- the ink composition includes the acrylic core-shell latex particles described herein.
- the acrylic core-shell latex particles can be formed by emulsion polymerization of selected components.
- the emulsion polymerization can thus be conducted in accordance with conventional polymerization techniques, for example in a batch, feed, or semi-batch process.
- a combination of first phase of monomers and second phase of monomers can be employed in combination with a charge stabilizing agent, an emulsifier, and/or an initiator, for example.
- the first phase of monomers can be a batch or feed of softer monomers, e.g., monomers having a lower glass transition temperature (Tg), though higher Tg monomers can be used in smaller amounts, provided the resultant core copolymer results in a core latex polymer that has a Tg from ⁇ 50° C. to 30° C.
- the acrylic core copolymer can have a Tg from ⁇ 25° C. to 15° C.
- the second phase of monomers can be selected from harder monomers, e.g., monomers having a relatively higher glass transition temperature (Tg), though lower Tg monomers can likewise be used in smaller amounts, provided the resultant shell copolymer results in a shell latex polymer that has a Tg from 50° C. to 130° C.
- Tg glass transition temperature
- the glass transition temperature of the acrylic shell copolymer is from 75° C. to 105° C.
- glass transition temperature (Tg) of an acrylic polymer can refer to the calculated glass transition temperature based on known Tg values for homopolymers prepared from the monomers used to form the copolymer core or the copolymer shell.
- Example homopolymer Tg values can be found in Table 2 in Example 1 hereinafter.
- Monomers used to prepare the acrylic core/shell latex particles can include, for either the core or the shell (at appropriate concentrations to arrive at the glass transition temperatures described herein), various monomers, but both the core and the shell include a polymerized (meth)acrylic monomer.
- the term “acrylic core-shell latex” refers to latexes where both the core and the shell include a polymerized (meth)acrylic monomer, which is typically a copolymerized core and a copolymerized shell.
- (meth)acrylic refers to monomers, copolymerized monomers, etc., that can either be acrylate or methacrylate (or a combination of both), or acrylic acid or methacrylic acid (or a combination of both), as the acid or salt/ester form can be a function of pH. Furthermore, even if the monomer used to form the polymer was in the form of a (meth)acrylic acid during preparation, pH modifications during preparation or subsequently when added to an ink composition can impact the nature of the moiety as well (acid form vs. salt or ester form). Thus, a monomer or a moiety of a polymer described as (meth)acrylic should not be read so rigidly as to not consider relative pH levels, ester chemistry, and other general organic chemistry concepts.
- monomers that can be used include monoacrylates, diacrylates, or polyfunctional alkoxylated or polyalkoxylated acrylic monomers comprising one or more di- or tri-acrylates.
- Suitable monoacrylates include, for example, methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, solketal acrylate, methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, 6-(acrylamido)hexanoic acid, acrylamide, N-isopropyl acrylamide, dimethyl acrylamide, methacrylamide, styrene, 4-vinyl pyridine, 4-vinyl benzylchloride, N-acrylomorpholine, tert-butyl methacrylate, 6-azidohexyl methacrylate, cyclohexyl acrylate, 2-ethoxy ethyl acrylate, 2-methoxy ethyl acrylate, 2(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl acrylate, stearyl acrylate, te
- Suitable polyfunctional alkoxylated or polyalkoxylated acrylates are, for example, alkoxylated, ethoxylated, or propoxylated, variants of the following: neopentyl glycol diacrylates, butanediol diacrylates, butanediol dimethacrylates, e.g., 1,3-butanediol dimethacrylate (BDDMA), trimethylolpropane triacrylates, glyceryl triacrylates, 1,3-butylene glycol diacrylate, 1,4-butanediol diacrylate, diethylene glycol diacrylate, 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate, tetraethylene glycol diacrylate, triethylene glycol diacrylate, tripropylene glycol diacrylate, polybutanediol diacrylate, polyethylene glycol diacrylate, propoxylated neopentyl glycol diacrylate, ethoxylated
- the monomer can be, for example, propoxylated neopentyl glycol diacrylate, such as, for example, SR-9003 (Sartomer Co., Inc., Exton, Pa.). Suitable reactive monomers are likewise commercially available from, for example, Sartomer Co., Inc., Henkel Corp., Radcure Specialties, and the like.
- the reaction medium used for preparing the acrylic core-shell latex particles can use both a charge stabilizing agent and an emulsifier in order to obtain a target particle size.
- the acrylic core-shell latex particles can have a D50 particle size from about 100 nm to about 350 nm, from about 150 nm to about 350 nm, from about 200 nm to about 300 nm, or from about 240 nm to about 280 nm, for example.
- “D50” particle size is defined here as the particle size at which about half of the particles are larger than the D50 particle size and about half of the other particles are smaller than the D50 particle size (by weight based on the metal particle content of the particulate build material).
- particle size with respect to the acrylic core-shell latex particles can be based on volume of the particle size normalized to a spherical shape for a theoretical diameter measurement, for example.
- Particle size can be collected using a Malvern Zetasizer, for example.
- the “D95” is defined as the particle size at which about 5 wt % of the particles are larger than the D95 particle size and about 95 wt % of the remaining particles are smaller than the D95 particle size.
- Particle size information can also be determined and/or verified using a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
- the charge stabilizing agent can be a monomer that includes acid groups suitable for stabilizing the particles in the liquid medium of the ink compositions.
- Various charge stabilizing agents that can be used include methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, and/or a salt thereof. Thus, methacrylic acid and acrylic acid are both also listed as monomers herein, but can have the dual function of copolymerization and charge stabilization. Sodium salts of methacrylic acid and/or acrylic acid can be used in some specific examples.
- the charge stabilizing agent may be employed in relatively small concentrations, e.g., about 0.1 wt % to about 5 wt % (based on the weight of the emulsion polymerization components).
- the emulsifier can contribute to achieving a target particle size, but can also contribute to a desired surface tension of the acrylic core-shell latex particles, e.g., from about 35 dynes/cm to about 65 dynes/cm, from about 40 dynes/cm to about 60 dynes/cm, or about 45 dynes/cm to about 55 dynes/cm.
- the emulsifier can include a fatty acid ether sulfate, such as lauryl ether sulfate.
- the emulsifier may be included at relatively small concentrations, e.g., about 0.1 wt % to about 5 wt % (based on the weight of the emulsion polymerization components).
- the emulsion polymerization is conducted in accordance with polymerization processes, such as, for example, a semi-batch process.
