  • Patent number: 11230647
    Abstract: Clear inks are prone to heat-induced micro-gelling that can cause their storage stability to drop, and micro-gelling may also occur in clear inks with the passage of time, in which case their inkjet discharge property may drop. As a solution, a photocurable clear ink composition for inkjet printing is provided, which contains a photopolymerizable compound, a photopolymerization initiator, and an inorganic filler of 1 to 200 nm in average grain size accounting for 0.05 to 5.0 percent by mass in the composition, and whose visible light transmission factor is 30% or higher.

  • Publication number: 20210024762
    Abstract: An object is to obtain a photocurable inkjet printing ink composition that demonstrates excellent preservation stability and discharge property, while also presenting curability under ultraviolet light from a light-emitting diode (LED) light source, as well as good adhesion, flexibility and tackiness. As a solution, a photocurable inkjet printing ink composition containing photopolymerizable compounds and photopolymerization initiator is provided, wherein the photocurable inkjet printing ink composition satisfies A to D: A. 2-(allyloxy methyl) methyl acrylate is contained by 5 to 40 percent by mass in all photopolymerizable compounds; B. multifunctional monomers and/or multifunctional oligomers of 0° C. or lower in glass transition temperature are contained by 5 to 20 percent by mass in all photopolymerizable compounds; C. amino group and/or amide group-containing monomers and/or oligomers are contained; and D. the ink composition has a viscosity of 30 mPa·s or lower at 25° C.
