  • Patent number: 7559639
    Abstract: Curable monomer that is liquid at 25° C., curable wax and colorant together from a radiation curable ink. This ink may be used to form images by providing the radiation curable ink at a first temperature; applying the radiation curable ink to the substrate to form an image, the substrate being at a second temperature, which is below the first temperature; and exposing the radiation curable ink to radiation to cure the ink.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7553011
    Abstract: Ink compositions that include one or more radiation curable oil soluble components and one or more thermal solvents are provided, as well as methods of preparing such ink compositions and methods of using such ink compositions are provided. A jet printing method that jets an ink composition onto an intermediate substrate and transfers the intermediate image to a substrate for exposure to radiation having wavelengths within the range of about 4 nanometers to about 500 nanometers is provided.

  • Publication number: 20090130586
    Abstract: A method for forming toner particles includes polymerizing monomers to form a latex comprising polymer particles; combining the latex with an unsaturated curable resin to form aggregates containing the polymer particles and the unsaturated curable resin particles; and heating the aggregates to form coalesced particles. A toner composition that may be formed by the process described herein contains toner particles containing: (i) a polymer comprising a photoinitiator, (ii) an unsaturated curable resin and, (iii) a colorant.

  • Patent number: 7501015
    Abstract: The phase change ink a viscosity of from about 4 mPa-s to about 50 mPa-s at a first temperature and has a viscosity of from 104 mPa-s to about 109 mPa-s at a second lower temperature. The second temperature may be below the first temperature by at least 10° C. but by no more than 50° C. The first temperature may be from about 60° C. to about 110° C. and the second temperature may be from about 20° C. to about 70° C. A curve of log10 viscosity of the phase change ink plotted against temperature in degrees Celsius may have a slope having an absolute value less than 0.02 at the first temperature and have a slope having an absolute value greater than 0.08 for at least a region second temperatures.

  • Patent number: 7494755
    Abstract: A method for forming toner particles includes polymerizing monomers to form a latex comprising polymer particles; combining the latex with unsaturated curable resin to form aggregates containing the polymer particles and the unsaturated curable resin particles; and heating the aggregates to form coalesced particles. A toner composition that may be formed by the process described herein contains toner particles containing polymer containing photoinitiator and unsaturated curable resin. Another toner composition that may be formed by the process described herein contains toner particles containing unsaturated curable resin and, on the surface of the toner particles, photoinitiator.
