Embodiment 1

[0091] A mixture was prepared comprising 70 parts of composition A, 30 parts of composition C (made with AIRFLEX 426 as binder), 25 parts of water and 0.7 parts of ZONYL FSN.

[0092] The ink receptive composition was applied to passport paper (available from Jon. Enschede en Zohnen Grafishe Inrichting B.V., Haarlem, The Netherlands) using a #22 Mayer rod (available from R D Specialties, Webster, NY, USA, nominal wet thickness 0.050 mm) , and then dried in an oven at 110°C. Security features on passport paper (e.g. pre-printed graphics, watermarks, UV fluorescent fibers) are clearly visible through the coating.

[0093] Then, an EPSON STYLUS COLOR 850 inkjet ink loaded with a pigment / dye mixture (cartridges ARC-S020108 (black) and ARC-S020089 (color), available from MIS Associates Inc., Lake Orion, MI, USA) was used to spray An ink printer (available from U.S. Epson Inc., Torrance, CA, USA) was used to image the material. The resulting image exhibited high color density and ...

Embodiment 2

[0098] An ink receiving composition was prepared as described in Example 1 except that 65 parts of Composition A and 35 parts of Composition C were used. The ink receiving composition was applied, printed and laminated as described in Example 1. After application, as described in Example 1, the security features on the passport paper are easily visible through the coating. The printed image quality was similar to that of Example 1.

[0099] When attempting to separate the laminate from the image under ambient conditions, the passport paper tore, indicating that the interfacial adhesion between the paper, coating and laminate was greater than the internal strength of the paper.

[0100] A laminated sample was placed in environments with relative humidity of 66°C / 98% relative humidity, 32°C / 90% relative humidity and 66°C / ambient humidity for 11 days. Different environmental conditions did not significantly change the image quality. At 32°C / 90% relative humidity, the force req...

Embodiment 3

[0102] An ink receiving composition was prepared as described in Example 1 except that 75 parts of Composition A and 25 parts of Composition C were used. The ink receiving composition was applied, printed and laminated as described in Example 1. After application, as described in Example 1, the security features on the passport paper are easily visible through the coating. The printed image quality was similar to that of Example 1.

[0103] When attempting to separate the laminate from the image under ambient conditions, the passport paper tore, indicating that the interfacial adhesion between the paper, coating and laminate was greater than the internal strength of the paper.

[0104] A laminated sample was placed in environments with relative humidity of 66°C / 98% relative humidity, 32°C / 90% relative humidity and 66°C / ambient humidity for 11 days.

[0105] Different environmental conditions did not significantly change the image quality. At 32°C / 90% relative humidity, slig...

Abstract

An ink receptive media suitable for use in a passport is disclosed. A media in accordance with the present invention comprises a substrate, and an image receptive layer comprising a plurality of particles. In a preferred embodiment, the image receptive layer comprises a plurality of crosslinked poly(vinylpyrrolidone) particles.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates generally to inkjet printable media. More specifically, the present invention relates to a security document such as a passport. Background of the invention [0002] There are many security documents that include a paper base sheet. Examples of security documents comprising a paper substrate include certificates (such as stock certificates), negotiable securities (such as checks), passports and visas. A passport generally consists of one or more sheets of paper. The passport holder's photo is usually placed on paper and laminated in place with a clear polymer film. A disadvantage of this construction is that the photo lifts off the paper and can be carefully removed by a skilled forger and replaced with a different photo. [0003] Passport holders often complain about unsatisfactory photos. The complaint was widely circulated, and both humorists and actors took advantage of the subject matter. For example, a humor...
