Abstract: A thermal ink jet ink composition includes one or more volatile organic solvents, wherein the one or more volatile organic solvents comprise a solvent selected from C1-C4 alcohols, C3-C6 ketones, C3-C6 esters, C4-C8 ethers, and mixtures thereof. The one or more volatile organic solvents are present in an amount at least 60% by weight of the ink composition. The ink composition includes one or more binder resins present in an amount from 1% to 10% by weight of the ink composition, and one or more dyes. If water is present, it is present in amount less than 5% by weight of the ink composition. The ink composition includes less than 2% by weight of any humectant and/or wetting agent with a relative evaporation rate less than 0.3. The ink composition is suitable for use in a thermal ink jet printer.
