  • Patent number: 10570297
    Abstract: A UV curable colourless inkjet liquid includes at least one radical photoinitiator and a polymerizable composition, wherein the polymerizable composition contains a mixture of: a) 25 to 50 wt % of a monofunctional methacrylate; b) 40 to 70 wt % of a polyfunctional acrylate; and c) 0 to 15 wt % of a monofunctional acrylate; with the weight percentage wt % based on the total weight of the polymerizable composition.

  • Patent number: 9751337
    Abstract: An inkjet printing method for producing images durable for outdoor usage includes the steps of: a) inkjet printing on a substrate a UV curable colorless primer including monofunctional monomers in a range of 40 wt % to 65 wt % based on the total weight of the UV curable colorless primer; b) at least partially UV curing the inkjet printed UV curable colorless primer; and c) inkjet printing on the at least partially cured UV curable colorless primer one or more UV curable color inkjet inks including monofunctional monomers in a range of 30 wt % to 60 wt % based on the total weight of the UV curable color inkjet inks; wherein a ratio of the wt % monofunctional monomers in the UV curable colorless primer over the wt % monofunctional monomers in the one or more UV curable color inkjet inks is between 0.65 and 2.10.
