Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a porous ink jet recording element and printing method using the element.
  • ink droplets are ejected from a nozzle at high speed towards a recording element or medium to produce an image on the medium.
  • the ink droplets, or recording liquid generally comprise a recording agent, such as a dye or pigment, and a large amount of solvent.
  • the solvent, or carrier liquid typically is made up of water and an organic material such as a monohydric alcohol, a polyhydric alcohol or mixtures thereof.
  • An ink jet recording element typically comprises a support having on at least one surface thereof an ink-receiving or image-receiving layer, and includes those intended for reflection viewing, which have an opaque support, and those intended for viewing by transmitted light, which have a transparent support.
  • porous recording elements have been developed which provide nearly instantaneous drying as long as they have sufficient thickness and pore volume to effectively contain the liquid ink.
  • a porous recording element can be manufactured by cast coating, in which a particulate-containing coating is applied to a support and is dried in contact with a polished smooth surface.
  • EP 1,002,660 relates to a porous ink jet recording element comprising fine particles, hydrophilic binder and a water-soluble, cationic polymer.
  • a porous ink jet recording element comprising fine particles, hydrophilic binder and a water-soluble, cationic polymer.
  • this element there is a problem with this element in that the density of an image printed on such an element using a water-soluble cationic polymer is lower than one would like.
  • an ink jet recording element comprising a support having thereon in order:
  • a porous ink jet recording element is obtained that has a good overall appearance with high gloss without cracking, has an excellent dry time and has high image densities when printed.
  • Another embodiment of the invention relates to an ink jet printing method, comprising the steps of:
  • the recording element of the invention contains a base layer containing certain particles, next to the support, the function of which is to absorb the solvent from the ink. These particles may be the same or different from the (a) particles in the image-receiving layer, described hereinafter.
  • This base layer may also contain a binder, such as those binders described hereinafter for the image-receiving layer.
  • Examples of (a) particles useful in the invention include alumina, boehmite, clay, calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, calcined clay, aluminosilicates, silica, barium sulfate, or polymeric beads.
  • the particles may be porous or nonporous.
  • the particles are metallic oxides, preferably fumed. While many types of inorganic and organic particles are manufactured by various methods and commercially available for an image-receiving layer, porosity of the ink-receiving layer is necessary in order to obtain very fast ink drying. The pores formed between the particles must be sufficiently large and interconnected so that the printing ink passes quickly through the layer and away from the outer surface to give the impression of fast drying. At the same time, the particles must be arranged in such a way so that the pores formed between them are sufficiently small that they do not scatter visible light.
  • the (a) particles may be in the form of primary particles, or in the form of secondary aggregated particles.
  • the aggregates are comprised of smaller primary particles 7 to 40 nm in diameter, and being aggregated up to 300 nm in diameter.
  • the pores in a dried coating of such aggregates fall within the range necessary to ensure low optical scatter yet sufficient ink solvent uptake.
  • fumed metallic oxides which may be used in the invention as the (a) particles include alumina, silica and cationic silica. Fumed metallic oxides are available in dry form or as dispersions of the aggregates mentioned above.
  • the (b) water insoluble, cationic, polymeric particles comprising at least 20 mole percent of a cationic mordant moiety useful in the invention can be in the form of a latex, water dispersible polymer, beads, or core/shell particles wherein the core is organic or inorganic and the shell in either case is a cationic polymer.
  • Such particles can be products of addition or condensation polymerization, or a combination of both. They can be linear, branched, hyper-branched, grafted, random, blocked, or can have other polymer microstructures well known to those in the art. They also can be partially crosslinked. Examples of core/shell particles useful in the invention are disclosed and claimed in U.S. Patent Application Serial No.
  • the water insoluble, cationic, polymeric particles comprise at least 50 mole percent of a cationic mordant moiety.
  • the (b) water insoluble, cationic, polymeric particles useful in the invention can be derived from nonionic, anionic, or cationic monomers. In a preferred embodiment, combinations of nonionic and cationic monomers are employed. In general, the amount of cationic monomer employed in the combination is at least 20 mole percent.
  • the nonionic, anionic, or cationic monomers employed can include neutral, anionic or cationic derivatives of addition polymerizable monomers such as styrenes, alpha-alkylstyrenes, acrylate esters derived from alcohols or phenols, methacrylate esters, vinylimidazoles, vinylpyridines, vinylpyrrolidinones, acrylamides, methacrylamides, vinyl esters derived from straight chain and branched acids (e.g., vinyl acetate), vinyl ethers (e.g., vinyl methyl ether), vinyl nitriles, vinyl ketones, halogen-containing monomers such as vinyl chloride, and olefins, such as butadiene.

  • the (b) water insoluble, cationic, polymeric particles employed in this invention can be prepared using conventional polymerization techniques including, but not limited to bulk, solution, emulsion, or suspension polymerization.
  • the amount of (b) water insoluble, cationic, polymeric particles used should be high enough so that the images printed on the recording element will have a sufficiently high density, but low enough so that the interconnected pore structure formed by the aggregates is not filled.
  • the weight ratio of (b) water insoluble, cationic, polymeric particles to (a) particles is from 1:2 to 1:10, preferably 1:5.
  • (b) water insoluble, cationic, polymeric particles which may be used in the invention include those described in U.S. Patent 3,958,995 . Specific examples of these polymers include:
  • the image-receiving layer also contains a polymeric binder in an amount insufficient to alter the porosity of the porous receiving layer.

  • the hydrophilic polymer is poly(vinyl alcohol), hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, gelatin, or a poly(alkylene oxide).
  • the hydrophilic binder is poly(vinyl alcohol). The polymeric binder should be chosen so that it is compatible with the aforementioned particles.
  • the amount of binder used should be sufficient to impart cohesive strength to the ink jet recording element, but should also be minimized so that the interconnected pore structure formed by the aggregates is not filled in by the binder.
  • the weight ratio of the binder to the total amount of particles is from 1:20 to 1:5.
  • the void volume must be sufficient to absorb all of the printing ink. For example, if a porous layer has 60 volume % open pores, in order to instantly absorb 32 cc/m 2 of ink, it must have a physical thickness of at least 54 ⁇ m.
  • the thickness of layer I) is between 35 and 50 ⁇ m to absorb all the solvent from the ink so that the recording element will be quick drying.
  • the thickness of layer II) is between 2 and 6 ⁇ m so that the image density of an image printed thereon will be optimized.
