Abstract: The present invention relates to ink compositions. More particularly, the ink compositions contain the basic ingredients of pigment inks for inkjet applications. Those ingredients are pigment dispersions, humectants, surfactants/penetrants, biocide, and balance water. In addition to these ingredients, the ink compositions of the present invention contain from about 2.5% to about 7.5% of a latex binder emulsion. The latex binder emulsions include all types of polyacrylates such as polyacrylates, polymethacrylates, and styrene-acrylates or methacrylates wherein the glass transition temperature is greater than 50° C. and the particle size of the polymer emulsion is under 500 nm. Using of the high Tg latex polymer emulsions described herein allows a high pigment load, but without negatively influencing jetting.
