Abstract:
A thermal inkjet dye sublimation ink consists of a disperse dye colorant dispersion, a co-solvent system, an additive, and a balance of water. The colorant dispersion is present in an amount ranging from about 1 wt% actives to about 7 wt% actives. The co-solvent system is present in a total amount ranging from about 12 wt% to about 25 wt%. The co-solvent system consists of glycerol present in an amount ranging from about 9 wt% to about 16 wt%, ethoxylated glycerol present in an amount ranging from 0 wt% to about 5 wt%, and a water soluble or water miscible organic solvent present in an amount ranging from 0 wt% to about 7 wt%. The additive is selected from the group consisting of a surfactant, a chelating agent, a buffer, a biocide, and combinations thereof.

Abstract:
An example of an inkjet pre-treatment fluid for dye sublimation printing consists of a humectant; a cationic polymer; a surfactant; a co-solvent present in an amount up to about 50 wt% based on a total weight of the inkjet pre-treatment fluid; and a balance of water. In an example of a printing method, the inkjet pre-treatment fluid is inkjet printed onto a textile substrate to form a pre-treated area on the textile substrate.

The present disclosure is directed to ink sets and related methods for ink-jet printing on media, such as low-porous or non-porous print media. The inks and ink sets provide good chroma as well as good durability.
Abstract:
A thermal inkjet dye sublimation ink consists of a disperse dye colorant dispersion, primary and secondary solvents, a chelating agent, oleth-3-phosphate, additive(s), and water. The colorant dispersion is present in an amount ranging from about 1 wt% actives to about 7 wt% actives. The amount of the primary solvent (glycerol, ethoxylated glycerol, 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, dipropylene glycol, or combinations thereof) ranges from about 10 wt% to about 22 wt%, and the amount of the secondary solvent ranges from 0 wt% to about 7 wt%. The chelating agent amount ranges from 0 wt% actives to less than 0.1 wt% actives, and the oleth-3- phosphate amount ranges from about 0.1 wt% to about 0.75 wt%. The additive is selected from the group consisting of a buffer, a biocide, another surfactant, and combinations thereof.
Abstract:
Herein is described an inkjet printer cartridge, comprising: a printhead having a flow path; a reservoir in fluid communication with the printhead flow path, the reservoir containing an inkjet ink composition; and a shipping fluid present in the printhead flow path, wherein the shipping fluid comprises: a fadable colorant; a carbohydrate; and a liquid vehicle. A method of performing a nozzle check for an inkjet printhead is also described.
Abstract:
A printing method includes selecting a dye sublimation ink, having: a disperse dye colorant dispersion; a primary solvent selected from the group consisting of glycerol, ethoxylated glycerol, 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, dipropylene glycol, and combinations thereof; a surfactant selected from the group consisting of nonionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, and combinations thereof; an additive selected from the group consisting of a buffer, a biocide, a chelating agent, and combinations thereof; and a balance of water. An operating energy that includes a margin over a turn-on energy (TOE) for a thermal inkjet printhead is applied to a heating resistor of the printhead, wherein the margin ranges from about 10% to about 25% over the TOE. The dye sublimation ink is printed from the thermal inkjet printhead i) directly onto a textile substrate, or ii) onto a transfer medium to form an image thereon; and the image is transferred onto the textile substrate.
