20120314000 | PRE-TREATMENT COMPOSITIONS FOR INKJET PRINTING - The present disclosure provides for a pre-treatment composition for inkjet printing, comprising: a liquid vehicle, a fixing agent, a non-ionic defoaming surfactant, a surface tension reducing surfactant, and a latex resin having an acid number of less than 20. | 12-13-2012 |
20130034656 | PRE-TREATMENT COMPOSITION - Pre-treatment composition and printing method for printing durable images using such pre-treatment composition are disclosed. A disclosed example of the pre-treatment composition includes a liquid vehicle, a polyvalent metal salt, a latex resin and thickener. Moreover, a printing method is also disclosed with an ink composition comprising of an aqueous liquid vehicle and a colorant after pre-treatment with said pre-treatment composition. | 02-07-2013 |
20130044157 | PRINTING METHOD AND PRE-TREATMENT COMPOSITION - Pre-treatment composition and printing method, for producing durable images, using it are disclosed. Said pre-treatment composition includes a liquid vehicle, a polyvalent metal salt as fixing agent, and a latex resin having a glass transition temperature (Tg) ranging from −22° C. to 20° C. Said method encompasses applying the pre-treatment composition onto a recording medium and applying an ink composition including an aqueous liquid vehicle and a colorant, over said pre-treatment composition, wherein the time interval between the finishing point of the application of the pre-treatment composition and between the starting point of the application of the ink composition is between 1 and 30 seconds. | 02-21-2013 |
20130057637 | PATTERNING OF COATED PRINTED MEDIA - A pattern is provided in coated printed media by flood coating a printed media with an overcoat material that hardens to form an overcoat coating and by controllably removing a portion of the overcoat coating from the printed media in a predetermined region with laser ablation. The printed media in the ablated region remains substantially intact. The ablated predetermined region provides the pattern in the coated printed media | 03-07-2013 |
20130076842 | PRE-TREATMENT COMPOSITION - Pre-treatment composition and printing method using such pre-treatment composition are disclosed. A disclosed example of the pre-treatment composition includes a liquid vehicle, a polyvalent metal salt as fixing agent, and a latex resin having an acid number of less than 20. | 03-28-2013 |
20130156953 | PRETREATMENT FLUIDS WITH ASSOCIATIVE THICKER FOR PRINTING MEDIA - A pretreatment fluid for printing media with a pigment ink composition includes a liquid vehicle, at least one polymeric binder selected from the group consisting of acrylic polymers, acrylic copolymers, polyurethanes, salts thereof, and/or combinations thereof; and an associative thickener. The pretreatment fluid has a viscosity of about 10 cps to about 1000 cps and a surface tension of about 16 dynes/cm to about 30 dynes/cm. | 06-20-2013 |
20140204158 | PRINTING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A printing system includes a media transport device to move a medium at a speed ranging from about 15.24 mpm to about 609.6 mpm. The system includes an ink applicator to apply ink on the medium, and a treatment applicator to apply a treatment composition (including liquid vehicle, polyvalent metal salt fixing agent, and latex resin having an acid number less than 20) before or after the ink is applied, to form a printed-on medium. The system further includes a heating system programmed to: i) dry the printed-on medium at a predetermined temperature for a reduced dwell time (from about 1 second to about 40 seconds); and ii) leave residual moisture in the printed-on medium for a predetermined time after the reduced dwell time. The residual moisture is at a level that is higher than an initial moisture content of the medium prior to treatment composition and ink application. | 07-24-2014 |
20140308447 | PRETREATMENT FLUIDS WITH AMMONIUM METAL CHELATE CROSS-LINKER FOR PRINTING MEDIA - A pretreatment fluid for printing media with a pigment ink composition includes a liquid vehicle, at least one polymeric binder having pendant carboxyl groups, and an ammonium metal chelate cross-linker. | 10-16-2014 |
20140362137 | INK SET - The present disclosure provides ink sets and related methods. An ink set can comprise an ink including an ink colorant and an ink vehicle, the ink devoid of metal salt; a treatment fluid including a latex, the treatment fluid devoid of thickener and colorant; and a fixer fluid including a precipitating agent, the fixer fluid devoid of colorant. | 12-11-2014 |
