Abstract: Method and system for providing an augmented photobook that includes at least one interactive feature. An image of a symbology printed on a page of a photobook is captured, and address information contained therein is decoded. A web browser of an electronic device is directed to a website identified by the address information, and additional information related to the photobook is received from a remote computing device associated with the website. The additional information related to the photobook is displayed on the electronic device. Additionally, a level of access to the website is determined for a user of the electronic device. A user request to transmit new content to the website is received it is determined whether the level of access corresponds to permission rights for the website. If the level of access corresponds to the permission rights then the new content is transmitted and aggregated at the website.

Abstract: An ink jet printing process includes jetting an ink composition onto a substrate. The ink composition is an emulsion or suspension of an organic phase in a water phase, the organic phase including at least one of oil and wax.

Abstract: Disclosed is an ink composition which comprises an aqueous liquid vehicle, a dye, and a cyclodextrin. The ink is particularly suitable for ink jet printing processes, especially thermal ink jet printing processes. Also disclosed is a process for generating images onto a substrate which comprises incorporating an ink composition comprising an aqueous liquid vehicle, a dye, and a cyclodextrin into an ink jet printing apparatus and causing droplets of the ink composition to be ejected in an imagewise pattern onto the substrate.

Abstract: An ink composition having a pH of about 5 to about 10 contains a colorant, a liquid carrier and less than about 5 wt. % of a desizing agent. The desizing agent may be (1) poly(oxyalkylene) modified compounds of sorbitan esters, fatty amines, alkanol amides, castor oil, fatty acid, fatty alcohol; (2) hydrophilic poly(dialkyl-siloxanes); (3) fatty imidazolines; (4) fatty ester modified compounds of phosphate, sorbitan, glycerol, poly(ethylene glycol), sulfosuccinic acid, sulfonic acid, alkyl amine; (5) quaternary alkosulfate compounds; (6) poly(propylene oxide)--poly(ethylene oxide) copolymers; (7) poly(alkylene glycol); or (8) mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed is an ink composition which comprises an aqueous liquid vehicle, a colorant, and a phosphate ester. The ink is particularly suitable for ink jet printing processes, especially thermal ink jet printing processes. The inks exhibit low viscosities and rapid drying times, particularly on plain paper. Also disclosed is a process for generating images onto a substrate which comprises incorporating an ink composition which comprises an aqueous liquid vehicle, a colorant, and a phosphate ester into an ink jet printing apparatus and causing droplets of the ink composition to be ejected in an imagewise pattern onto the substrate.

Abstract: Fast drying ink compositions contain a colorant, a dye, water and a cosolvent. Some of the ink compositions dry in less than about 1 second and have a viscosity of between about 1.6 and about 2.5 centipoise and a specified surface tension. Some of the ink compositions contain specified cosolvents, preferably a mixture of diethylene glycol monobutyl ether and glycerol.

Abstract: An ink composition, preferably for ink jet printing, contains a liquid carrier, a colorant, and a polyalkyleneimine/alkylene oxide block copolymer, preferably polyethyleneimine/propylene oxide/ethylene oxide block copolymer, and/or a primary or secondary polyoxyalkylene amine.
