Abstract:
An ink jettable underprint composition includes a reversible polymer material, which can reversibly transition between a liquid state and a solid state by reversible cycloaddition reactions, wherein upon cooling, the reversible polymer material transitions from a liquid state to a solid state by reversible cycloaddition reactions within a time period of less than about 10 seconds.
Abstract:
Ink compositions include an amorphous component, a crystalline material, and optionally a colorant. The amorphous component exhibits improved thermal stability and improved distribution in ink preparations; an ink composition includes an amorphous component including a modified polyol and a crystalline component, the modified polyol includes a bio-renewable content of at least 35% by weight.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein are curable solid inks which are solid at room temperature and molten at an elevated temperature at which the molten ink is applied to a substrate. In particular, the curable solid ink of the present embodiments comprises a cyclohexyl-based crystalline gellant that impart self-leveling capabilities to the inks, where the cyclohexyl-based crystalline gellant have a structure of Formula I: wherein each X, Y, p, q, R1, R2, R3, and R4 are as defined herein.
