Abstract: This disclosure relates to new printable cannabinoid and terpene compositions, and method for making and using the same. Inkjet printer technology is used to dose precise amounts of purified cannabinoids such that a user may select the type of effect desired and in the amount they want. Various methods include inhaling and ingesting through the use of different substrates.

Abstract: An apparatus for distributing a hydrophobic material in a substrate includes a first roller, second roller that engages the first roller to form a nip, a heater operatively connected to the first roller and configured to heat the first roller to a first temperature that is greater than a second temperature of the second roller, and a substrate transport configured to move a substrate through the nip at a predetermined velocity. The first roller engages a first side of the substrate and the second roller engages a second side of the substrate to enable the hydrophobic material to penetrate into the substrate.

Abstract: A solid or phase change inkjet ink incorporating a polar acidic wax is described. The use of polar waxes as an ink additive improves the polarity of the ink and adhesion of the ink to paper. A method for applying the solid or phase change ink incorporating an acidic polar wax additive to form an image is also described.

Abstract: The invention provides an ink composition comprising a colorant, water and wax particles, the wax particles comprising at least two kinds of wax; an ink set including the ink composition; and a method of forming an image using the ink composition.

Abstract: Phosphor and fluorescent compositions and methods of producing them are provided.

Abstract: A radiation curable ink includes a curable monomer or oligomer, a curable wax, a colorant, and at least one initiator.

Abstract: The invention provides a printing ink for printing on a decorated sheet for application to integral molding of synthetic resin, which is less capable of curling the decorated sheet and less susceptible to run during molding.

Abstract: Disclosed is a colorant composition of the formula wherein R is an alkyl group, an aryl group, an arylalkyl group, or an alkylaryl group, and wherein R can be joined to the phenyl moiety to form a ring, R′ is an aromatic- or heteroaromatic-containing group, each Ra, independently of the others, is a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a nitrile group, a nitro group, an amide group, or a sulfonamide group, w is an integer of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, n is an integer representing the number of carbon atoms in each repeat alkylene oxide unit, and x is an integer representing the number of repeat alkylene oxide units, wherein said colorant has no more than one —OH, —SH, or primary or secondary amino group per molecule.

Abstract: A hot melt ink composition containing a an alkylene distearate which improves the color strength of the ink and is formed as a reaction product of a C4-C8 diol and at least one acid selected from the group consisting of a C16-C18 monofunctional acid and a C9-C10 difunctional acid.

Abstract: A method for forming a mark on a food product is disclosed. The method includes: (a) heating an edible hot melt ink including a colorant to a temperature sufficient to liquify the ink; and (b) transferring the ink to a substrate to provide a mark on the food product.

Abstract: An aqueous ink for a ball-point pen which is stable over time and has high pigment dispersion stability, includes a pigment, a water-soluble organic solvent, water, xanthane gum of about 0.01 to about 0.2 wt. % and a sodium alginate of about 0.2 to about 0.6 wt. % of a total amount of the ink.

Abstract: A deposition material for an electrostatic deposition apparatus such as an ink for an electrostatic ink jet printer, the material comprising a carrier liquid having insulative properties, a charging agent which is soluble in the carrier liquid, and a charge augmenting additive which is soluble in the carrier liquid. The charge augmenting additives are carrier soluble materials that assist in the dissociation of the charging agent. Generally it is found that they are materials which contain nitrogen groups, e.g. amine functionality.

Abstract: The present invention provides a transparent coating comprising a resin and a heat responsive material that increases in opacity when exposed to heat. Preferably, the transparent coating is free or substantially free of a pigment or dye. An example of a heat responsive material is a carbohydrate. The present invention further provides a coating composition comprising a solvent, a resin, and a heat responsive material that increases in opacity when exposed to heat. The present invention further provides a method for creating a mark on a substrate comprising providing to the substrate the transparent coating to obtain a coated substrate and exposing a selected area of the coated substrate to heat to create the mark. The substrates can be marked with a laser.

Abstract: A process for homogeneously dispersing at least one reactant in a fluid matrix, characterized in that capsules of a first type containing the reactant(s) are prepared with a first encapsulation product and capsules of a second type containing the fluid matrix are prepared with a second encapsulation product which is compatible with the first, these two types of capsules bearing electric charges of opposite polarity, the capsules of the two types are combined by electric attraction and the first and second encapsulation products are removed so as to obtain a composite material consisting of the fluid matrix containing the reactant(s) in homogeneous dispersion form, and products obtained according to this process.
