  • Topcoat compositions, substrates containing a topcoat derived therefrom, and methods of preparing the same
    Patent number: 6866383
    Abstract: This invention relates to an ink-receptive composition, including: (a) a filler; (b) a binder having a Tg of less than 30° C.; and (c) a cationic polymer; wherein the composition, when coated on a substrate, forms an ink-receptive coating which accepts ink loading greater than about 300%. The coating compositions provide a printable surface receptive to high loading of ink-jet inks which do not crack at loading in excess of 300%, and in one embodiment, do not crack at loading up to about 400%. In addition, the print shows superior liquid resistance and the print quality of the inks is improved and a reduction in bleeding of colors occurs. Also, printed article have outdoor durability especially those with overlaminates.

  • Topcoat compositions, substrates coated therewith and method of making and using the same
    Publication number: 20030180541
    Abstract: This invention relates to a topcoat composition comprising (i) a mixture of (A) at least one polyurethane and (B) at least one durability improving polymer, (ii) a mixture of two or more acrylic urethanes, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii). The invention also relates to ink receptive sheets comprising a substrate containing a topcoat derived from the topcoat compositions. The topcoat compositions of the present invention provide a flexible and durable substrate that allows printing with solvent based inkjet inks used with non-vented printers and UV inkjet inks.
