A polyamide coating slurry and its preparing method, and a process for preparing polyamide-coated fabric for printing are provided. The present disclosure provides a polyamide coating slurry for precise inkjet printing with wide applicability simple preparation steps. The surface structure and lipophilicity of the coating can be changed by mixing polyvinyl butyral and polyoxypropylene lauryl ether, urea and poly-N-isopropylacrylamide in polyamide 6, so that the adsorption properties and permeability of the coating to ink are greatly improved, and thus high-precision inkjet printing can be realized.

In the present invention, there is provided a use of 1,1,1-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane in a composition in the formation of an image on a substrate having said composition applied thereon, wherein the image is formed upon exposure of the composition to NIR or IR radiation, and wherein the image is capable of being retained on the substrate for at least 1 day under conditions of at least 50% relative humidity. The present invention is further directed towards compositions comprising 1,1,1-tris(4-hydroxyphenly)ethane, in addition to substrates, methods of forming an image and printing processes comprising said compositions.

Described herein are opaque water-based inks that include water and an opacity-providing polymer component. In one aspect, the opacity providing polymer component is a hollow sphere polymer material. The opacity-providing polymer material may replace all or part of white opacifying pigment material, such as titanium dioxide. Also described herein is a method of opacifying a printing ink by adding hollow sphere resin particles and a colorant to a printing ink that comprises water as a volatile component.

Some embodiments relate to an electrophoretic ink including particles that may have a negative charge, dispersed in a non-polar organic solvent. The ink includes a trialkylamine charge-control agent, selected from the following charge-control agents: tributylamine, triisobutylamine, tripentylamine, trihexylamine, tri(2-ethylhexyl)amine, trioctylamine, triisooctylamine, tridodecylamine, triisododecylamine. The particles have a hydrophobic surface and an isoelectric point (IEP) or a point of zero charge (PZC) that is lower than the pKa of the charge-control agent.
