Abstract: An aqueous colored pigment-based ink that is capable of fluorescence, has a pigment colorant in an amount of 1-7 weight %; a non-polymeric fluorophore that when excited by fluorescence-exciting radiation having a peak of at least 200 nm and up to and including 400 nm, exhibits an emission peak of at least 400 nm and up to and including 750 nm, and which non-polymeric fluorophore is present in an amount of 0.1-2 weight %; and an aqueous medium comprising water. This aqueous colored pigment-based ink can be included in an ink set that also includes one or more aqueous colored pigment-based inks that are non-fluorescent. All of these inks can be inkjet printed on non-UV fluorescent substrates to provide images that can be detected when excited as noted above, which images can be provided on documents, lottery tickets, and other security papers.

This aqueous colored pigment-based ink can be included in an ink set that also includes one or more aqueous colored pigment-based inks that are non-fluorescent. All of these inks can be applied for example using inkjet printing, onto non-UV fluorescent substrates to provide images that can be detected when excited as noted above, which images can be provided on articles such as security documents, currency, and lottery tickets.

This aqueous colored pigment-based ink can be included in an ink set that also includes one or more aqueous colored pigment-based inks that are non-fluorescent. All of these inks can be applied using continuous inkjet (CIJ) printing, onto non-UV fluorescent substrates to provide images that can be detected when excited as noted above, which images can be provided on articles such as security documents, currency, and lottery tickets.

Abstract: A fluorescent colored image can be detected in an image on an article. This fluorescent colored image is obtained from applying an aqueous colored pigment-based ink that is capable of fluorescence, onto a suitable non-UV fluorescent substrate. This aqueous colored pigment-based ink has 1-7 weight % of a pigment colorant; and 0.1-2 weight % of a non-polymeric fluorophore that when excited by fluorescence-exciting radiation having a peak of at least 200 nm and up to and including 400 nm, exhibits an emission peak of at least 400 nm and up to and including 750 nm. This aqueous colored pigment-based ink that is capable of fluorescence can be applied using inkjet printing, onto non-UV fluorescent substrates to provide images that can be detected when excited as noted above, which images can be provided on articles such as security documents, currency, and lottery tickets.
