Ink printing method utilizing stabilized polymeric particles

摘要

The present invention discloses an ink printing method using an image-recording element which provides an image having excellent image quality and superior dry time comprising the steps of: a) providing an ink image-recording clement comprising a support having thereon at least one image-receiving layer comprising polymeric particles in a polymeric binder, wherein said polymeric particle is stabilized by a hydrophobically-capped oligomeric acrylamide dispersant; and b) applying liquid ink droplets thereon in an image-wise manner.
A further embodiment of the disclosed method comprises the steps of: a) providing an ink printer that is responsive to digital data signals b) loading said printer with an image-recording element comprising a support having thereon at least one image-receiving layer comprising polymeric particles in a polymeric binder, wherein said polymeric particle is stabilized by a hydrophobically-capped oligomeric acrylamide dispersant; c) loading said printer with an ink composition; and d) printing on said image-recording element using said ink composition in response to said digital data signals.
