  • Publication number: 20180273787
    Abstract: The invention describes the use of a water-based energy curable inkjet ink or coating composition comprising one or more synthetic rheology modifiers, one or more energy curable resins, one or more tertiary amines, and water. The viscosity of the water-based energy curable inkjet ink or coating compositions is fine tuned to the requirements of the print head through the use of a synthetic thickener. The extremely low levels required of this type of material are particularly advantageous because they then have little if any impact on the physical properties of the dried and UV cured ink. Surprisingly, the use of s synthetic thickener at these low levels gives Newtonian character inks.
