METHODS FOR IMPROVING THE ADHESION AND/OR COLORFASTNESS OF INK JET INKS WITH RESPECT TO SUBSTRATES APPLIED THERETO, AND COMPOSITIONS USEFUL THEREFOR

摘要

In accordance with the present invention, it has been discovered that the adhesion properties and/or colorfastness of ink jet formulations when applied to a variety of substrates can be improved by adding a specific class of additives thereto. Invention formulations enable application of water-resistant (e.g., washable), colorfast images to a wide variety of substrates employing ink jet methodology.
