Printing on liquid medium using liquid ink

摘要

Ink jet printing on a liquid medium can be performed using liquid inks having a thermo inversion gelling property. The liquid ink can include a hyperthermogelling component having a gelling temperature. When the liquid ink is jetted on the liquid medium, the liquid ink can gel to form gel dots. The gel dots can resist against liquid dispersion, allowing the formation of a high resolution image on the liquid medium.
