Abstract: A method of printing on a polymeric article includes applying a decoration-forming deposit on a transfer blanket. The method further includes transferring the decoration-forming deposit from the transfer unit to the polymeric article to provide a decoration on the polymeric article.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an energy curable ink or coating composition comprising a low migration photoinitiator, and at least one multifunctional hybrid monomer having a polymerizable (meth)acrylate group and a polymerizable vinylether group, and electrically insulating dielectric layers for use in printed electronic devices formed upon curing the ink or coating composition.

Abstract: An ink jet-printable composition, which comprises a compound having a reactive silyl group and which is suitable for printing on non-porous substrates such as a glass or ceramic, and a process of decorating non-porous substrates involving ink jet printing the composition onto the substrate, exposing the printed composition to actinic or electron beam radiation to initiate curing and heating the printed composition to a temperature of at least 100° C.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process of ink jet printing a radiation-curable ink from a printer having a de-wetting faceplate onto a substrate in which the ink is such that it has an advancing contact angle on the substrate of no more than 22° and a receding contact angle on the faceplate, after a period of contact of one month, of greater than 28°. The invention also provides a radiation-curable ink for use in an ink jet printer having a de-wetting faceplate, the ink having a receding contact angle on a material having a surface energy in the range of 16 to 20 dyne/cm of greater than 28° after a period of contact of one month and having an advancing contact angle on a substrate having a surface energy of less than 30 dyne/cm of no more than 22°.

Abstract: An ink jet ink comprises (a) an emulsion polymer selected from acrylic-acrylonitrile polymers, butadiene-acrylonitrile polymers, styrene-acrylic polymers, acrylic-butadiene polymers and polyurethanes; (b) a cross-linking agent; (c) a pigment; and (d) a liquid medium. The ink is suitable for use in printing on textile substrates.
