<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide solid inks that retain the advantages of handling, safety, and print quality, but provide additional breakthrough performance characteristics such as enhanced curing and robustness, lower jetting temperature, and ultra-low shrinkage upon crystallization, and which allow the inks to be used as novel materials in inkjet-based print applications. <P>SOLUTION: The curable solid ink comprises: a curable wax; one or more monomers; an optional colorant; an amide gellant; and a photoinitiator. The curable solid inks and low shrinkage curable solid inks are solid at room temperature but are molten at an elevated temperature at which the molten ink is applied to a substrate. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
