about 100° C. The ink may thus be jetted at very low jetting temperatures of, for example, about 40° C. to about 110° C. The ink may be used to form an image by heating the ink to a first temperature at which the ink may be jetted, jetting onto a member or substrate maintained at a second temperature at which the ink forms a gel state, and exposing the ink to radiation energy to polymerize curable components of the ink.