- the acrylic core-shell latex particles can be synthesized by free radical initiated polymerization using a free radical initiator, for example.
- the initiator can include a “per” compound such as a diazo compound, persulfate, per-oxygen, or the like.
- Thermal initiators that can be used include azo compounds: 1,1′-azobis(cyclohexanecarbonitrile) 98%, azobisisobutyronitrile 12 wt.

- the color difference can be measured and the ⁇ E value calculated based on subtracting the pre-washing color values of L*, a*, and b* from the post-washing color values of L*, a*, and b*. Those values can then be squared, and then a square root of the sum can be determined to arrive at the ⁇ E value.
- the 1976 standard can be referred to herein as “ ⁇ E CIE .”
- the CIE definition was modified in 1994 to address some perceptual non-uniformities, retaining the L*a*b* color space, but modifying to define the L*a*b* color space with differences in lightness (L*), chroma (C*), and hue (h*) calculated from L*a*b* coordinates.
- the CIEDE standard was established to further resolve the perceptual non-uniformities by adding five corrections, namely i) hue rotation (R T ) to deal with the problematic blue region at hue angles of about 275°), ii) compensation for neutral colors or the primed values in the L*C*h differences, iii) compensation for lightness (S L ), iv) compensation for chroma (S C ), and v) compensation for hue (S H ).
- the 2000 modification can be referred to herein as “ ⁇ E2000.”

- Two of the ink compositions included acrylic single-phase latex particles, and the remaining four ink compositions (Ink 2, Ink 3, Ink 4, and Ink 10) included acrylic core/shell latex particles.
- the higher curves were with the ink compositions with the core/shell latex particles.
- the TOE curve of Ink 10 can be compared to the TOE curve of Ink 14.
- These two ink compositions include a latex with the same acrylic latex core (Latex 14 is 100 wt % “core”; Latex 10 includes the same core with a 15 wt % shell thereon), and the TOE curve for Ink 10 is better at every point along the curve where the curve starts to flatten out (shown in FIG. 3 at (B) with an expanded Y-axis to more fully show the separation between the respective TOE curves).
- Ink 13 Another comparison to consider is to compare Ink 13 with 100 wt % acrylic single-phase latex particles to Inks 2-4, which include different weight percentages of acrylic shell, but are otherwise similar (except that the methacrylic acid is included in the “core” of Ink 13 to provide dispensability). More specifically, Ink 2 included 25 wt % shell polymer, Ink 3 included 35 wt % shell polymer, and Ink 4 included 15 wt % shell polymer. The Ink that performed the best in the TOE curve analysis was Ink 3, which had the thickest acrylic shell, but even at 15 wt % shell as in Ink 4, the TOE curve was better than with Ink 13.

Description
- Inkjet printing has become a popular way of recording images on various media. Some of the reasons include low printer noise, variable content recording, capability of high speed recording, and multi-color recording. These advantages can be obtained at a relatively low price to consumers. As the popularity of inkjet printing increases, the types of use also increase providing demand for new ink compositions. In one example, textile printing can have various applications including the creation of signs, banners, artwork, apparel, wall coverings, window coverings, upholstery, pillows, blankets, flags, tote bags, clothing, etc. However, the permanence of printed ink on textiles can be an issue.

FIG. 3 is a TOE curve graph showing Turn On Energy comparisons of six (6) different example ink compositions with 6 different example acrylic latex particles in accordance with the present disclosure. - The present disclosure is drawn to textile printing material sets, textile printing systems, and textile printing methods. In one example, a textile printing material set includes a fabric substrate, and an aqueous ink composition. The aqueous ink composition includes an aqueous ink vehicle, pigment, and from 2 wt % to 15 wt % of acrylic core-shell latex particles having an acrylic core copolymer with a glass transition temperature from −50° C. to 30° C. and an acrylic shell copolymer having a glass transition temperature from 50° C. to 130° C., wherein the acrylic core copolymer and the acrylic shell copolymer of the acrylic core-shell latex particles have an average weight ratio from 1:1 to 9:1. In one example, the glass transition temperature of the acrylic core copolymer can be from −25° C. to 15° C. and the glass transition temperature of the acrylic shell copolymer can be from 75° C. to 105° C. In another example, the acrylic shell copolymer can include from 30 wt % to 80 wt % copolymerized methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, or a combination thereof. The acrylic shell copolymer can include from 1 wt % to 14 wt % copolymerized acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or a combination thereof. The acrylic core copolymer and the acrylic shell copolymer can independently both include copolymerized a propyl acrylate, a butyl acrylate, or a combination thereof. In a more specific example, the acrylic core copolymer and the acrylic shell copolymer can both include copolymerized n-butyl acrylate. The fabric substrate can be selected from cotton, polyester, nylon, silk, or a blend thereof, for example.
- In another example, a textile printing system includes a fabric substrate, an inkjet printhead in fluid communication with a reservoir containing an aqueous ink composition, and a heating source positioned to heat the aqueous ink composition after application onto the fabric substrate. The aqueous ink composition includes an aqueous ink vehicle, pigment, and from 2 wt % to 15 wt % of acrylic core-shell latex particles having an acrylic core copolymer with a glass transition temperature from −50° C. to 30° C. and an acrylic shell copolymer having a glass transition temperature from 50° C. to 130° C. The acrylic core copolymer and the acrylic shell copolymer of the acrylic core-shell latex particles in this example have an average weight ratio from 1:1 to 9:1. In one example, the acrylic shell copolymer includes from 30 wt % to 80 wt % copolymerized methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, or a combination thereof, and/or the acrylic shell copolymer also includes from 1 wt % to 14 wt % copolymerized acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or a combination thereof. In another example, the acrylic core copolymer and the acrylic shell copolymer both include copolymerized n-butyl acrylate. The heating source can be positioned and powerable to generate heat at the fabric substrate at a temperature ranging from above the glass transition temperature of the acrylic shell copolymer to 200° C. Furthermore, the fabric substrate can be selected from cotton, polyester, nylon, silk, or a blend thereof.
- In another example, a method of textile printing includes jetting an aqueous ink composition onto a fabric substrate. The aqueous ink composition includes an aqueous ink vehicle, pigment, and from 2 wt % to 15 wt % of acrylic core-shell latex particles having an acrylic core copolymer with a glass transition temperature from −50° C. to 30° C. and an acrylic shell copolymer having a glass transition temperature from 50° C. to 130° C. The acrylic core copolymer and the acrylic shell copolymer of the acrylic core-shell latex particles in this example have an average weight ratio from 1:1 to 9:1. The method can further include heating the fabric substrate with the aqueous ink composition thereon to a temperature ranging from above the glass transition temperature of the acrylic shell copolymer to 200° C. The fabric substrate can be selected from cotton, polyester, nylon, silk, or a blend thereof.
