- the ink composition may optionally comprise a humectant acting as a co-solvent.
- a suitable humectant depends on the requirements of the specific application involved, such as desired surface tension and viscosity, the desired drying time of the ink, and the type of paper onto which the ink will be printed.
- humectants that may be selected include (1) alcohols, such as methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, n-butyl alcohol, sec-butyl alcohol, t-butyl alcohol, iso-butyl alcohol, furfuryl alcohol, and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol; (2) ketones or ketoalcohols, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and diacetone alcohol; (3) ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran and dioxane; (4) esters, such as ethyl acetate, ethyl lactate, ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate; (5) polyhydric alcohols, such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, propylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, glycerol, 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol, 1,2,6-he
- preferred humectants include; diethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol (200 to 600), ethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, glycerin and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, by which the solubility of the employed dye in the solvent of the ink composition can be increased and the evaporation of water from the ink composition can be appropriately controlled, so that the initial properties of the ink composition can be maintained even for an extended period of continuous use or storage, or during the periods when the apparatus is not in use, whereby reliable ink droplet stability and ink droplet ejection response of the ink composition, particularly after a prolonged period of non-use of the apparatus, are obtained.
- the amount of humectant is determined by the desired properties of the ink and may range from about 0.1% to about 30% by weight of the ink composition.
- the ink composition may also optionally comprise additional colorants.
- Additional colorants useful in the present invention include pigments, self-dispersed pigment, polymeric pigment dispersions, pigment-dye blends, and combinations thereof.
- the pigment can be a polymeric pigment concentrate or self-dispersed pigment concentrate, or a combination of both.
- a pigment dispersion is a mixture of a pigment and a dispersing agent, typically a polymeric dispersant compound.
- a dispersing agent typically a polymeric dispersant compound.
- the term “pigment,” as used herein, means an insoluble colorant. The selected pigment may be used in dry or wet form.
- Suitable pigments include organic pigments, and essentially any of the classes of pigments heretofore used in this art, of a particle size sufficient to permit free flow of the ink through the ink jet printing device, especially at the ejecting nozzles that usually have a diameter ranging from about 10 microns to about 50 microns.
- a suitable pigment particle size ranges from about 0.02 to about 15, preferably from about 0.02 to about 5, and more preferably from about 0.02 to about 1, micron(s) so that when jetted, the pigment particle size ranges from about 0.005 to about 0.02 microns.
- Pigments suitable for use in the present invention include azo pigments, such as azo lakes, insoluble azo pigments, condensed azo pigments and chelate azo pigments, polycyclic pigments, perylene pigments, anthraquinone pigments, quinacridone pigments, dioxazine pigments, thioindigo pigments, isoindolinone pigments, quinophthalone pigments, and dry lakes.
- Suitable organic pigments include nitro pigments, aniline black and daylight fluorescent pigments.
- Preferred pigments include carbon black, Pigment Red 122, Pigment Red 202, Pigment Yellow 74, Pigment Yellow 128, Pigment Yellow 138, Pigment Yellow 155, Pigment Blue 15:3 and Pigment Blue 15:4.
- Dispersants may optionally be used in the present invention, for example, when a insoluble pigment is used.
- Appropriate dispersants include those known in the art, such as the acrylic terpolymers taught in commonly-assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,719,204, and other commonly known dispersants.

Abstract
Provided are novel yellow azo dyes which are useful in ink compositions, especially ink jet ink compositions. The dyes and ink compositions of the present invention exhibit a good balance of optical density, print reliability, water fastness and light fastness and exhibit improved water solubility, thus rendering the ink compositions to be especially suitable for printheads having small nozzle openings.
Description
- This invention belongs to the field of organic chemistry. In particular, it relates to certain azo dyes useful in ink jet ink compositions.
- Inks used in ink jet printing systems typically are comprised of various dyes either dissolved in water or an organic solvent or mixtures thereof. There is a need for inks having higher quality images, printing speed, improved water-fastness and lightfastness.
- In addition, one trend in modem ink jet printing is the use of printheads with smaller nozzle openings. The use of smaller nozzle openings thus requires higher solubility in water, so that the overall dye content in the ink composition can be increased to provide the same color strength in a smaller droplet, relative to traditional printheads and nozzle sizes.
- Provided are novel azo dyes which are useful in ink compositions, especially ink jet ink compositions. The dyes and ink compositions of the present invention exhibit a good to excellent balance of optical density, color value, waterfastness and lightfastness, while at the same time exhibiting improved solubility, thus rendering such ink compositions to be especially suitable for modern printheads.

