Abstract: A method for printing on a water-soluble material which comprises the following steps: a) ink jet printing an ink onto a water-soluble material so as to form an image wherein the ink comprises a self-dispersible pigment which comprises a carboxy-functional dispersant crosslinked around a pigment core by a cross-linking agent having at least two groups selected from oxetane, carbodiimide, hydrazide, oxazoline, aziridine, isocyanate, N-methylol, keteneimine, isocyanurate and epoxy groups; b) overprinting the image formed in step A) with a water soluble overprint varnish, also printed material and inks. Also inks, ink-sets and printed water-soluble material.

Abstract: A process for printing on a textile substrate comprising the steps of: (I) preparing an ink comprising the following components: (a) from 1 to 8 parts of a self-dispersible pigment which comprises a carboxy-functional dispersant crosslinked around a pigment core by a crosslinking agent having at least two groups selected from oxetane, carbodiimide, hydrazide, oxazoline, aziridine, isocyanate, N-methylol, keteneimine, isocyanurate and epoxy groups; (b) from 0 to 16 parts of a binder selected from one or more of an acrylic latex binder, a styrene acrylic latex binder and a styrene butadiene latex binder wherein the binder has a Tg in the range of from ?25° C. to 35° C.; (c) from 1 to 30 parts of one or more water-miscible organic solvents (d) from 0.1 to 3 parts of a surfactant; (e) from 0 to 5 parts of biocide; (f) from 0 to 10 parts of a viscosity modifier; (g) from 0 to 10 parts of a polyurethane latex binder with a Tg in the range of from ?25° C. to 35° C.

Abstract: Disclosed are cosmetic compositions and methods for making up keratinous tissue using the compositions, as well as methods of making the compositions. The compositions contain a photoluminescent polymer (PLP) which is an oligomeric polyester synthesized from a multifunctional monomer and a diol, and which has grafted thereon an amino acid or an amino acid derivative. The compositions achieve a colorizing and/or UV-protectant effect when applied to keratinous tissue.

Abstract: Disclosed are cosmetic compositions which include hair cosmetic or styling compositions, comprising: a maleic acid copolymer; a polyamine selected from polyamino acids and aminated polysaccharides; a neutralizer; and water, wherein the polyamine is present in an amount less than 0.1% by weight based on the total weight of the composition, and methods of making and using the compositions to impart or maintain hair style.

Abstract: Disclosed are cosmetic compositions and methods of making up keratinous tissue in a way that preserves long-wear but also greater comfort, reduced tackiness and enriched color, and which entail use of polyhedral oligomeric silsequioxanes (POSS)-grafted polyolefins.
