  • Publication number: 20260103612
    Abstract: An over-print varnish formulation is described. The formulation comprises a non-ionic polyurethane dispersion; a water-soluble polymer of Mw less than 55,000; a wax having a particle size (d50) 200 nm or less; and a water-soluble solvent, and at least 20 wt % solids, based on the total weight of the formulation. A method of printing using the formulation, and a printed article are also described.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20230095396
    Abstract: A method of printing is described. The method comprises applying a fixer composition onto a substrate. The fixer composition comprises a polyvalent metal salt, a cationic polymer, and a liquid vehicle, with a ratio of polyvalent metal salt to cationic polymer in a range of 1:1 to 3.5:1. The method comprises applying an ink composition onto the fixer composition; and applying an over-print varnish composition onto the ink composition. A printed article and a print set are also described.

  • Patent number: 10947399
    Abstract: Herein is described a piezo-jettable varnish composition comprising a latex polymer having a weight averaged molecular weight Mw of greater than about 50 000, a polymeric salt derived from an acidic polymer having a weight averaged molecular weight Mw in the range of about 1000 to about 50 000, water, and a co-solvent, wherein, the latex polymer and polymeric salt are present in amounts such that the ratio of latex polymer to polymeric salt by weight is in the range of greater than about 1:1 to about 8:1.
