Abstract: Water-based formulations comprising an indicating composition dispersed in water are described. The water-based indicating compositions include an organic Bi(III) compound, a sulfur source, and a carbonate salt. Formulations further including a resin and/or an acidic additive are also described.

Abstract: Ink jet printable compositions comprise an aqueous vehicle, particles of a self-crosslinking polymer, and optional colorant. In one embodiment, an ink jet printable ink may comprise an aqueous vehicle, a colorant, and a silyl-terminated sulfopoly(ester-urethane) polymer. In another embodiment, an ink jet printable ink comprises an aqueous vehicle, colorant, and at least 20 weight percent dispersed shear deformable polymer particles wherein the polymer is self-crosslinking. In another aspect, the invention concerns methods of printing a composition, and printed articles produced thereby.

Abstract: A method for removing tattoos is disclosed. Generally, the method includes administering an IRM compound to the tattooed region. In some cases, the method also includes treating a tattooed area with a cell disrupter such as a laser beam.

Abstract: At least two fixable fluid materials are digitally applied adjacent to each other on a surface of a substrate and fixed to provide fixed coatings having different surface energies The first fixed coating has a first average receding contact angle with water, and the second fixed coating has a second average receding contact angle with water, wherein the magnitude of the difference between the first and second average receding contact angle is at least 30 degree. The coated substrates are useful for controlling the flow of fluid.

Abstract: Methods of applying adhesive to a surface of a substrate comprise: digitally applying a fixable fluid material to a portion of the substrate surface, fixing the first fluid material to form a fixed coating in contact with the substrate surface, wherein the fixed coating has at least one boundary that encloses a region of the substrate surface within the at least one boundary, and applying a second fluid material comprising at least one of an adhesive and an adhesive precursor to at least a portion of the enclosed region of the substrate surface. Various products, including laminated products, may be prepared according to such methods.