- Dispersants may optionally be used in the present invention, for example, when a insoluble pigment is used. Appropriate dispersants include those known in the art, such as the acrylic terpolymers taught in commonly-assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,719,204, and other commonly known dispersants. Factors to be considered in selecting an appropriate dispersant include the following: First, the dispersant must firmly anchor to the pigment particle surface to withstand shear force and the competition of other chemical species. To ensure this anchoring, a careful match of the polarity of the pigment particle surface and the hydrophobic group in the dispersant is required. Second, the physical dimensions of the hydrophobic group in the dispersant must be adequate to fully cover the pigment surface, otherwise, the adsorbed polymer will act as a flocculent. Third, an electrostatic layer of a requisite thickness around the particle is needed to prevent aggregation of particles within the aqueous medium.
- The pigment to dispersant (weight) ratio is preferably from about 3:1 to about 5:1, but may vary from about 1:1 to about 9:1.
- Binder
- A binder may also optionally be used in the ink composition of the present invention to bridge the pigment particles within the ink and aid in their adhesion to the print medium. The use of a binder allows for greater ink durability and increased image permanence. High TG binders are generally preferred for long term jetting requirements, but low TG binders are preferable for smear permanence. Also preferred are unimodal random (not block) polymer binders. Binder may be present in amounts from 0-100 parts to 100 parts of pigment, preferably 5-30 parts to 100 parts pigment.

- The following Examples serve to illustrate the invention. Unless otherwise indicated, parts are parts by weight and percentages relate to percent by weight. The relationship between parts by weight and parts by volume is the same as that between kilograms and liters.
-
- A solution was prepared of 61.4 g of 4-amino-3-methoxyazobenzene-3′-sulfonic acid (prepared in conventional manner) in 300 mL of water containing 8 g of sodium hydroxide. When the solution was complete, it was diluted to 400 mL with water.
- A 2 liter beaker containing 200 mL water and 200% ice was placed in an ice/water bath. 18.4 g of finely ground cyanuric chloride was added to the beaker. With vigorous agitation, half of the amino-azobenzene derivative solution was added dropwise over 25 minutes. The temperature of the reaction was held at 0° C. by further addition of ice as required. When all of the solution was in, the pH of the mixture was slowly raised to about 6.2 by sifting in 8.4 g of sodium bicarbonate slowly over 15 minutes. After stirring further for about 15 minutes the red-brown slurry had changed to bright yellow and a thin-layer chromatogram showed completion of the reaction. The pH was also stable at 6.2.
- The second half of the amino-azobenzene derivative solution was then dropped in over 30 minutes. The ice/water bath was removed and the reaction temperature was allowed to rise to ambient, about 20° C. After stirring for 15 minutes more an additional 8.4 g of sodium bicarbonate was sifted into the reaction slurry over 15 minutes. The pH rose to 7.5 and the reaction was a clear yellow solution at 1100 mL volume. The reaction was stirred for an additional 16 hours at about 20° C.
- Next, 25 g Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) was added. The pH was raised to 9 by addition of sodium hydroxide solution. The solution was heated to 80-85° C. and held at this temperature and at pH 8.5 to 9 for at least four hours. The resultant bright yellow dye was highly soluble in water over a wide pH range and had very good lightfastness when used for ink jet printing on plain and special papers.
- The dye solution was subjected to reverse osmosis to remove excess taurine, impurities and salts. Conversion to other salt forms was accomplished by means of ion exchange according to well-known procedures.
-
- The general method of Example I was repeated except that the second half of the aminoazobenzene derivative solution was replaced by an equimolar amount of Amino G acid (2-naphthylamine-6,8-disulfonic acid) in solution, and the taurine was Replaced by 12.2 g of ethanolamine as the third reactant. A highly water-soluble Yellow dye of Formula (IIIa) was obtained. This dye also exhibited very good lightfastness when used in inks for ink jet printing on plain and special papers.
-
- The general method of Example 1 was repeated except that the second half of the aminoazobenzene derivative solution was replaced with 12.5 g taurine. The product was a solution of a highly water-soluble bright yellow dye, having very good lightfastness on plain or special papers when applied in inks by ink jet printing.
