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, 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 at least one ink-receiving layer.
  • the ink-receiving layer is typically either a porous layer that imbibes the ink via capillary action, or a polymer layer that swells to absorb the ink. Swellable hydrophilic polymer layers take an undesirably long time to dry.
  • Porous ink-receiving layers are usually composed of inorganic or organic particles bonded together by a binder. The amount of particles in this type of coating is often far above the critical particle volume concentration, which results in high porosity in the coating.
  • Ink jet prints prepared by printing onto ink jet recording elements, are subject to environmental degradation. They are especially vulnerable to damage resulting from contact with water and atmospheric gases such as ozone. The damage resulting from the post imaging contact with water can take the form of water spots resulting from deglossing of the top coat, dye smearing due to unwanted dye diffusion, and even gross dissolution of the image recording layer. Ozone bleaches ink jet dyes resulting in loss of density. To overcome these deficiencies, ink jet prints are often laminated. However, lamination is expensive as it requires a separate roll of material.
  • U.S. Patents 4,785,313 and 4,832,984 relate to an ink jet recording element comprising a support having thereon a fusible, ink-transporting layer and an ink-retaining layer, wherein the ink-retaining layer is non-porous.
  • the ink-retaining layer is non-porous.
  • EP 858, 905A1 relates to an ink jet recording element having a porous, outermost layer formed by heat sintering thermoplastic particles such as polyurethane which may contain a slight amount of a hydrophilic binder such as poly(vinyl alcohol).
  • a hydrophilic binder such as poly(vinyl alcohol).
  • this element has poor resistance to mechanical abrasion when it does not contain a hydrophilic binder, and poor water-resistance when it does contain a hydrophilic binder.
  • U.S. Patent 5,374,475 relates to a record carrier for the receipt of coloring materials comprising a support having thereon an uppermost, porous layer containing particles of a plastic material which may be melted together at their mutual contact areas. While there is a disclosure in this patent of a double layer assembly on the support, the lower layer is not porous since it is described as a layer that absorbs ink via diffusion (Col. 6, lines 3-5). Ink applied to such an element can spread laterally in the porous top layer, resulting in poorer image quality as compared to an element with a porous underlayer as described herein. In addition, there is no disclosure in this patent of the use of a film-forming, hydrophobic binder in this layer, the absence of which results in poor abrasion resistance prior to fusing.
  • ink jet recording elements are obtained which are useful for the intended purpose.
  • ink jet recording elements are obtained which are useful for the intended purpose.
  • WO 02/07984 discloses an inkjet recording medium comprising, on a substrate, a substantially non-porous first coating and a second coating comprising particles that may be inorganic or organic.
  • the organic particles may be selected from a list of polymers that includes cellulose esters among many others.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a printing method using the above described element.
  • an ink jet recording element comprising an opaque support having thereon in order:
  • a porous ink jet recording element that has good abrasion resistance, and which when printed with an ink jet ink and subsequently fused, has good water-resistance, high print density and does not block after storing under high temperature conditions.
  • the fusible, polymeric particles employed in the invention may have any particle size provided they will form a porous layer.
  • the particle size of the fusible, polymeric particles may range from 0.5 to 10 ⁇ m.
  • the particles may be formed from any cellulose ester, such as, for example, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate propionate or cellulose acetate butyrate.
  • fused prints not stick to each other, i.e., block, even under conditions where they are stored face-to-face at high temperatures, e.g., up to 70°C. If the glass transition temperature, Tg, of the polymer comprising the fused polymeric particles is greater than 70°C, it is believed that such fused prints would not exhibit thermal blocking.
  • Inkjet inks contain organic solvents which function in a variety of ways such as humectants, penetrants, viscosity modifiers etc. After jetting, these organic solvents in the ink can be plasticizers, which would lower the Tg, of many organic polymers which would otherwise be useful as fusible polymeric particles in a receiver. The resultant decrease in Tg would lead to undesirable thermal blocking.
  • the cellulose esters used in the invention are surprisingly not highly plasticized by many of the organic solvents found in ink jet inks, and do not exhibit thermal blocking.
  • the film-forming, hydrophobic binder useful in the invention can be any film-forming hydrophobic polymer capable of being dispersed in water.
  • the hydrophobic binder is an aqueous dispersion of an acrylic polymer or a polyurethane.
  • the particle size of the particles in the dispersion of the film-forming hydrophobic binder is less than 0.5 ⁇ m.
