==Aqueous Ink Jet Ink Composition And Ink Jet Recording Method - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18497011 titled 'Aqueous Ink Jet Ink Composition And Ink Jet Recording Method

==Simplified Explanation==

The aqueous ink jet ink composition described in the patent application includes a coloring material, a water-soluble urethane resin, and an acetylene glycol-based surfactant with a HLB value of 6 or less. The surfactant content is at least 0.1% by mass relative to the total mass of the ink composition, and the ratio of the surfactant content to the urethane resin content is between 0.3 and 2.3.

* Coloring material, water-soluble urethane resin, and acetylene glycol-based surfactant are key components of the ink composition.
* The surfactant content must be at least 0.1% by mass, and the ratio of surfactant to urethane resin is between 0.3 and 2.3.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology can be used in various ink jet printing applications, such as printing on paper, textiles, and other materials.

== Problems Solved ==
The ink composition provides improved print quality, adhesion, and durability compared to conventional ink formulations.

== Benefits ==
The ink composition offers enhanced color vibrancy, water resistance, and compatibility with a wide range of substrates.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
The technology can be utilized in the production of high-quality printed materials for industries such as advertising, packaging, and textiles.

== Possible Prior Art ==
Prior art may include other aqueous ink compositions for ink jet printing that utilize surfactants and urethane resins, but may not specifically mention acetylene glycol-based surfactants.

=== What is the environmental impact of using this ink composition compared to traditional ink formulations? ===

Using this ink composition may have a lower environmental impact due to its water-based nature and potentially reduced use of harmful chemicals.

=== How does the cost of producing this ink composition compare to traditional ink formulations? ===

The cost of producing this ink composition may vary depending on the availability and cost of the raw materials used, but the potential benefits in terms of print quality and durability may justify any additional costs.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An aqueous ink jet ink composition includes a coloring material, a water-soluble urethane resin, and an acetylene glycol-based surfactant having a HLB value of 6 or less. The content A of the acetylene glycol-based surfactant relative to the total mass of the ink jet ink composition is 0.1% by mass or more, and the ratio (A/U) of the content A of the acetylene glycol-based surfactant to the content U of the water-soluble urethane resin is from 0.3 to 2.3.
