<p>PURPOSE: A curable solid ink composition is provided to ensure excellent viscosity in the range of less than 10 cPs at 90 deg.C, a shrinkage value of less than 3%, and a superior curing rate compared to existing curable solid ink compositions. CONSTITUTION: A radiation curable solid ink composition comprises: a curable component; a non-curable component comprising at least one ethoxylated octylphenol derivative; at least one photoinitiator; and a colorant, wherein the components form a curable ink composition that is a solid at a first temperature, and the components form a liquid composition at a second temperature, wherein the first temperature is from about 20 to about 25deg.C, and the second temperature is greater than about 40deg.C.</p> |
