Definitions

  • This invention relates to intermediates for use in the preparation of ink-jet dyes and to ink-jet dyes prepared from these intermediates.
  • Ink jet printing is a non-impact printing technique in which droplets of ink are ejected through a fine nozzle onto a substrate without bringing the nozzle into contact with the substrate.
  • the set of inks used in this technique typically comprise yellow, magenta, cyan and black inks.
  • ink jet printers have many advantages over other forms of printing and image development there are still technical challenges to be addressed.
  • ink colorants that are soluble in the ink medium and yet display excellent wet-fastness (i.e. prints that do not run or smudge when printed).
  • the inks also need to dry quickly to avoid printed sheets sticking together, but they should not form a crust over the tiny nozzle used in the printer.
  • Storage stability is also important to avoid particle formation that could block the printer nozzles especially since consumers can keep an ink jet ink cartridge for several months.
  • the resultant images should not bronze or fade rapidly on exposure to light or common oxidising gases such as ozone. It is also important that the shade and chroma of the colorant are exactly right so that any image may be optimally reproduced.
  • phthalocyanines have been the only cyan dyes able to meet these demanding criteria.
  • azaphthalocyanines have begun to show considerable promise.
