PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electron beam curable ink to be used in an indirect printing process.SOLUTION: The electron beam curable ink comprises: a radiation curable material selected from a curable monomer, a curable oligomer, and mixtures thereof; and a surfactant; and the ink is partially cured to a viscosity of about 5,000 to about 1,000,000 cP prior to transferring from an intermediate transfer material to a final substrate. The curable monomer is selected from a methacrylate monomer, acrylate monomer, dimethacrylate monomer, diacrylate monomer, triacrylate monomer, and mixtures of these monomers; and the curable oligomer is selected from a diacrylate oligomer, aliphatic monoacrylate oligomer, aromatic monoacrylate oligomer, monofunctional acrylic oligomer, tetrafunctional acrylic oligomer, and mixtures of these oligomers. |