  • the fused layer exhibits thermal deglossing, a phenomena characterized by a decrease in gloss upon heating. It is believed that the film segments formed from the binder particles relax upon heating thereby roughening the surface of the fused layer. The roughened surface scatters light and thereby decreases the gloss. If the starting particles are smaller than 0.5 ⁇ m, it is believed that scale of the surface disruption and the resultant scatter is below the visual threshold.
  • the particle-to-binder ratio of the particles and binder employed in the ink-transporting layer can range between 98:2 and 60:40, preferably between 95:5 and 80:20.
  • a layer having particle-to-binder ratios above the range stated will usually not have sufficient cohesive strength; and a layer having particle-to-binder ratios below the range stated will usually not be sufficiently porous to provide good image quality.
  • the ink-retaining layer can be any porous structure, but it is preferred that the mean pore radius is smaller than the uppermost ink-transporting layer.
  • the ink-retaining layer is composed of particles and binder, the particles will be significantly smaller than the fusible, polymeric particles in the upper ink-transporting layer, thereby assuring a correct pore-size hierarchy.
  • the ink-retaining layer or layers will have a thickness of 1 ⁇ m to 50 ⁇ m, and the top ink-transporting layer will usually have a thickness of 2 ⁇ m to 50 ⁇ m.
  • the ink-retaining layer is present in an amount from 1 g/m 2 to 50 g/m 2 , preferably from 5.0 g/m 2 to 30 g/m 2 .
  • the ink-retaining layer is a continuous, co-extensive porous layer which contains organic or inorganic particles.
  • organic particles which may be used include core/shell particles such as those disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,492,006, and homogeneous particles such as those disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,475,602.
  • examples of organic particles which may be used include acrylic resins, styrenic resins, cellulose derivatives, polyvinyl resins, ethylene-allyl copolymers and polycondensation polymers such as polyesters.
  • inorganic particles which may be used in the ink-retaining layer of the invention include silica, alumina, titanium dioxide, clay, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, or zinc oxide.
  • the porous ink-retaining layer comprises from 80% to 95% of particles and from 20 % to 5 % of a polymeric binder.
  • the polymeric binder may be 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, a poly(alkylene oxide), poly(vinyl pyrrolidinone), poly(vinyl acetate) or copolymers thereof or gelatin.
  • Suitable porous materials for an ink-retaining layer include, for example, silica or alumina in a polymeric binder.
  • the ink-retaining layer is porous fumed alumina in a crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol) binder.
  • 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, vinyl sulfones, pyridinium, pyridylium dication ether, methoxyalkyl melamines, triazines, dioxane derivatives, chrom alum, zirconium sulfate and the like may be used.
  • the crosslinker is an aldehyde, an acetal or a ketal, such as 2,3-dihydroxy-1,4-dioxane.
  • the porous ink-retaining layer can also comprise an open-pore polyolefin, an open-pore polyester or an open pore membrane.
  • An open pore membrane can be formed in accordance with the known technique of phase inversion. Examples of a porous ink-receiving layer comprising an open-pore membrane are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,497,941 and U.S. Patent 6,464,351.
  • two porous, ink-retaining layers are present.
  • the uppermost layer is substantially the same as the lower layer, but at a thickness of only 1 % to 20 % of the thickness of the lower layer, and also contains from 1-20 % by weight of a mordant, such as a cationic latex mordant.
  • the two porous, ink-retaining layers can be coated simultaneously or sequentially by any of the known coating techniques as noted below.
  • the dye image is then concentrated at the thin uppermost ink-retaining layer containing a mordant, and thereby enhances print density.
  • the support there may be used, for example, plain papers, resin-coated papers, various plastics including a polyester resin such as poly(ethylene terephthalate), poly(ethylene naphthalate) and poly(ester diacetate), a polycarbonate resin, a fluorine resin such as poly(tetra-fluoro ethylene), metal foil, vinyl, fabric, laminated or coextruded supports, various glass materials, and the like.
  • the support is a resin-coated paper.
  • the thickness of the support employed in the invention can be from 12 to 500 ⁇ m, preferably from 75 to 300 ⁇ m.
  • the surface of the support may be corona-discharge-treated prior to applying the base layer or solvent-absorbing layer to the support.

  • additives such as surfactants, lubricants, UV-absorbing agents, matte particles and the like may be added to the element to the extent that they do not degrade the properties of interest.
  • the layers described above, including the base layer and the top layer, may be coated by conventional coating means onto a support material commonly used in this art.
  • Coating methods may include, but are not limited to, wound wire rod coating, slot coating, slide hopper coating, gravure, curtain coating and the like. Some of these methods allow for simultaneous coatings of both layers, which is preferred from a manufacturing economic perspective.

  • 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.
