摘要:
Release layers, and particularly low surface tension aqueous solutions, such as fountain solutions, which function as release layers. These release layers are integrated into copying and printing machines, such as xerographic machines, multifunctional devices, color systems, and the like, wherein the release layers are specifically incorporated onto a hydrophilic roll material for contact leveling of UV curable gel inks.

摘要:
A substantially colorless radiation overcoat composition suitable for overcoating ink-based images and xerographic-based images. The overcoat composition comprises at least one gellant, at least one monomer, at least one substantially non-yellowing photoinitiator, optionally a curable wax, and optionally a surfactant.
摘要:
A method of controlling gloss of an image includes forming an image over a substrate by applying a colored or colorless composition, included a colored ink and/or a colorless overcoat composition, over one or more portions of the substrate, wherein the colored or colorless composition includes at least one gellant, at least one curable monomer, at least one curable wax and optionally at least one photoinitiator, wherein the colored or colorless composition is curable upon exposure to radiation, and curing the colored or colorless composition following application by applying radiation to the colored or colorless composition and, during the curing, controlling an amount of oxygen present in an atmosphere around the image.
摘要:
A method of controlling gloss of an image includes determining a desired gloss of an image; in an overcoat composition of at least one gellant, at least one curable monomer, at least one curable wax and optionally at least one photoinitiator, wherein the overcoat composition is curable upon exposure to radiation, setting the amount of at least one curable wax to include in the overcoat composition based on the determined desired gloss; preparing the overcoat composition to contain the set amount of the at least one curable wax; applying the overcoat composition over a substrate; and applying radiation to substantially cure the overcoat composition.
摘要:
A method of controlling gloss of an image includes applying an overcoat composition of at least one gellant, at least one curable monomer, at least one curable wax and optionally at least one photoinitiator over a substrate, wherein the overcoat composition is curable upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation; following the applying of the overcoat composition and prior to curing the overcoat composition by applying ultraviolet radiation, applying heat to heat the applied overcoat composition to a temperature of at least 35° C.; and subsequent to the applying heat, applying ultraviolet radiation to the overcoat composition to substantially cure the overcoat composition.

摘要:
Ink jettable, radiation curable overprint compositions containing at least one radiation curable oligomer/monomer, at least one photoinitiator, and at least one surfactant are disclosed. The overprint compositions are particularly well-suited for protecting ink-based and toner-based images on substrates subjected to abrasives, heat, and/or sunlight since the compositions protect such images from smearing, cracking, and fading.
摘要:
A process for preparing a coated image and a recording medium with a coated image thereon. The coated image includes a solid ink image prepared with solid ink and an overcoat that at least partially covers the solid ink image. An aqueous overcoat composition for application to a solid ink image containing at least one latex emulsion, at least one polymer wax or wax emulsion, and at least one co-binder.
