INKJET INK AND INJKET INK PRODUCTION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18516918 titled 'INKJET INK AND INJKET INK PRODUCTION METHOD

Simplified Explanation

An inkjet ink composition with specific resin and pigment particle ratios

  • Contains pigment particles and an aqueous medium
  • Pigment particles consist of pigment and resin with a mass ratio of resin to pigment between 1.40 and 3.10
  • Resin includes a polyester resin
  • Does not contain free resin dispersed in the aqueous medium, or if it does, it is at a very low percentage (0.00% to 3.00% by mass)

Potential Applications

The inkjet ink composition could be used in various printing applications such as digital printing, textile printing, and packaging.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the issue of clogging in inkjet printers by providing a stable ink composition with the right balance of resin and pigment particles.

Benefits

  • Improved print quality
  • Reduced clogging in inkjet printers
  • Enhanced color vibrancy

Potential Commercial Applications

"Optimized Inkjet Ink Composition for High-Quality Printing"

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include other inkjet ink compositions with different resin to pigment ratios or compositions that do not address the issue of clogging in inkjet printers.

Original Abstract Submitted

An inkjet ink contains pigment particles and an aqueous medium. The pigment particles contain a pigment and a resin. The resin has a mass ratio to the pigment in the pigment particles of at least 1.40 and no greater than 3.10. The resin includes a polyester resin. The inkjet ink does not contain free resin dispersed in the aqueous medium or contains the free resin at a rate to the total amount of the free resin and the resin contained in the pigment particles of greater than 0.00% by mass and no greater than 3.00% by mass.
