  • Publication number: 20070247502
    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°.

  • Publication number: 20050065234
    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.
