Abstract:
The present disclosure is drawn to primer compositions, which can include a polyvinyl alcohol, a cationic salt, and water. The polyvinyl alcohol can have a weight average molecular weight from about 50,000 Mw to about 250,000 Mw. The cationic salt can be present in an amount of at least 15 wt % of all dry components of the primer composition. The polyvinyl alcohol and cationic salt together can make up at least 30 wt % of all dry components of the primer composition.
Abstract:
A printable recording media containing a substrate and an ink receiving layer including an aqueous mixture of about 50 to about 99 wt % of an UV curable polyurethane dispersion and about 1 to about 50 wt % of a photo-initiator by total dry weight of said ink receiving layer. Also disclosed herein a method for making the printable recording media.
Abstract:
A printing system including a print engine, a drying module, and a heating module. The print engine applies printing fluid on media. The drying module dries the printing fluid and provides dried printing fluid. The heating module applies thermal energy to the dried printing fluid and transitions the dried printing fluid to a cured printing fluid that has improved durability versus the dried printing fluid.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is drawn to primer compositions which can include a binder including polyvinyl alcohol, starch nanoparticles, and a polymer latex dispersion. The primer competitions can also include a wax, a cationic salt, and water.
Abstract:
A post-printing treatment for printed media includes a wax suspended in water. Particles of the wax to lie upon at least an inkjet ink image on the printed media to facilitate abrasion resistance of the image.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides recording media and methods. In one example, a light weight media sheet for high speed printing can comprise a paper substrate having a basis weight of less than 100 gsm; a first flatness control layer applied directly to a first side of the paper substrate, the first flatness control layer having a coating weight from 1 to 15 gsm, wherein the first flatness control layer comprises a polymer selected from the group consisting of a polyvinyl alcohol, a polyamide, a polyimide, a polyethylene oxide, a polyvinyl pyrrolidone, a cellulose, a starch, an acrylate, copolymers thereof, and mixtures thereof; and a first ink-receiving layer applied directly to the first flatness control layer, the first ink-receiving layer having a coating weight from 1 to 40 gsm, where the light weight media sheet has a total basis weight from 40 to 150 gsm.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is drawn to primer compositions, which can include a polyvinyl alcohol, a cationic salt, and water. The polyvinyl alcohol can be present in an amount of at least 8 wt % of all dry components of the primer composition. The cationic salt can be present in an amount of at least 15 wt % of all dry components of the primer composition. The polyvinyl alcohol and cationic salt together can make up at least 30 wt % of all dry components of the primer composition.