- It is noted that when discussing the textile printing material sets, textile printing systems, and/or the methods of textile printing herein, these discussions can be considered applicable to one another whether or not they are explicitly discussed in the context of that example. Thus, for example, when discussing an organic co-solvent related to the textile printing systems, such disclosure is also relevant to and directly supported in the context of the textile printing material sets and/or methods of textile printing, and vice versa. It is also understood that terms used herein will take on their ordinary meaning in the relevant technical field unless specified otherwise. In some instances, there are terms defined more specifically throughout the specification or included at the end of the present specification, and thus, these terms have a meaning as described herein.
- Turning now to more specific detail regarding the textile printing systems, in
FIG. 1A , an exampletextile printing system 100 is shown which includes afabric substrate 110 and anink composition 130. The ink composition can be printed from aninkjet pen 120 which includes anejector 122 or printhead, such as a thermal inkjet ejector, for example. The ink composition includes water and organic co-solvent (sometimes referred to collectively as an ink vehicle), and a pigment (dispersed with a dispersant associated with a surface of the pigment). The ink composition also includes acrylic core-shell latex particles. The dispersant can be associated with the pigment by adsorption, ionic attraction, or by covalent attachment thereto. The acrylic core-shell latex particles can have an acrylic core copolymer with a glass transition temperature from −50° C. to 30° C. and an acrylic shell copolymer having a glass transition temperature from 50° C. to 130° C. The acrylic core copolymer and the acrylic shell copolymer of the acrylic core-shell latex particles have an average weight ratio from 1:1 to 9:1. - In another example, as shown in
FIG. 1B , an exampletextile printing system 105 is shown that includes afabric substrate 110, anink composition 130, aninkjet pen 120 which includes anejector 122, e.g., inkjet printhead, and aheat curing device 140 which emitsheat 150 therefrom. The ink composition includes the acrylic core-shell latex particles described herein. Thus, upon printing the ink composition onto the fabric substrate, the ink composition can be heated to heat cure the ink composition on the fabric substrate, thus providing enhanced image durability on the fabric substrate. - The acrylic core-shell latex particles can be formed by emulsion polymerization of selected components. The emulsion polymerization can thus be conducted in accordance with conventional polymerization techniques, for example in a batch, feed, or semi-batch process. Particularly, a combination of first phase of monomers and second phase of monomers can be employed in combination with a charge stabilizing agent, an emulsifier, and/or an initiator, for example. The first phase of monomers can be a batch or feed of softer monomers, e.g., monomers having a lower glass transition temperature (Tg), though higher Tg monomers can be used in smaller amounts, provided the resultant core copolymer results in a core latex polymer that has a Tg from −50° C. to 30° C. In one example, the acrylic core copolymer can have a Tg from −25° C. to 15° C.
- The second phase of monomers can be selected from harder monomers, e.g., monomers having a relatively higher glass transition temperature (Tg), though lower Tg monomers can likewise be used in smaller amounts, provided the resultant shell copolymer results in a shell latex polymer that has a Tg from 50° C. to 130° C. In another example, the glass transition temperature of the acrylic shell copolymer is from 75° C. to 105° C.
- Reference within the present disclosure to the glass transition temperature (Tg) of an acrylic polymer can refer to the calculated glass transition temperature based on known Tg values for homopolymers prepared from the monomers used to form the copolymer core or the copolymer shell. Thus, “glass transition temperature” or “Tg,” can be calculated by the Fox equation: copolymer Tg=1/(Wa/(Tg A)+Wb(Tg B)+ . . . ) where Wa=weight fraction of monomer A in the copolymer and TgA is the homopolymer Tg value of monomer A, Wb=weight fraction of monomer B and TgB is the homopolymer Tg value of monomer B, etc. Example homopolymer Tg values can be found in Table 2 in Example 1 hereinafter.
- Monomers used to prepare the acrylic core/shell latex particles can include, for either the core or the shell (at appropriate concentrations to arrive at the glass transition temperatures described herein), various monomers, but both the core and the shell include a polymerized (meth)acrylic monomer. Thus the term “acrylic core-shell latex” refers to latexes where both the core and the shell include a polymerized (meth)acrylic monomer, which is typically a copolymerized core and a copolymerized shell. The term “(meth)acrylic” refers to monomers, copolymerized monomers, etc., that can either be acrylate or methacrylate (or a combination of both), or acrylic acid or methacrylic acid (or a combination of both), as the acid or salt/ester form can be a function of pH. Furthermore, even if the monomer used to form the polymer was in the form of a (meth)acrylic acid during preparation, pH modifications during preparation or subsequently when added to an ink composition can impact the nature of the moiety as well (acid form vs. salt or ester form). Thus, a monomer or a moiety of a polymer described as (meth)acrylic should not be read so rigidly as to not consider relative pH levels, ester chemistry, and other general organic chemistry concepts.
- Examples of monomers that can be used include monoacrylates, diacrylates, or polyfunctional alkoxylated or polyalkoxylated acrylic monomers comprising one or more di- or tri-acrylates. Suitable monoacrylates include, for example, methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, solketal acrylate, methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, 6-(acrylamido)hexanoic acid, acrylamide, N-isopropyl acrylamide, dimethyl acrylamide, methacrylamide, styrene, 4-vinyl pyridine, 4-vinyl benzylchloride, N-acrylomorpholine, tert-butyl methacrylate, 6-azidohexyl methacrylate, cyclohexyl acrylate, 2-ethoxy ethyl acrylate, 2-methoxy ethyl acrylate, 2(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl acrylate, stearyl acrylate, tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate, octyl acrylate, lauryl acrylate, behenyl acrylate, 2-phenoxy ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate (n-butyl acrylate), tertiary butyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, glycidyl acrylate, isodecyl acrylate, benzyl acrylate, hexyl acrylate, isooctyl acrylate, isobornyl acrylate, butanediol monoacrylate, ethoxylated phenol monoacrylate, oxyethylated phenol acrylate, monomethoxy hexanediol acrylate, beta-carboxy ethyl acrylate, dicyclopentyl acrylate, carbonyl acrylate, octyl decyl acrylate, ethoxylated nonylphenol acrylate, hydroxyethyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and the like. Suitable polyfunctional alkoxylated or polyalkoxylated acrylates are, for example, alkoxylated, ethoxylated, or propoxylated, variants of the following: neopentyl glycol diacrylates, butanediol diacrylates, butanediol dimethacrylates, e.g., 1,3-butanediol dimethacrylate (BDDMA), trimethylolpropane triacrylates, glyceryl triacrylates, 1,3-butylene glycol diacrylate, 1,4-butanediol diacrylate, diethylene glycol diacrylate, 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate, tetraethylene glycol diacrylate, triethylene glycol diacrylate, tripropylene glycol diacrylate, polybutanediol diacrylate, polyethylene glycol diacrylate, propoxylated neopentyl glycol diacrylate, ethoxylated neopentyl glycol diacrylate, polybutadiene diacrylate, and the like. The monomer can be, for example, propoxylated neopentyl glycol diacrylate, such as, for example, SR-9003 (Sartomer Co., Inc., Exton, Pa.). Suitable reactive monomers are likewise commercially available from, for example, Sartomer Co., Inc., Henkel Corp., Radcure Specialties, and the like.
