Problems solved by technology

[0018] Corona discharge treatment and plasma treatment will increase the cost, complexity and maintenance of the equipment used to treat the substrate
The substrate may contain a large amount of impurities or irregularities, which may prevent the substrate from being handled and thus not obtain uniform spreading and adhesion of the ink

Embodiment 1

[0329] This example illustrates the effect on photoyellowing and adhesion of using a photoinitiator comprising a tertiary amine group in combination with a radiation curable composition comprising VEEA and TMPTA.

[0330] Preparation of Pigment Dispersion CPD1

[0331] Use DISPERLUX in a 6L container TM Disperser (from DISPERLUX S.A.R.L., Luxembourg) 500 g of polymeric dispersant DB162 and 33 g of polymerization inhibitor Genorad™ 16 were dissolved in 3870 g of DPGDA. Add 1000 g of cyan pigment PB15:4 to the solution and stir for 30 minutes. The vessel was then connected to a Bachofen DYNOMILL ECMPilot mill with an internal volume of 1.5 L, 42% filled with 0.4 mm yttrium stabilized zirconia beads ("High Abrasion Resistant Zirconia Grinding Media", from TOSOH Co.) . The mixture was circulated through the mill for 2 hours and 18 minutes at a flow rate of about 2 L per minute and a rotational speed of about 13 m / s in the mill. 1667 g of a 30% by weight DB162 / DPGDA solution ...

Embodiment 2

[0354] This example demonstrates that good adhesion on a broad range of substrates is obtained only when a photoinitiator comprising a tertiary amine group is used in combination with a radiation curable composition comprising a vinyl ether acrylate and a multifunctional acrylate.

[0355] Preparation of Pigment Dispersion CPD2

[0356] In a 50L container, 4200g polymeric dispersant S35000 and 420g polymerization inhibitor Genorad TM 16 was dissolved in 11680 g DPGDA. Add 8400g of cyan pigment PB15:4 to the solution and use DISPERLUX TM A disperser (from DISPERLUX S.A.R.L., Luxembourg) stirred for 10 minutes. The vessel was then connected to a Bachofen DYNOMILLECM POLY mill with an internal volume of 8.2 L, 42% filled with 0.4 mm yttrium stabilized zirconia beads ("High Abrasion Resistant Zirconia Grinding Media", from TOSOH Co.) . The mixture was circulated through the mill at a flow rate of about 10 L per minute and a rotational speed of about 15 m / s in the mill for 2...

Abstract

A radiation curable inkjet fluid including a radiation curable composition comprising at least 25 wt% of a vinylether acrylate and at least 15 wt% of a polymerizable compound comprising at least three acrylate groups, both based upon the total weight of the radiation curable composition; and a photoinitiator comprising a tertiary amine group and 0 to 3 wt% of isopropylthioxanthone based upon the total weight of the radiation curable inkjet fluid. An inkjet printing method is also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to radiation curable inkjet fluids and inks with reduced photoyellowing and improved adhesion. Background technique [0002] In inkjet printing, droplets of ink fluid are projected directly onto the ink-receiver surface without physical contact between the printing device and the ink-receiver. A printing device electronically stores printing data and controls the mechanisms that eject ink droplets in images. Printing is accomplished by moving the printhead across the ink-receiver, or vice versa, or both. [0003] When jetting an inkjet ink onto an ink-receiver, the ink typically contains a liquid carrier and one or more solids such as dyes or pigments and a polymer. Ink compositions can be roughly divided into: [0004] For water-based inks, the drying mechanism involves absorption, penetration and evaporation; [0005] For solvent-based inks, drying mainly involves evaporation; [0006] With oil-based inks, drying in...
