Melt-fusible ink-jet recording elements and inks

摘要

An ink jet ink/receiver combination comprising: a) an ink receiving layer on a support, the ink receiving layer containing polymeric thermoplastic particles, the polymeric particles having an average particle diameter ranging from 0.5 to 20 mu m. and a glass transition temperature between 40 DEG and 120 DEG C; and imagewise deposited thereon b) an ink jet ink containing a carrier, a pigment, and thermoplastic polymeric latex particles having a glass transition temperature between 30 DEG and 200 DEG C, and an average diameter between 10 and 1000 nm; wherein the polymeric particles in the ink receiving layer are the same or different from the polymeric particles in the ink.
