A hot melt ink comprising, a eutectic composition and an image-forming agent, wherein the melting point of the eutectic composition is from about 80 degrees C. to about 130 degrees C. and the compounds present in the eutectic compositions have melting points of at least about 100 degrees C. Also disclosed is a method for ink jet printing comprising: (a) providing a thermally reversible hot melt ink which is a solid at ambient temperature and a liquid at temperatures between about 80 degrees C.-130 degrees C., said ink comprising: (i) a eutectic composition; and (ii) an image-forming composition; (b) elevating the temperature of said eutectic composition to between about 90 degrees C. and about 140 degrees C., to cause said ink to form a liquid solution or suspension of said image-forming composition; (c) jetting said ink onto a substrate in the form of images; (d) allowing said ink to crystallize upon cooling on said substrate. |
