Definitions
- This invention relates to a process for the coloration of substrates by means of an ink jet printer and to inks suitable for use in the process.
- IJP Ink Jet printing
- Canadian patent application 2,531 ,625 describes textile ink jet printing processes using aqueous inks containing reactive dyes.
- the textile is treated with an ink-receptive pre-treatment composition, usually containing a strong alkali.
- the alkali removes the hydrogen atom from hydroxyl groups in sugars making up the textile material and renders them reactive towards dyes contained in the ink.
- the nucleophilic, deprotonated hydroxyl groups react with the reactive dye to form a covalent bond there between.
- the textile is heated to a temperature around 100 0 C using saturated steam in order to facilitate this covalent bond formation.
- the printed textile is washed to remove the pre-treatment composition and unfixed dye and then dried.
- inks In an increasingly cost conscious and competitive ink jet market, it is desirable for inks to be as cheap as possible. Desirably the inks produce brightly coloured prints with good fastness properties.
- a particular problem with many inks used in the home and office environment is that they fade quickly, particularly on contact with ozone. Fading is a particular problem with photographs because they are on display and spend long periods bathed in light and in contact with oxidising gases.
- the requirement for storage stable inks is more demanding in the home and office environment than in the field of textile printing. In the home environment printers are used less frequently than in say a textile printing factory and so inks need to be stable for longer periods of time.
- a process for printing an image on a substrate comprising applying to the substrate by means of an ink jet printer an ink comprising a water-soluble compound of Formula (1 ) which is free from fibre-reactive groups:
- each R 1 and R 2 independently is a substituent other than H; m and n each independently has a value of 0 to 4; (m+n) has a value of at least 1 ;

- at least one of the groups represented by R 1 and R 2 is a sulpho group;
- At least one of the groups represented by R 1 is Ci -4 -alkyI or Ci -4 - alkoxy.
- R 1 or R 2 is a substituent other than H it is preferably C 1-8 -alkyl, Ci -8 -alkoxy, NR 4 R 5 , NHCOR 4 , NHCONR 4 R 5 , -C(O)R 4 , -C(O)OR 4 , -C(O)NR 4 R 5 , PO 3 H 2 , -SR 4 , -SO 2 R 4 , -SO 2 NR 4 R 5 , -SOR 4 , sulpho, carboxy, CF 3 , CN, NO 2 , phenyl or halogen, wherein R 4 and R 5 are each independently H, Ci -4 -alkyl or Ci_ 4 -alkyl carrying a hydroxyl, carboxy or sulpho group, or R 4 and R 5 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form an optionally substituted 5- or 6-membered ring, or Ci -8 -alkyl, Ci-s-alkoxy, NR 4

- the printing process of the present invention has the advantage that it may use compounds which are simpler and therefore cheaper than those described in Canadian patent application 2,531 ,625.
- the inks used in the process have good storage stability. While not wishing to be limited to any particular theory, the absence of fibre-reactive groups may play a part in this stability.
- the chlorotriazine and beta sulphatoethyl sulphone reactive groups used in the dyes of Canadian patent application 2,531 ,625 are naturally labile and over time they may degrade, generating acids and other species which may affect the stability of the ink. In coarse textile printing this might be tolerable, but for printing photographs where high definition and true colours are very important it can be a problem.
- the resultant prints are generally very bright and show good resistance to fade on contact with ozone.
- the compounds of Formula (1) also have good operability in ink jet printers.
- Inks comprising compounds of Formula (1 ) demonstrate a low tendency to crust over or block nozzles when printed from an ink jet printer.
- Fiber-reactive groups are free from fibre-reactive groups because no such groups are required.
- the term fibre-reactive group is well known in the textile art and is described for example in EP 0356014 A1.
- Fibre-reactive groups are capable, under alkaline conditions, of reacting with the hydroxy! groups present in cellulosic fibres or with the amino groups present in natural fibres to form a covalent linkage between the fibre and the dye.
- the compounds of Formula (1) may be prepared by, for example, by condensing an amine of formula H 2 N-R 3 with a compound of Formula (2):

- a zinc salt is present, e.g. zinc acetate.
- the dicarboxylic acid equivalent of the compound of Formula (2) may be used instead, i.e. where there anhydride ring has been opened to give two carboxylic acid groups.
- Suitable amines of formula H 2 N-R 3 include amino acids, for example taurine, 1-amino-3-sulphopropane, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, arginine, sulphanilic acid, metanilic acid and 1-amino-3-carboxy benzene.
- Water-soluble compounds of Formula (1 ) may also be prepared by sulphonation of the corresponding compound which lacks or has fewer sulpho groups. Oleum may be used as a sulphonating agent.
- Compounds of Formula (1 ) where Y is S may be prepared by ring opening the corresponding anhydride where Y is O and treating the resultant dicarboxylic acid with a sulphurising agent and then ring closing again.
- Compounds of Formula (1 ) where Y is SO or SO 2 may be prepared by oxidising the corresponding compound where Y is S, e.g. with a peroxide.
- the compounds of Formula (2) may be prepared by the general method of Peters and Behesti in the Journal of the Society of Dyers and Colorists, 1989, 105, 29.

- Inks may be prepared as described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-047987 except that a compound of Formula (1 ) as defined in the first aspect of the present invention is used in place of the colorant used therein.
- Preferred inks of this type are described in claim 3 and Table 1 (at [0054]) of JP2005- 047987.
- the inks contain 1 ,2-hexane diol.
- the black compositions A to D described in Table IV below may be prepared by mixing together the components in the amounts indicated. These black compositions may be used to prepare black ink jet printing inks, for example having an analogous formulation to the inks described in Table III above except that each of the black compositions described in Table IV is used instead of Compound 2 alone.
- the yellow compositions E to I described in Table V below may be prepared by mixing together the components indicated. These yellow compositions may be used to prepare ink jet printing inks, for example having an analogous formulation to the inks described in Table III above except that each of the yellow compositions described in Table V is used instead of Compound 2 alone. Table V
- Ink sets may be prepared wherein each ink has the formulation described for Ink A in Table III above, except that in the magenta, cyan and black inks Compound 2 was replaced by the colorant indicated in Table Vl below:
- Cab-O-jet is a trade mark of Cabot corporation.
- Pro-Jet is a trade mark of Fujifilm Imaging Colorants Limited.
- the ink sets described in Table Vl may be incorporated into a thermal ink jet printer and printed onto paper.