- The chemical structure and common abbreviations for a few monomers listed above that can be used are shown as follows:
- The reaction medium used for preparing the acrylic core-shell latex particles can use both a charge stabilizing agent and an emulsifier in order to obtain a target particle size. Particularly, the acrylic core-shell latex particles can have a D50 particle size from about 100 nm to about 350 nm, from about 150 nm to about 350 nm, from about 200 nm to about 300 nm, or from about 240 nm to about 280 nm, for example. “D50” particle size is defined here as the particle size at which about half of the particles are larger than the D50 particle size and about half of the other particles are smaller than the D50 particle size (by weight based on the metal particle content of the particulate build material). As used herein, particle size with respect to the acrylic core-shell latex particles can be based on volume of the particle size normalized to a spherical shape for a theoretical diameter measurement, for example. Particle size can be collected using a Malvern Zetasizer, for example. Likewise, the “D95” is defined as the particle size at which about 5 wt % of the particles are larger than the D95 particle size and about 95 wt % of the remaining particles are smaller than the D95 particle size. Particle size information can also be determined and/or verified using a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
- The charge stabilizing agent can be a monomer that includes acid groups suitable for stabilizing the particles in the liquid medium of the ink compositions. Various charge stabilizing agents that can be used include methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, and/or a salt thereof. Thus, methacrylic acid and acrylic acid are both also listed as monomers herein, but can have the dual function of copolymerization and charge stabilization. Sodium salts of methacrylic acid and/or acrylic acid can be used in some specific examples. The charge stabilizing agent may be employed in relatively small concentrations, e.g., about 0.1 wt % to about 5 wt % (based on the weight of the emulsion polymerization components).
- The emulsifier, as mentioned, can contribute to achieving a target particle size, but can also contribute to a desired surface tension of the acrylic core-shell latex particles, e.g., from about 35 dynes/cm to about 65 dynes/cm, from about 40 dynes/cm to about 60 dynes/cm, or about 45 dynes/cm to about 55 dynes/cm. The emulsifier can include a fatty acid ether sulfate, such as lauryl ether sulfate. Suitably, the emulsifier may be included at relatively small concentrations, e.g., about 0.1 wt % to about 5 wt % (based on the weight of the emulsion polymerization components). The emulsion polymerization is conducted in accordance with polymerization processes, such as, for example, a semi-batch process.

- The acrylic core-shell latex particles can have any acid number at the surface that is suitable for printing on fabric. However, in some examples, the acid number (or acid value) can be relatively low, e.g., from 0 mg KOH/g to 45 mg KOH/g, from 0 mg KOH/g to 30 mg KOH/g, from 2 mg KOH/g to 20 mg KOH/g, or from 4 mg KOH/g to 15 mg KOH/g, for example. The term “acid value” or “acid number” refers to the mass of potassium hydroxide (KOH) in milligrams that can be used to neutralize one gram of substance (mg KOH/g), such as the latex polymers disclosed herein. This value can be determined, in one example, by dissolving or dispersing a known quantity of a material in organic solvent and then titrating with a solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH) of known concentration for measurement.
- In certain more specific examples, the acrylic core-shell latex particles can have a latex core weight average molecular weight from 30,000 Mw to 1,500,000 Mw, from 50,000 Mw to 1,000,000 Mw, or from 75,000 Mw to 500,000 Mw. Furthermore, the acrylic core-shell latex particles can have a latex shell weight average molecular weight from 10,000 Mw to 1,000,000 Mw, from 20,000 Mw to 500,000 Mw, or from 30,000 Mw to 300,000 Mw.

In other examples, the copolymerized acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid can be present at from 2 wt % to 12 wt %, or from 4 wt % to 10 wt %. In one example, there is not acrylic acid, and the charge stabilizing monomer is provided by methacrylic acid, e.g., from 1 wt % to 1 wt %, from 2 wt % to 12 wt %, or from 4 wt % to 10 wt %.
- In further detail, the acrylic shell copolymer can include from 30 wt % to 80 wt % copolymerized methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, or a combination thereof. In another example, the copolymerized methyl methacrylate and/or ethyl methacrylate can be present at from 35 wt % to 75 wt %, from 40 wt % to 70 wt %, or from 40 wt % to 60 wt %, for example. In another example, the methyl methacrylate can be present at from 30 wt % to 80 wt %, at from 35 wt % to 75 wt %, from 40 wt % to 70 wt %, or from 40 wt % to 60 wt %, and the acrylic shell copolymer can be devoid of ethyl methacrylate.
- Turning to further detail regarding other components of the ink compositions that can be used for the systems and methods described herein, the pigment can be any of a number of pigments of any of a number of primary or secondary colors, or can be black or white, for example.

Black pigment may include carbon black pigment or organic black pigment such as aniline black, e.g., C.I.
Pigment Black 1. While several examples have been given herein, it is to be understood that any other pigment can be used that is useful in color modification, or dye may even be used in addition to the pigment. - Furthermore, pigments and dispersants are described separately herein, but there are pigments that are commercially available which include both the pigment and a dispersant suitable for ink composition formulation. Specific examples of pigment dispersions that can be used, which include both pigment solids and dispersant are provided by example, as follows: HPC-K048 carbon black dispersion from DIC Corporation (Japan), HSKBPG-11-CF carbon black dispersion from Dom Pedro (USA), HPC-0070 cyan pigment dispersion from DIC, CABOJET® 250C cyan pigment dispersion from Cabot Corporation (USA), 17-SE-126 cyan pigment dispersion from Dom Pedro, HPF-M046 magenta pigment dispersion from DIC, CABOJET® 265M magenta pigment dispersion from Cabot, HPJ-Y001 yellow pigment dispersion from DIC, 16-SE-96 yellow pigment dispersion from Dom Pedro, or Emacol SF Yellow AE12F yellow pigment dispersion from Sanyo (Japan).
