  • Patent number: 9611401
    Abstract: Novel inkjet ink compositions for forming an image in a form of an elastic film attached to a surface of a stretchable and/or flexible substrate and processes utilizing same for inkjet printing color images on various substrates such as colored and absorptive or impregnable stretchable materials, which are characterized by heightened efficiency in process time, ink and energy consumption, as well as products having durable, wash-fast and abrasion-fast images printed thereon by the process, are disclosed. The novel ink compositions comprise a first part, which contains a property-adjusting agent and a carrier, and a second part which contains an emulsified property-sensitive proto-elastomeric film-forming agent, a colorant and a carrier, such that the second part congeals upon contact with the property-adjusting agent. The second part is digitally applied to the substrate less than 1 second following the application of the first part to the substrate.

  • Patent number: 9453301
    Abstract: Compositions for and methods of digitally printing an ink image onto a woven textile material are provided. A base application is applied to the surface of a woven textile material, especially one comprising synthetic resin fibers prior to application of an ink image layer. The base application comprises an acrylic latex material that is formulated to imprinted upon with a digital ink while still wet, thereby eliminating the need for an intermediate drying cycle in between base application deposit and printing of the ink image.

  • Publication number: 20160194509
    Abstract: A dye discharge composition exhibiting extended shelf life and/or pot life and high suitability for inkjet printing on dyed substrates, is disclosed. The composition comprises a reducing agent such as, for example, a sulfur-based reducing agent, and a chelating agent, such as a sodium salt of a polyamino carboxylic acid chelating agent. Use of the dye discharge composition in combination with a translucent colored composition and an optional opaque underbase composition, for forming an image on a dyed substrate is also disclosed. Processes for inkjet printing of an image on a dyed surface using the dye discharge composition or an ink formulation containing same, and kits for use in such processes, are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20150152274
    Abstract: Novel processes for printing high quality, high resolution, multi-color images on darkly colored fibrous or porous materials or other ink absorbing materials, is disclosed. The processes are effected by digitally printing a layer of an opaque, lightly colored ink composition, followed by digitally printing the colored image thereon, and optionally further involve applying a wetting composition prior to and/or subsequent to these printings. Processes utilizing wetting compositions and/or liquid ink compositions which can interact therebetween so as to effect a chemical and/or physical change in one or more of these compositions are further disclosed.
