Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved recording element for ink jet printing.
  • ink jet printing has become a popular technique because of its simplicity, convenience and low cost. Especially in those instances where a limited edition of the printed matter is needed ink jet printing has become a technology of choice.
  • a recent survey on progress and trends in ink jet printing technology is given by Hue P. Le in Journal of Imaging Science and Technology Vol. 42 (1), Jan/Febr 1998.
  • ink jet printing tiny drops of ink fluid are projected directly onto an ink receptor surface without physical contact between the printing device and the receptor.
  • the printing device stores the printing data electronically and controls a mechanism for ejecting the drops image-wise. Printing is accomplished by moving the print head across the paper or vice versa.
  • Early patents on ink jet printers include US 3,739,393, US 3,805,273 and US 3,891,121.
  • the jetting of the ink droplets can be performed in several different ways.
  • a continuous droplet stream is created by applying a pressure wave pattern. This process is known as continuous ink jet printing.
  • the droplet stream is divided into droplets that are electrostatically charged, deflected and recollected, and into droplets that remain uncharged, continue their way undeflected, and form the image.
  • the charged deflected stream forms the image and the uncharged undeflected jet is recollected.
  • several jets are deflected to a different degree and thus record the image (multideflection system).
  • the ink droplets can be created “on demand” (“DOD” or “drop on demand” method) whereby the printing device ejects the droplets only when they are used in imaging on a receiver thereby avoiding the complexity of drop charging, deflection hardware, and ink recollection.
  • DOD on demand
  • the ink droplet can be formed by means of a pressure wave created by a mechanical motion of a piezoelectric transducer (so-called “piezo method”), or by means of discrete thermal pushes (so-called “bubble jet” method, or “thermal jet” method).
  • Ink compositions for ink jet typically include following ingredients : dyes or pigments, water and/or organic solvents, humectants such as glycols, detergents, thickeners, polymeric binders, preservatives, etc.. It will be readily understood that the optimal composition of such an ink is dependent on the ink jetting method used and on the nature of the substrate to be printed.
  • the ink compositions can be roughly divided in :
  • RC-paper resin coated paper
  • This support is usually polyethylene or polypropylene coated high quality paper, as it is also widely used in photographic industry.
  • a problem when using such supports for ink receiving layers is the criticallity of the so-called “adhesion dry” property. This means that on further handling of the finished ink jet image the ink receiver layer tends to get loose from the RC-paper support. When this phenomenon occurs in several areas the finished image gets a crumpled outlook and becomes unsuitable.
  • the present invention seeks to remedy the problem of insufficient adhesion in dry state when RC-coated paper is used as support for a typical ink receiver layer.
  • the present invention further seeks to shorten the drying time after ink jet printing.
  • an ink jet recording material comprising a resin coated paper support and an ink receiving layer, characterized in that between said support and said ink receiving layer there is an adhesion promoting layer present comprising a binder and a cationic inorganic pigment.
  • this cationic inorganic pigment is chosen from the group consisting of aluminum oxides, aluminum hydroxides, alumina hydrates, aluminum silicates, and cationically modified silicas.
  • the paper used for RC-paper has usually photograde quality which means that it has a very uniform outlook.
  • the thickness corresponds to about 100-200 g/m 2 .
  • the resin can be chosen from several olefinic polymers, e.g. polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene. Most preferred is polyethylene which can be high density or low density polyethylene or mixtures of both. The thickness may vary between 10 and 30 ⁇ m. After extrusion of the polyethylene a coronation treatment may be performed.
  • the resin coverage may be symmetrical (the same on both sides), or asymetrical, e.g. more on the back side for anti-curl purposes.
  • the resin layers may contain whitening agents such as titanium dioxide. When a subbing layer is present it is usually based on a gelatinous composition.
  • the adhesion promoting layer comprises a cationic inorganic pigment and a binder.
  • cationic inorganic pigment means a substance composed of fine particles having a positive charge on their surfaces. Specific examples thereof include fine particles composed of oxides of metals such as magnesium, calcium, aluminum, zirconium, zinc, chromium, iron, copper, tin, lead and manganese. Those having a negative charge on their surfaces like silica may also be used if they are surface-treated to change the negative charge on the surface to a positive charge.
  • the cationic inorganic pigment is preferably chosen from the group consisting of aluminum oxides, aluminum hydroxides, alumina hydrates, aluminum silicates, and cationically modified silicas.
  • a preferred type of alumina hydrate is crystalline boehmite, or ⁇ -AlO(OH).
  • Useful types of boehmite include, in powder form, DISPERAL, DISPERAL HP14 and DISPERAL 40 from Sasol, MARTOXIN VPP2000-2 and GL-3 from Martinswerk GmbH.; liquid boehmite alumina systems, e.g.

  • PVA polyvinylalcohol
  • the polyvinyl alcohol is a cationic type polyvinyl alcohol, such as the cationic polyvinyl alcohol grades from Kuraray, such as POVAL C506, POVAL C118, and from Nippon Goshei.
  • Mixtures of two or more binders can be used.
  • the ratio cationic pigment/binder in the adhesion promoting layer is preferably between 1:4 and 10:1.
  • the coverage of the adhesion promoting layer is preferably comprised between 1 and 8 g/m 2 .
  • the ink receiver layer comprises substantially only one or more film-forming polymers.
  • the ink-absorptivity is based on locally swelling of the layer after being hit by the ink droplets.
  • the polymer(s) can readily be chosen from the polymeric binders as enumerated above for the adhesion promoting layer.
  • the polymers are selected from gelatin, polyvinyl alcohol and derivatives, polyvinyl pyrrolidone and derivatives, cellulosic ethers and derivatives, polyurethanes, and polyethylene oxides.
  • the ink receiver comprises a pigment and a binder in a rather large ratio of amount pigment versus amount binder.

  • the pigment may be chosen from organic particles such as polystyrene, polymethyl methacrylate, silicones, melamine-formaldehyde condensation polymers, urea-formaldehyde condensation polymers, polyesters and polyamides. Mixtures of inorganic and organic pigments can be used. However, most preferably the pigment is an inorganic pigment.
  • the binder may again be chosen from the list given above.
  • the pigment must be present in a sufficient coverage in order to render the ink receiving layer sufficiently porous.
  • the lower limit of the ratio by weight of the binder to the total pigment in the ink receiving layer is preferably about 1:50, most preferably 1:20, while the upper limit thereof is about 2:1, most preferably 1:1. If the amount of the pigment exceeds the upper limit, the strength of the ink receiving layer itself is lowered, and the resulting image hence tends to deteriorate in rub-off resistance and the like. On the other hand, if the binder to pigment ratio is too great, the ink-absorbing capacity of the resulting ink-receiving layer is reduced, and so the image formed may possibly be deteriorated.