- Thus, the pigment(s) can be dispersed by a dispersant that is adsorbed or ionically attracted to a surface of the pigment, or can be covalently attached to a surface of the pigment as a self-dispersed pigment. In one example, the dispersant can be an acrylic dispersant, such as a styrene (meth)acrylate dispersant, or other dispersant suitable for keeping the pigment suspended in the liquid vehicle. In one example, the styrene (meth)acrylate dispersant can be used, as it can promote π-stacking between the aromatic ring of the dispersant and various types of pigments. In one example, the styrene (meth)acrylate dispersant can have a weight average molecular weight from 4,000 Mw to 30,000 Mw. In another example, the styrene-acrylic dispersant can have a weight average molecular weight of 8,000 Mw to 28,000 Mw, from 12,000 Mw to 25,000 Mw, from 15,000 Mw to 25,000 Mw, from 15,000 Mw to 20,000 Mw, or about 17,000 Mw. Regarding the acid number, the styrene (meth)acrylate dispersant can have an acid number from 100 to 350, from 120 to 350, from 150 to 300, from 180 to 250, or about 214, for example. Example commercially available styrene-acrylic dispersants can include Joncryl® 671, Joncryl® 71, Joncryl® 96, Joncryl® 680, Joncryl® 683, Joncryl® 678, Joncryl® 690, Joncryl® 296, Joncryl® 671, Joncryl® 696 or Joncryl® ECO 675 (all available from BASF Corp., Germany).
- The ink compositions of the present disclosure can be formulated to include a liquid vehicle, which can include the water content, e.g., 60 wt % to 90 wt % or from 75 wt % to 85 wt %, as well as organic co-solvent, e.g., from 4 wt % to 30 wt %, from 6 wt % to 20 wt %, or from 8 wt % to 15 wt %. Other liquid vehicle components can also be included, such as surfactant, antibacterial agent, other colorant, etc. However, as part of the ink composition used in the systems and methods described herein, the pigment, dispersant, and the acrylic core-shell latex particles can be included or carried by the liquid vehicle components. Suitable pH ranges for the ink composition can be from pH 6 to
pH 10, from pH 7 topH 10, from pH 7.5 topH 10, frompH 8 topH 10, 6 to pH 9, from pH 7 to pH 9, from pH 7.5 to pH 9, etc. - In further detail regarding the liquid vehicle, the co-solvent(s) can be present and can include any co-solvent or combination of co-solvents that are compatible with the pigment, dispersant, and acrylic core-shell latex particles. Examples of suitable classes of co-solvents include polar solvents, such as alcohols, amides, esters, ketones, lactones, and ethers. In additional detail, solvents that can be used can include aliphatic alcohols, aromatic alcohols, diols, glycol ethers, polyglycol ethers, caprolactams, formamides, acetamides, and long chain alcohols. Examples of such compounds include primary aliphatic alcohols, secondary aliphatic alcohols, 1,2-alcohols, 1,3-alcohols, 1,5-alcohols, ethylene glycol alkyl ethers, propylene glycol alkyl ethers, higher homologs (C6-C12) of polyethylene glycol alkyl ethers, N-alkyl caprolactams, unsubstituted caprolactams, both substituted and unsubstituted formamides, both substituted and unsubstituted acetamides, and the like. More specific examples of organic solvents can include 2-pyrrolidone, 2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1, 3-propane diol (EPHD), glycerol, dimethyl sulfoxide, sulfolane, glycol ethers, alkyldiols such as 1,2-hexanediol, and/or ethoxylated glycerols such as LEG-1, etc.
- The liquid vehicle can also include surfactant and/or emulsifier. In general, the surfactant can be water soluble and may include alkyl polyethylene oxides, alkyl phenyl polyethylene oxides, polyethylene oxide (PEO) block copolymers, acetylenic PEO, PEO esters, PEO amines, PEO amides, dimethicone copolyols, ethoxylated surfactants, alcohol ethoxylated surfactants, fluorosurfactants, and mixtures thereof. In some examples, the surfactant can include a nonionic surfactant, such as a Surfynol® surfactant, e.g., Surfynol® 440 (from Evonik, Germany), or a Tergitol™ surfactant, e.g., Tergitol™ TMN-6 (from Dow Chemical, USA). In another example, the surfactant can include an anionic surfactant, such as a phosphate ester of a C10 to C20 alcohol or a polyethylene glycol (3) oleyl mono/di phosphate, e.g., Crodafos® N3A (from Croda International PLC, United Kingdom). The surfactant or combinations of surfactants, if present, can be included in the ink composition at from about 0.01 wt % to about 5 wt % and, in some examples, can be present at from about 0.05 wt % to about 3 wt % of the ink compositions.
- Consistent with the formulations of the present disclosure, various other additives may be included to provide desired properties of the ink composition for specific applications. Examples of these additives are those added to inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms. These additives may be biocides, fungicides, and other microbial agents, which are routinely used in ink formulations. Examples of suitable microbial agents include, but are not limited to, Acticide®, e.g., Acticide® B20 (Thor Specialties Inc.), Nuosept™ (Nudex, Inc.), Ucarcide™ (Union carbide Corp.), Vancide® (R. T. Vanderbilt Co.), Proxel™ (ICI America), and combinations thereof. Sequestering agents, such as EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid) or trisodium salt of methylglycinediacetic acid, may be included to eliminate the deleterious effects of heavy metal impurities, and buffer solutions may be used to control the pH of the ink. Viscosity modifiers and buffers may also be present, as well as other additives known to those skilled in the art to modify properties of the ink as desired.
