The present invention provides an inkjet ink and a hiding layer coating agent that contain radical polymerizable components including a polyfunctional monomer that includes a high Tg polyfunctional monomer with a glass transition temperature Tg of not less than 40° C. at a ratio of not less than 30 mass % and a monofunctional monomer, a volatile solvent, and a photo-radical polymerization initiator, with a ratio of the monofunctional monomer being 5 to 70 mass % in the radical polymerizable components and a ratio of the volatile solvent being 50 to 400 mass % with respect to the radical polymerizable components and are excellent in dispersion stability due to not containing (excluding) a white pigment such as titanium oxide, etc., and enable printing of a white or colored character having a high hiding property equivalent to that in a case where the white pigment is contained.

An aqueous composition can be used for pre-treating a substrate prior to inkjet printing to provide a white opaque background for inkjet-printed images. This aqueous composition includes: (a) one or more water-soluble salts of a multivalent metal cation at 5-30 weight %; (b) a nonionic or cationic water-soluble or water-dispersible polymeric binder material at 5-30 weight %; and (c) surface-treated visible light-scattering particles having a D.sub.50 (median) particle size of at least 0.04 μm and up to and including 2 μm in an amount of 5-60 weight % based on the total aqueous composition weight. The pre-treated substrate is useful as an inkjet receiving medium that can be readily inkjet-printed particularly with anionically-stabilized aqueous pigment-based inks.

The present disclosure is drawn to a composite particulate build material, including 92 wt % to 99.5 wt % polymeric particles having an average size from 10 μm to 150 μm and an average aspect ratio of less than 2:1. The composite particulate build material further includes from 0.5 wt % to 8 wt % reinforcing particles having an average size of 0.1 ρm to 20 μm and an average aspect ratio of 3:1 to 100:1 applied to surfaces of the polymeric particles, wherein the reinforcing particles include mica or glass.
