Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a porous ink jet recording element and a 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.
  • 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.
  • U.S. Patent 6,089,704 relates to a nonporous ink jet recording element comprising cationic polymeric vinyl latex and a hydrophilic polymer.
  • this nonporous recording element there is a problem with this nonporous recording element in that it images printed thereon dry too slowly.
  • U.S. Patent 6,096,469 relates to an ink jet recording element comprising mesoporous particles dispersed in an organic binder.
  • the organic binder can be a cationic latex polymer "having less than 10 mole percent of a copolymerizable monomer having a tertamino or quaternary ammonium functionality.”
  • this element there is a problem with this element in that the density of an image printed on such an element with a binder having less than 10 mole percent of a cationic mordant functionality is lower than one would like.
  • WO-A-9939914 discloses an image-receiving layer in which the amount of binder is at least 30 weight percent. Inorganic particles are used as mordants rather than to create a porous image-receiving layer.
  • the recording element of WO-A-9939914 is an example of a non-porous media that absorbs ink by diffusion, rather than capillary action as in porous media.
  • US-A-5418078 and EP-A-0956971 disclose non-porous image-receiving layers comprising a cationic polymer.
  • EP-A-1034940 discloses cationic polymers that are either water-soluble or soluble in a solvent mixture of water and water miscible organic solvents when coated, hence, not in the form of particles.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a printing method using the above-described element.
  • an ink jet recording element comprising a support having thereon a porous image-receiving layer comprising:
  • a porous ink jet recording element is obtained that, when printed with dye-based inks, provides superior optical densities, good image quality and has an excellent dry time.
  • the invention also relates to an inkjet printing method comprising the steps of
  • 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.
  • addition polymerizable monomers such as styrenes, alpha-alkylstyrenes, acrylate esters derived from alcohols or phenols, methacrylate esters, vinylimidazoles, vinylpyridines, vinylpyrroli
  • 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 up to 20 weight percent in an amount insufficient to alter the porosity of the porous receiving layer.
  • the polymeric binder is a hydrophilic polymer such as poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), gelatin, cellulose ethers, poly(oxazolines), poly(vinylacetamides), partially hydrolyzed poly(vinyl acetate/vinyl alcohol), poly(acrylic acid), poly(acrylamide), poly(alkylene oxide), sulfonated or phosphated polyesters and polystyrenes, casein, zein, albumin, chitin, chitosan, dextran, pectin, collagen derivatives, collodian, agar-agar, arrowroot, guar, carrageenan, tragacanth, xanthan, rhamsan and the like.
  • 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 recording element may also contain a base layer, next to the support, the function of which is to absorb the solvent from the ink.
  • Materials useful for this layer include (a) particles, (b) particles, polymeric binder and/or crosslinker.
  • 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 support for the ink jet recording element used in the invention can be any of those usually used for ink jet receivers, such as resin-coated paper, paper, polyesters, or microporous materials such as polyethylene polymer-containing material sold by PPG Industries, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania under the trade name of Teslin ®, Tyvek ® synthetic paper (DuPont Corp.), and OPPalyte® films (Mobil Chemical Co.) and other composite films listed in U.S. Patent 5,244,861.
  • Opaque supports include plain paper, coated paper, synthetic paper, photographic paper support, melt-extrusion-coated paper, and laminated paper, such as biaxially oriented support laminates. Biaxially oriented support laminates are described in U.S.
  • biaxially oriented supports include a paper base and a biaxially oriented polyolefin sheet, typically polypropylene, laminated to one or both sides of the paper base.
  • Transparent supports include glass, cellulose derivatives, e.g., a cellulose ester, cellulose triacetate, cellulose diacetate, cellulose acetate propionate, cellulose acetate butyrate; polyesters, such as poly(ethylene terephthalate), poly(ethylene naphthalate), poly(1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene terephthalate), poly(butylene terephthalate), and copolymers thereof; polyimides; polyamides; polycarbonates; polystyrene; polyolefins, such as polyethylene or polypropylene; polysulfones; polyacrylates; polyetherimides; and mixtures thereof.
  • the papers listed above include a broad range of papers, from high end papers, such as photographic paper to low end papers, such as newsprint. In a preferred embodiment, polyethylene-coated paper is employed.
  • the surface of the support may be subjected to a corona-discharge treatment prior to applying the image-receiving layer.
  • Coating compositions employed in the invention may be applied by any number of well known techniques, including dip-coating, wound-wire rod coating, doctor blade coating, rod coating, air knife coating, gravure and reverse-roll coating, slide coating, bead coating, extrusion coating, curtain coating and the like.
  • Known coating and drying methods are described in further detail in Research Disclosure no. 308119, published Dec. 1989, pages 1007 to 1008. Slide coating is preferred, in which the base layers and overcoat may be simultaneously applied. After coating, the layers are generally dried by simple evaporation, which may be accelerated by known techniques such as convection heating.
  • crosslinkers which act upon the binder discussed above may be added in small quantities. Such an additive improves the cohesive strength of the layer.
  • Crosslinkers such as carbodiimides, polyfunctional aziridines, aldehydes, isocyanates, epoxides, polyvalent metal cations, and the like may all be used.
  • UV absorbers may also be added to the image-receiving layer as is well known in the art.
  • Other additives include pH modifiers, adhesion promoters, rheology modifiers, surfactants, biocides, lubricants, dyes, optical brighteners, matte agents, antistatic agents, etc.
  • additives known to those familiar with such art such as surfactants, defoamers, alcohol and the like may be used.
  • a common level for coating aids is 0.01 to 0.30 % active coating aid based on the total solution weight.
  • These coating aids can be nonionic, anionic, cationic or amphoteric. Specific examples are described in MCCUTCHEON's Volume 1: Emulsifiers and Detergents, 1995, North American Edition.
  • the coating composition can be coated either from water or organic solvents, however water is preferred.
  • the total solids content should be selected to yield a useful coating thickness in the most economical way, and for particulate coating formulations, solids contents from 10-40% are typical.
  • the ink jet inks used to image the recording elements of the present invention are well-known in the art.
  • the ink compositions used in ink jet printing typically are liquid compositions comprising a solvent or carrier liquid, dyes or pigments, humectants, organic solvents, detergents, thickeners, preservatives, and the like.
  • the solvent or carrier liquid can be solely water or can be water mixed with other water-miscible solvents such as polyhydric alcohols.
  • Inks in which organic materials such as polyhydric alcohols are the predominant carrier or solvent liquid may also be used. Particularly useful are mixed solvents of water and polyhydric alcohols.
  • the dyes used in such compositions are typically water-soluble direct or acid type dyes.
  • Such liquid compositions have been described extensively in the prior art including, for example, U.S. Patents 4,381,946; 4,239,543 and 4,781,758.