- These ink compositions can be suitable for printing on many types of textiles, but can be particularly acceptable on treated or untreated natural fabric textile substrates, e.g., wool, cotton, silk, linen, jute, flax, hemp, rayon fibers, thermoplastic aliphatic polymeric fibers derived from renewable resources (e.g. cornstarch, tapioca products, sugarcanes), etc. Treated fabrics can include a coating, for example, such as a coating including a cationic component such as calcium salt, magnesium salt, cationic polymer, etc. These types of substrates can provide acceptable optical density (OD) and/or washfastness properties. The term “washfastness” can be defined as the OD or delta E (ΔE) that is retained after five (5) standard washing machine cycles using warm water and a standard clothing detergent (e.g., Tide® available from Proctor and Gamble, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA). Essentially, by measuring OD and/or L*a*b* both before and after washing, ΔOD and ΔE value can be determined, which is essentially a quantitative way of expressing the difference between the OD and/or L*a*b*prior to and after undergoing the washing cycles. Thus, the lower the ΔOD and ΔE values, the better. In further detail, ΔE is a single number that represents the “distance” between two colors, which in accordance with the present disclosure, is the color (or black) prior to washing and the modified color (or modified black) after washing.
- Colors, for example, can be expressed as CIELAB values. It is noted that color differences may not be symmetrical going in both directions (pre-washing to post washing vs. post-washing to pre-washing). Using the CIE 1976 definition, the color difference can be measured and the ΔE value calculated based on subtracting the pre-washing color values of L*, a*, and b* from the post-washing color values of L*, a*, and b*. Those values can then be squared, and then a square root of the sum can be determined to arrive at the ΔE value. The 1976 standard can be referred to herein as “ΔECIE.” The CIE definition was modified in 1994 to address some perceptual non-uniformities, retaining the L*a*b* color space, but modifying to define the L*a*b* color space with differences in lightness (L*), chroma (C*), and hue (h*) calculated from L*a*b* coordinates. Then in 2000, the CIEDE standard was established to further resolve the perceptual non-uniformities by adding five corrections, namely i) hue rotation (RT) to deal with the problematic blue region at hue angles of about 275°), ii) compensation for neutral colors or the primed values in the L*C*h differences, iii) compensation for lightness (SL), iv) compensation for chroma (SC), and v) compensation for hue (SH). The 2000 modification can be referred to herein as “ΔE2000.” In accordance with examples of the present disclosure, ΔE value can be determined using the CIE definition established in 1976, 1994, and 2000 to demonstrate washfastness. However, in the examples of the present disclosure, ΔECIE and ΔE2000 are used.
- In addition to good durability or washfastness, ink compositions with these acrylic core-shell latex particles can also exhibit good stability over time as well as good thermal inkjet printhead performance such as high drop weight, high drop velocity, good kogation, and acceptable “Turn On Energy” or “TOE” curve values. Turn On Energy (TOE) can be defined as the measurement of energy used to generate a given ink drop weight (DW) upon firing. The goal is to achieve a consistent ink composition firing at a drop weight at a lower energy. At some point, the DW that increases with energy input starts to flatten out. Examples of TOE curves can be found and described in the Examples hereinafter.
- In further detail regarding the fabric substrates, the fabric can include a substrate, and in some examples can be treated, such as with a coating that includes a calcium salt, a magnesium salt, a cationic polymer, or a combination of a calcium or magnesium salt and cationic polymer. Fabric substrates can include substrates that have fibers that may be natural and/or synthetic, but in some examples, the fabric is particularly useful with natural fabric substrates. The fabric substrate can include, for example, a textile, a cloth, a fabric material, fabric clothing, or other fabric product suitable for applying ink, and the fabric substrate can have any of a number of fabric structures. The term “fabric structure” is intended to include structures that can have warp and weft, and/or can be woven, non-woven, knitted, tufted, crocheted, knotted, and pressured, for example. The terms “warp” and “weft” have their ordinary meaning in the textile arts, as used herein, e.g., warp refers to lengthwise or longitudinal yarns on a loom, while weft refers to crosswise or transverse yarns on a loom.
- It is notable that the term “fabric substrate” does not include materials commonly known as any kind of paper (even though paper can include multiple types of natural and synthetic fibers or mixtures of both types of fibers). Fabric substrates can include textiles in filament form, textiles in the form of fabric material, or textiles in the form of fabric that has been crafted into a finished article (e.g. clothing, blankets, tablecloths, napkins, towels, bedding material, curtains, carpet, handbags, shoes, banners, signs, flags, etc.). In some examples, the fabric substrate can have a woven, knitted, non-woven, or tufted fabric structure. In one example, the fabric substrate can be a woven fabric where warp yarns and weft yarns can be mutually positioned at an angle of about 90°. This woven fabric can include but is not limited to, fabric with a plain weave structure, fabric with a twill weave structure where the twill weave produces diagonal lines on a face of the fabric, or a satin weave. In another example, the fabric substrate can be a knitted fabric with a loop structure. The loop structure can be a warp-knit fabric, a weft-knit fabric, or a combination thereof. A warp-knit fabric refers to every loop in a fabric structure that can be formed from a separate yarn mainly introduced in a longitudinal fabric direction. A weft-knit fabric refers to loops of one row of fabric that can be formed from the same yarn. In a further example, the fabric substrate can be a non-woven fabric. For example, the non-woven fabric can be a flexible fabric that can include a plurality of fibers or filaments that are one or both bonded together and interlocked together by a chemical treatment process (e.g., a solvent treatment), a mechanical treatment process (e.g., embossing), a thermal treatment process, or a combination of two or more of these processes.
- Regardless of the structure, in one example, the fabric substrate can include natural fibers, synthetic fibers, or a combination thereof. Exemplary natural fibers can include, but are not limited to, wool, cotton, silk, linen, jute, flax, hemp, rayon fibers, thermoplastic aliphatic polymeric fibers derived from renewable resources (e.g. cornstarch, tapioca products, sugarcanes), or a combination thereof. In another example, the fabric substrate can include synthetic fibers. Exemplary synthetic fibers can include polymeric fibers such as, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fibers, PVC-free fibers made of polyester, polyamide, polyimide, polyacrylic, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyurethane, polystyrene, polyaramid (e.g., Kevlar®) polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon)° (both trademarks of E. I. du Pont de Nemours Company, Delaware), fiberglass, polytrimethylene, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, polyester terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, or a combination thereof. In some examples, the synthetic fiber can be a modified fiber from the above-listed polymers. The term “modified fiber” refers to one or both of the polymeric fiber and the fabric as a whole having undergone a chemical or physical process such as, but not limited to, one or more of a copolymerization with monomers of other polymers, a chemical grafting reaction to contact a chemical functional group with one or both the polymeric fiber and a surface of the fabric, a plasma treatment, a solvent treatment, acid etching, or a biological treatment, an enzyme treatment, or antimicrobial treatment to prevent biological degradation. The term “PVC-free fibers” as used herein means that no polyvinyl chloride (PVC) polymer or vinyl chloride monomer units are in the fibers.
