SINGLE BATCH LATEX INK COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS

摘要

The present disclosure provides methods and composition directed towards a single batch latex ink-jet ink. In one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a single batch latex ink-jet ink can comprise emulsifying a pigment and a monomer in a solvent, and polymerizing the monomer with a reaction condition sufficient to encapsulate the pigment and sufficient to form individual latex particulates thereby forming a single batch latex ink-jet ink. The ink can contain less than about 0.5 wt % of latex particulates having a diameter of 50 nm or less, can contain about 1 wt % to about 10 wt % of latex particulates having a diameter of about 100 nm to about 250 nm and can contain about 3 wt % to about 5 wt % of encapsulated pigment.
