Abstract

The present invention provides a method of printing an inkjet ink, wherein the inkjet ink comprises: at least 30%by weight of organic solvent based on the total weight of the ink, a radiation-curable material,and optionally a colourant, the method comprising:(i) inkjet printing the inkjet ink onto a substrate;(ii) evaporating at least a portion of the solvent from the printed ink; and(iii) exposing the printed ink to a low-energy electron beam to cure the radiation-curable material, wherein substantially all of the solvent is evaporated from the printed ink before the ink is cured. The present invention also provides an inkjet printing apparatus for printing a solvent-based inkjet ink comprising at least one printhead, a means for evaporating solvent from the printed ink and a low-energy electron beam source.