- As previously mentioned, the fabric substrate can be a combination of fiber types, e.g. a combination of any natural fiber with another natural fiber, any natural fiber with a synthetic fiber, a synthetic fiber with another synthetic fiber, or mixtures of multiple types of natural fibers and/or synthetic fibers in any of the above combinations. In some examples, the fabric substrate can include natural fiber and synthetic fiber. The amount of each fiber type can vary. For example, the amount of the natural fiber can vary from about 5 wt % to about 95 wt % and the amount of synthetic fiber can range from about 5 wt % to 95 wt %. In yet another example, the amount of the natural fiber can vary from about 10 wt % to 80 wt % and the synthetic fiber can be present from about 20 wt % to about 90 wt %. In other examples, the amount of the natural fiber can be about 10 wt % to 90 wt % and the amount of synthetic fiber can also be about 10 wt % to about 90 wt %. Likewise the ratio of natural fiber to synthetic fiber in the fabric substrate can vary. For example, the ratio of natural fiber to synthetic fiber can be 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8, 1:9, 1:10, 1:11, 1:12, 1:13, 1:14, 1:15, 1:16, 1:17, 1:18, 1:19, 1:20, or vice versa.
- In one example, the fabric substrate can have a basis weight ranging from about 10 gsm to about 500 gsm. In another example, the fabric substrate can have a basis weight ranging from about 50 gsm to about 400 gsm. In other examples, the fabric substrate can have a basis weight ranging from about 100 gsm to about 300 gsm, from about 75 gsm to about 250 gsm, from about 125 gsm to about 300 gsm, or from about 150 gsm to about 350 gsm.
- In addition, the fabric substrate can contain additives including, but not limited to, one or more of colorant (e.g., pigments, dyes, and tints), antistatic agents, brightening agents, nucleating agents, antioxidants, UV stabilizers, fillers and lubricants, for example. Alternatively, the fabric substrate may be pre-treated in a solution containing the substances listed above before applying other treatments or coating layers.
- In another example, and as set forth in
FIG. 2 , amethod 200 of textile printing includes jetting 210 an aqueous ink composition onto a fabric substrate. The aqueous ink composition in this example includes an aqueous ink vehicle, pigment, and from 2 wt % to 15 wt % of acrylic core-shell latex particles having an acrylic core copolymer with a glass transition temperature from −50° C. to 30° C. and an acrylic shell copolymer having a glass transition temperature from 50° C. to 130° C. The acrylic core copolymer and the acrylic shell copolymer of the acrylic core-shell latex particles have an average weight ratio from 1:1 to 9:1 in this example. In further detail, the method can include heating the fabric substrate with the aqueous ink composition thereon to a temperature ranging from above the glass transition temperature of the acrylic shell copolymer to 200° C. The fabric substrate can include, for example, cotton, polyester, nylon, silk, or a blend thereof. - It is noted that, as used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the content clearly dictates otherwise.
- As used herein, the term “about” is used to provide flexibility to a numerical range endpoint by providing that a given value may be “a little above” or “a little below” the endpoint. The degree of flexibility of this term can be dictated by the particular variable and would be within the knowledge of those skilled in the art to determine based on experience and the associated description herein.
- As used herein, a plurality of items, structural elements, compositional elements, and/or materials may be presented in a common list for convenience. However, these lists should be construed as though each member of the list is individually identified as a separate and unique member. Thus, no individual member of such list should be construed as a de facto equivalent of any other member of the same list solely based on their presentation in a common group without indications to the contrary.
- Concentrations, dimensions, amounts, and other numerical data may be presented herein in a range format. It is to be understood that such range format is used merely for convenience and brevity and should be interpreted flexibly to include not only the numerical values explicitly recited as the limits of the range, but also to include all the individual numerical values or sub-ranges encompassed within that range as if each numerical value and sub-range is explicitly recited. For example, a weight ratio range of about 1 wt % to about 20 wt % should be interpreted to include not only the explicitly recited limits of about 1 wt % and about 20 wt %, but also to include individual weights such as 2 wt %, 11 wt %, 14 wt %, and sub-ranges such as 10 wt % to 20 wt %, 5 wt % to 15 wt %, etc.
- The following examples illustrate the technology of the present disclosure. However, it is to be understood that the following are only exemplary or illustrative of the application of the principles of the presented fabric print media and associated methods. Numerous modifications and alternatives may be devised without departing from the present disclosure. The appended claims are intended to cover such modifications and arrangements. Thus, while the disclosure has been provided with particularity, the following describes further detail in connection with what are presently deemed to be the acceptable examples.
- A seed latex (Seed Latex 1) was obtained to use as a common seed latex for the preparation of several acrylic core-shell latexes of several examples hereinafter. The seed latex was selected to control particle size of the core-shell latex prepared in accordance with the examples hereinafter, e.g., Examples 2-19 (Latexes 2-19). The seed latex was an all acrylic latex copolymer with a D50 particle size of approximately 65 nm (diameter) and a solids content of approximately 48 wt %. Tables 1A-1C below summarize the acrylic latexes prepared in Examples 2-19, including the amount of first stage (core) and second stage (shell) monomers used as a percentage of the total monomer of the formulations. Examples 13 and 14 are single-phase acrylic latexes, so they are considered to be 100 wt % core, as notated in the summary tables below. The details on the Seed Latex are not included in the Tables. The examples were either dual-phase preparations to generate acrylic core-shell latex particles (first stage core varied wt % from 65 wt % to 85 wt; second stage shell varied wt % from 15 wt % to 35 wt %); or single-phase (100 wt % first stage monomer). The calculated glass transition temperature (Tg) for the core and the shell (separately) were included, which can be calculated based on the Fox equation using homopolymer Tg values shown in Table 2. Theoretical acid values and measured solid percentages were also provided for the completed acrylic latex polymer particles.

Additionally, for comparison, a Control Ink Composition was prepared using a commercially available acrylic latex binder (Jantex® 924—styrene butyl acrylic polymer binder; 320,000 Mw; Acid Number 17.4; Tg −15° C.; available from Jantex Inks, USA). Print performance evaluations were based on jetting from a thermal inkjet pen (A3410, available from HP, Inc.), and the data collected based on several parameters, including:
-
- Decap is determined using the indicated time (1 second or 7 seconds) where nozzles remain open (uncapped), and then the number of lines missing during a print event are recorded. Thus, the lower the number the better for decap performance
- Percent Missing Nozzles (% MNZ), which is calculated based on the number of nozzles incapable of firing at the beginning of a jetting sequence as a percentage of the total number of nozzles on an inkjet printhead attempting to fire. Thus, the lower the percentage number, the better the Percent Missing Nozzles value.
