Patent number: 6989053Abstract: The present invention provides ink-jet inks and methods for increasing slewing time of an ink-jet ink pen without significant decap. The composition can comprise an effective amount of a dye, an effective amount of an ink vehicle, and an effective amount of an anti-slewing decap agent comprising an alkyl aryl sulfonamide. In one embodiment, the anti-slewing decap agent consists essentially of the alkyl aryl sulfonamide. With regard to the method, the steps can including formulating the composition; loading the ink-jet ink in an ink-jet pen; and configuring the ink-jet pen to allow for increased slewing time between firing. Additionally, a system of printing high quality images with reduced slewing decap can comprise an ink-jet ink pen configured for firing non-image producing spits at from 3 and 6 second intervals, an ink-jet ink composition having an effective amount of an alkyl aryl sulfonamide present, and a substrate for accepting the ink-jet ink composition such that the high quality image is formed.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2003Date of Patent: January 24, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Jeffrey E.

Patent number: 6648462Abstract: The present invention is drawn to ink-jet ink compositions, methods, and systems for increasing the bleed and smear fastness and optical density of a printed image. Specifically, an aqueous ink-jettable ink composition is disclosed which exhibits a decrease in pH upon exposure to radiation, followed by precipitation of the ink colorant. The composition can include an ink vehicle, an effective amount of an ink colorant having pH dependent solubility properties, and an effective amount of a photo-initiated acid generator. The method includes the steps of formulating the composition, jetting the ink composition from an ink-jet pen onto a substrate, and exposing the ink-jetted ink on the substrate to radiation wherein the ink-jet ink composition exhibits reduced pH, followed by precipitation of the colorant.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2002Date of Patent: November 18, 2003Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Kai Kong Iu, Rodney D.
