Definitions

  • Ink-jet printing is a non-contact method of printing in which droplets of ink are produced and directed through at least one orifice onto a substrate.
  • Ink-jet printing can be subdivided into two general technology groups; continuous ink-jet printing and drop-on-demand ink-jet printing.
  • continuous ink-jet printing the ink droplets are produced continuously.
  • a charge is applied to the ink droplets, which then are deflected through an electrostatic field.
  • the charged droplets are either controlled to return to the ink chamber through a gutter return system or are directed onto a specific location on a moving substrate.
  • drop-on-demand ink-jet printing droplets of inks are not charged and are formed or expelled from the orifice when required for printing on the moving substrate.
  • Ink-jet ink compositions must meet certain requirements to work reliably in ink-jet printers. These properties relate to viscosity, solubility, surface tension, and compatibility of components. Further, the ink must be quick-drying and capable of producing a clear and distinct image on the substrate. For use in continuous ink printers, ink compositions require sufficient conductivity for reliable ink droplet charging.
  • White opaque ink- jet ink compositions will not show up clearly on white substrates.
  • Yellow opaque and light blue opaque ink-jet ink compositions are currently available in the market places. These inks often either do not run reliably in ink-jet printers, or they contain titanium dioxide in addition to the yellow or blue colorant and so will be requiring an external mechanism in the ink-jet printer to keep the white pigment suspended or they do not provide sufficient opacity on both white and black substrates.
  • the objective of this invention is to provide a more improved and reliable pigmented ink composition, suitable for use in ink-jet printers to provide opaque images.
  • a second objective of this invention is to produce a robust orange pigmented ink to run reliably in an ink-jet printer.
  • Another objective of this invention is to produce an opaque pigmented ink, that has good shelf life and stability.
  • a further objective of this invention is to produce an opaque ink composition, which is non-settling and can be used in ink-jet printers, which do not employ a mechanical device to keep the pigment in the ink suspended.
  • Yet another objective is to produce a robust reliable ink-jet ink composition, which has good shelf life stability and good adhesion to porous and non-porous substrates.
  • the invention relates to an ink-jet ink.
  • the ink-jet ink includes: a colorant selected from the group consisting of Pigment Orange 16 and Pigment Orange 64; a dispersant selected from the group consisting of polymeric hyperdispersants and polymeric dispersants with pigment-affinic groups; a polymer; and a solvent.
  • the present invention provides a non-settling ink suitable for use in ink-jet printers for printing opaque images onto both white and black substrates.
  • An advantage of the ink in this invention is that it has an extended shelf life and can be used reliably in both opaque and non-opaque ink-jet printers and does not lead to the clogging of nozzles or the blockage of the filters fitted in the ink systems of ink-jet printing systems.
  • the ink-jet composition of the present invention includes a solvent, a pigment selected from the group consisting of Pigment Orange 16 and Pigment Orange 64, a dispersant selected from the group consisting of polymeric hyperdispersants and polymeric dispersing agents with pigment-affinic groups, and a polymer.

If desired, a mixture of pigments and dyes, which dissolve in the ink composition, can be used to modify the final color of the ink. Preferred pigments are Pigment Red 254, Pigment Red 255 and orange pigments based on nickel.
  • the pigments added to the ink either are dispersed with a dispersant selected from the group consisting of polymeric hyperdispersants and polymeric dispersing agents with pigment-affinic groups.
