Abstract: The present invention is a decorative glass laminate comprising a rigid interlayer bearing a printed image that has been printed onto at least one of the interlayer surfaces, and a process for preparing same.

Abstract: The present invention is a decorative laminated article comprising an image bearing thermoplastic interlayer wherein the image has been printed on the interlayer using an ink jet printing process, wherein the pigment comprises at least one pigment selected from the group consisting of: PY 120; PY 155; PY 128; PY 180; PY 95; PY 93; PV19/PR 202; PR 122; PB 15:4; PB 15:3; and PBI 7. The interlayer material of the present invention can be, for example, PVB, PET, or polyurethane.

Abstract: This invention pertains to an ink set for inkjet printing, in particular to a non-aqueous ink set comprising one or more inks based on certain pigment colorants. The invention also pertains to a method of inkjet printing with this ink set.

Abstract: A method of making an ink jet ink that entails combining a water miscible organic solvent, water, and a pigment dispersion, and blending the water miscible organic solvent, the water, and the pigment dispersion together to form the ink jet ink, wherein the ink jet ink is capable of exhibiting no pigment precipitation, no pigment agglomeration, and no pigment flocculation after being stored in the absence of any agitation for a period of at least about 1 month.

Abstract: A method of printing an image on a substrate with an ink jet printer, the method including the step of ejecting a plurality of discrete portions of ink from the ink jet printer toward the substrate, the ink including at least three different inks with each ink of each different pair of inks containing either different dyes or different concentrations of the same dye, and the step of sequentially forming a plurality of layers of ink dots on the substrate using the discrete portions of ink, with adjacent layers having overlapping ink dots formed of different inks, the plurality of layers of ink dots constituting the image, and the image fully covering all portions of the substrate beneath the image.

Abstract: A method of forming a printing ink, the method including combining a nitrogen-containing cyclic organic compound, a glycol ether or a glycol ether acetate, and a colorant; and homogeneously blending the nitrogen-containing cyclic organic compound, the glycol ether or the glycol ether acetate, and the colorant to form the ink jet printing ink.

Abstract: Encapsulated particles, such as magnetic particles, colored pigments, or carbon black, with high chemical affinity for ink vehicles. The encapsulated particles of this invention are suitable for printing inks, as well as for magnetic recording systems, such as audio and video tapes and magnetic storage disks, when the encapsulated particles are magnetic particles. The encapsulated particles comprise particles having a coating on their surface, said coating comprising in one embodiment an ionomer and in another embodiment, an oil, such as soya oil, and optionally a thixotropic agent, and/or a binder resin. The method of the present invention for making such encapsulated particles avoids the use of volatile organic solvents and provides printing inks and coating compositions comprising such encapsulated particles, that also avoid the use of volatile organic solvents.
