  • Patent number: 7527655
    Abstract: An ink jet printing process in which an image is permanently bound, directly or indirectly, to a final substrate by reaction of the ink with the substrate. An ink jet ink is that is comprised of reactive dyes, direct dyes or combinations thereof are printed according to the process.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: May 5, 2009
    Assignee: Sawgrass Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Barbara J. Wagner, Ming Xu
  • Patent number: 6840614
    Abstract: A formulation and method of printing an ink or meltable ink layer having reactive dyes or mixtures of reactive dyes and disperse dyes as colorants. The ink or ink melt layer also includes an alkaline substance, a binder, and optionally, a heat-activated printing additive. Permanently bonded color images are provided by the reaction between the reactive dye and the final substrate, which may be any cellulosic, protein, or polyamide fiber material, or mixtures with polyester. Reaction occurs upon heat activation of the printed ink image.

  • Patent number: 5326872
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for preparing asymmetric isoindoline pigments of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is an electron-withdrawing group, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are independently hydrogen, alkyl, or aryl, and R.sup.4 R.sup.5 R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are independently hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, or aryloxy. The process employs an initial reaction of a 1,2-dicyanobenzene with an alcohol in an organic medium in the presence of a base. The resultant imino-isoindoline intermediate composition reacts without isolation with a cyanomethylene compound NC--CH.sub.2 -R.sup.1 to form a partly condensed product that is then condensed, optionally without isolation, in the presence of water with barbituric acid or a derivative thereof to form the asymmetric isoindoline pigment.
