Abstract: Description of an inkjet ink for application in inkjet printers, comprising (a) a solvent, which contains at least 80% of a homopolar, non-watery solvent, (c) one or several phospholipides. In such inkjet inks, the phospholipides have a stabilizing effect. In some applications it may be beneficial with respect to certain pigments to employ an additional dispersant. The inkjet ink has, with concurrent high dispersing stability, significantly improved de-wetting property, with high optical density and excellent storage stability on a nozzle plate of an inkjet print head.

Abstract: The present invention comprises an abrasion-resistant and blocking-resistant hot melt ink, which can be printed at a temperature of approximately 80.degree. C. to 100.degree. C. which includes an adhesion-facilitating substance, a viscosity-facilitating substance and a copolymer of polyvinyl pyrrolidone with one or several long-chain .alpha.-olefins with at least 10 carbon atoms. The ink has excellent adhesion properties with respect to the imprintable material or printing substrate, and withstands normal handling such as folding or bending. Additionally, the present invention includes colored hot melt inks that exhibit improved transparency properties even if the inks are formulated for printing at low temperatures.

Abstract: Described is an ink for use in ink jet printers, comprising (a) a solvent, which consists at least of approximately 80% of a homopolar, non-watery solvent, (b) a pigment dispersed in the solvent and (c) a copolymer of vinyl-pyrrolidone with one or several long-chain .alpha.-olefins with at least 6 carbon atoms, specifically with 6 to 24 carbon atoms. Properties of the ink are as follows: reduced color bleeding, reduced penetration of coloring agent into the surface of the paper, improved optical density and improved storage stability.
