Ink compositions for inkjet printing are disclosed. The ink compositions comprise a pigment, a binder system, a solvent system, and an epoxy resin. The ink compositions have improved drying time from the time of printing to the time of lamination with an overlaminate film as compared to existing inkjet ink compositions.
