Inkjet ink containing sub 100 nm latexes

摘要

An aqueous latex ink includes a polymer latex having a particle size of less than about 100 nm. A method of making an aqueous latex ink includes emulsifying a polymer without the use of a surfactant to prepare a latex having a particle size of less than 100 nm. A method of printing an image on a substrate includes applying an aqueous latex ink to an intermediate receiving member using an inkjet printhead, spreading the ink onto the intermediate receiving member, inducing a property change of the ink, and transferring the ink to a substrate, wherein the ink comprises a latex having a particle size of less than about 100 nm.
