INKJET INK COMPOSITION INCLUDING LATEX POLYMERS

摘要

An inkjet ink composition includes latex polymer particles. The latex polymer particles are present in the ink composition in an amount ranging from about 0.5 wt % to about 40 wt %. The latex polymer particles have: a Tg ranging from about −40° C. to about 125° C.; and up to about 100% of total cross-linkable sites being present: on surfaces of the latex polymer particles; throughout a bulk of the latex polymer particles; or combinations thereof. The latex polymer particles are formed from monomers including at least one hydrophobic monomer, at least one acidic monomer, and at least one crosslinkable monomer, the at least one crosslinkable monomer including at least one keto group. The ink composition further includes at least one cross-linker compound selected from the group consisting of diamino compounds, polyamino compounds, and combinations thereof. Yet further, the ink composition includes at least one colorant and at least one aqueous solvent. The latex polymer particles are configured to form a crosslinked latex polymer film as and/or after the aqueous solvent is depleted from the latex polymer particles after the ink composition is applied by inkjet printing onto a medium.
