    Abstract: An ink including at least one first reactive component, at least one second component comprising a triggerable component, at least one third reactive component, and an optional colorant; wherein the at least one first reactive component and the at least one third reactive component are capable of reacting with one another to form a solid ink on a substrate; wherein the at least one first reactive component is encapsulated in a microcapsule; wherein the ink can be jetted onto a substrate and treated whereby the treatment causes the at least one triggerable component to trigger the rupture of the microcapsule thereby releasing the at least one first reactive component from the microcapsule so that the at least one first reactive component and the at least one third reactive component come into contact, react, and polymerize thereby curing the ink.
