Abstract:
Color images with high fixation comparable to that of silver salt photographic images are formed on printing papers, using aqueous ink compositions by ink jet recording. Color images thus formed have high saturation and high resolution. An intercalated compound capable of fixing water-soluble dyes to a printing paper due to the intercalation based on ion-exchanging between them is incorporated into the dye-receiving layer (2) of the paper, on which color images are formed by ink jet recording using an aqueous ink composition containing a water-soluble dye. The content of the intercalated compound in the layer (2) is from 10 to 90 % by weight. As the intercalated compound, montmorillonoids are preferred when water-soluble cationic dyes are used while hydrotalcite-group minerals are preferred when water-soluble anionic dyes are used.
Abstract:
A water-base ink fixing composition for use in fixing a water-base image. The composition contains a clay interlayer compound and an ion exchanger such as an ion exchange resin. It may contain a water absorbing resin and a thermally fusible resin as a binder. A thermally transferred image covering film is formed by removably forming on a substrate a water-base ink fixing layer consisting of the water-base ink fixing composition. A binder layer or a layer of a thermally fusible resin may be formed on a water-base ink fixed layer. A thermally transferred image covering film is formed by laminating any one of a water-base ink fixing layer, a binder layer and a layer of a thermally fusible resin on a thermally transferred image or a protective layer-carrying thermally transferred image in an opposed state and thermally pressing them against each other, whereby the water-base ink fixing layer is transfer-laminated.
Abstract:
In a recording medium for a printer having a dye fixation layer mainly composed of an interlayer compound for receiving and holding a water-soluble dye by an intercalation reaction, and a binder, the ink is to be improved in ink absorption, fixation, water-proofness and bleeding characteristics to enable image formation to a high resolution. A dye fixation layer 3, mainly composed of an interlayer compound for fixing and holding the water-soluble dye by the intercalation reaction derived from the ion exchange action and the binder is formed as an outermost layer on a substrate 2. The binder of the dye fixation layer 3 contains the urethanated polyvinyl alcohol resin having an urethanation ratio of 1 to 20 mol%.

Abstract:
A novel display material is disclosed, which comprises a material layer containing a dye and a supporting electrolyte. The material layer is capable of solid-liquid transformation. The coloration and discoloration of the layer are effected by oxidation reduction reaction of the dye by applying current to the material layer in liquefied state. The display material may be used as electrochromic display and thermosensitive recording paper.
