Abstract:
Ink compositions include an amorphous component, a crystalline material, and optionally a colorant. The amorphous component exhibits improved thermal stability and improved distribution in ink preparations; an ink composition includes an amorphous component including a modified polyol and a crystalline component, the modified polyol includes a bio-renewable content of at least 35% by weight.
Abstract:
A phase change ink composition suitable for ink jet printing, including printing on coated paper substrates. In embodiments, the phase change ink composition comprises an amorphous compound and a crystalline compound which is derived from bio-renewable materials. The composition provides for a robust, rapid crystallization ink composition.