- Drop Weight (DW), which is an average drop weight in nanograms (ng) across the number of nozzles fired measured using a burst mode or firing at 30 kHz.
- Drop Weight 2,000 (DW 2K), which is measured using a 2-drop mode of firing, firing 2,000 drops and then measuring/calculating the average ink composition drop weight in nanograms (ng) at 30 kHz.
- Drop Velocity (DV), which measures an average velocity of the drop as initially fired from the thermal inkjet nozzles measured in meters per second (m/s).
- Decel, which measures the loss in drop velocity (m/s) after 5 seconds of ink composition firing. 0 indicates no drop velocity loss. A positive number indicates how much drop velocity was lost. “Miss” indicates missing, where data was not collectable.
- Turn On Energy (TOE) Curve, which measures the energy used to generate consistent ink composition firing at a drop weight (DW) threshold. Lower energy to achieve higher drop weights tend to be desirable, with DW increasing with increased energy and then flattening out as still more energy is applied. The TOE Curve Scale can be graded as Good, Soft, or Bad. On a scale of 0-3, with 3 being the best, Good=3, Soft=2, Bad=1. Furthermore, low drop volume is also notated for informational purposes, as low drop volumes can be acceptable in some circumstances.

Some of the ink compositions had acceptable or reasonable TOE Curve data, but the drop weight (DW) was slightly lower. TOE Curve data is considered Acceptable or Good when lower levels of energy are used to achieve higher drop weights (DW) as measured in nanograms (ng). For example, achieving a drop weight (DW) of 10 ng or above at an energy level 0.75 Joule may be considered “Good” TOE (with DW getting larger with more energy input until the curve flattens out) for this particular ink composition. Achieving a drop weight (DW) of 8 ng or above at an energy level 0.75 Joule may be considered “Acceptable” TOE (with DW getting larger with more energy input until the curve flattens out). In further detail, however, lower drop weights (DW) below 8 ng or even below 7 ng at 0.75 Joules may provide for a “Good” TOE as long as the drop weights continue to get larger as the energy increases and then flatten out at an acceptable drop weight. Achieving a drop weight below 7 ng at an energy level of 0.75 Joule may be considered “Good” TOE (with DW getting larger with more energy input until the curve flattens out, as long as the drop weight is acceptable for inkjet printing applications).
- Several of the Ink Compositions (Inks 2-19) prepared in accordance with Example 20 were evaluated for washfastness durability when printed on fabric. Additionally, for comparison, a Control Ink Composition (Control Ink) was prepared using a commercially available acrylic latex binder (Jantex® 924—styrene butyl acrylic polymer binder; 320,000 Mw; Acid Number 17.4; Tg 15° C.; available from Jantex Inks, USA). The Ink Compositions were jetted (3 dots per pixel or “dpp”) onto gray cotton fabric print media at 20 grams per meter (gsm) using a thermal inkjet pen (A3410, available from HP, Inc.). Individual samples were cured at either 80° C. or at 150° C. for 3 minutes. Printed samples were washed 5 times with a conventional washer at 40° C. with detergent and air drying between each wash. Each sample was measured for OD and Lab before and after the 5 washes at 40° C. using Tide® laundry detergent available from Proctor and Gamble, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. After the five cycles, optical density (OD) and L*a*b* values were measured for comparison, and delta E (ΔE) values were calculated using the 1976 standard denoted as ΔECIE. Results are depicted in Tables 5A-5B, as follows:

Thus, most core-shell latex polymers have reasonable washfastness with a ΔE around 5, without external cross-linkers. Some of them have better washfastness such as Latexes 17-19.
- As can be seen from the data collected above, most of the latex-based ink compositions printed on gray cotton fabric substrate showed good durability even without external crosslinkers, with a few showing excellent durability which is similar to commercially available Jantex™ polymers, available from JANTEX INKS, (USA), which includes melamine crosslinkers that can be toxic.
- Printability with respect to Turn On Energy (TOE) can be evaluated using a TOE curve, where the amount of energy (Joules) was evaluated to determine where a more consistent ink composition firing at a drop weight (DW) can be achieved. With this evaluation, higher drop weights achieved at lower energy levels is considered good. At some point the drop weight levels off so that more energy does not generate a greater drop weight. At the location on the TOE curve where an acceptable drop weight is achieved, and where it is starting to flatten out, can indicate an ink composition that has a desirable TOE curve. Stated another way, higher TOE curve is better, meaning higher drop weight at a given firing energy input level. With this analysis, it was found that adding even a thin acrylic latex polymer shell to a latex polymer core tended to increase drop weight and reduce energy input.
- The data collected for six (6) different ink compositions is shown in
FIG. 3 . Two of the ink compositions (Ink 13 and Ink 14) included acrylic single-phase latex particles, and the remaining four ink compositions (Ink 2,Ink 3,Ink 4, and Ink 10) included acrylic core/shell latex particles. As can be seen in the data, in all four cases, the higher curves were with the ink compositions with the core/shell latex particles. - To compare one set of curves, the TOE curve of
Ink 10 can be compared to the TOE curve ofInk 14. These two ink compositions include a latex with the same acrylic latex core (Latex 14 is 100 wt % “core”;Latex 10 includes the same core with a 15 wt % shell thereon), and the TOE curve forInk 10 is better at every point along the curve where the curve starts to flatten out (shown inFIG. 3 at (B) with an expanded Y-axis to more fully show the separation between the respective TOE curves). - Another comparison to consider is to compare
Ink 13 with 100 wt % acrylic single-phase latex particles to Inks 2-4, which include different weight percentages of acrylic shell, but are otherwise similar (except that the methacrylic acid is included in the “core” ofInk 13 to provide dispensability). More specifically,Ink 2 included 25 wt % shell polymer,Ink 3 included 35 wt % shell polymer, andInk 4 included 15 wt % shell polymer. The Ink that performed the best in the TOE curve analysis wasInk 3, which had the thickest acrylic shell, but even at 15 wt % shell as inInk 4, the TOE curve was better than withInk 13. - These comparisons tend to show that jettability can be improved with core-shell latexes as opposed to similar single-phase latexes. In further detail, the core-shell latexes had a higher surface Tg than the single-phase latexes, which may have also contributed to the improved jettabilty as illustrated by the TOE curve data.
