A black non-aqueous inkjet ink includes a colorant package including a black pigment; a polymeric dispersant; a phenol-formaldehyde resin; a C.sub.2 to C.sub.6 ester solvent; and a balance of a C.sub.1 to C.sub.5 alcohol solvent. The black pigment and the polymeric dispersant are present in a weight ratio ranging from about 1:0.4 to about 1:0.6. The phenol-formaldehyde resin is a C.sub.3 to C.sub.8 alkyl-modified phenol-formaldehyde resin.

A method and equipment to form a digital print by applying dry colourants on a surface of a panel, bonding a part of the colourants with a binder and removing the non-bonded colourants from the surface. The method of forming a digital print on a surface of a panel includes displacing the panel under a digital drop application head, applying a liquid binder with the digital drop application head on the surface; applying colourants on the liquid binder and the surface; bonding a part of the colourants to the surface with the liquid binder; removing non-bonded colourants from the surface such that a digital print is formed by the bonded colourants; and applying heat and pressure on the panel, the surface and the bonded colorants such that the colourants are permanently bonded to the surface.

A radiation curable inkjet ink including an adhesion promoter including (1) at least one a free radical polymerizable group selected from the group consisting of an acrylate, a methacrylate, an acryl amide and a methacryl amide; (2) at least one aliphatic tertiary amine; and (3) at least one carboxylic acid or salt thereof with the proviso that the carboxylic acid is linked to an aliphatic tertiary amine via a divalent linking group selected from the group consisting of an optionally substituted methylene group and an optionally substituted ethylene group.

An object of the present invention is to provide a nonaqueous ink composition offering excellent adhesion to printing media, rub resistance, and solvent resistance, even when printed on roll materials (acrylic, PET, etc.), board materials (glass, plastics, etc.), and other nonabsorbent media, even in a high-speed printing mode, while also exhibiting excellent discharge stability. As a solution, a nonaqueous ink composition containing a chlorinated polyolefin resin and a ketone resin is provided, wherein the chlorinated polyolefin resin and ketone resin together account for at least 10 percent by mass in the ink composition, the chlorine content in the chlorinated polyolefin resin is 30 to 50 percent by mass, and the chlorinated polyolefin resin and ketone resin are contained at a ratio by mass, calculated by “Chlorinated polyolefin resin/Ketone resin,” of 3/7 to 7/3.

A black ink composition for inkjet printing that contains a water-soluble organic solvent, a resin emulsion, a dispersing agent, and at least four types of sublimation dyes. At least three of the sublimation dye types are C.I. disperse yellow, C.I. disperse red, and C.I. disperse blue, and at least one of the sublimation dye types has a maximum absorption wavelength in the wavelength band of 640 nm to less than 680 nm as measured from a visible spectral absorption of a solution obtained by dissolving the dye in acetone. An ink set for inkjet printing that includes the black ink composition for inkjet printing, and a method for printing on hydrophobic fibers that uses the composition and the ink set.

A process for preparing an aqueous dispersion of pigment particles is described. The pigment particle contains a pigment and an aminoplast resin which surrounds or embeds the pigment. The process includes (i) a step of subjecting an aqueous suspension of a pigment in the form of coarse particles to milling so that the coarse particles are comminuted in the presence of a polymeric dispersant to a particle diameter d(v 0.9) of below 1500 nm, as determined by laser diffraction; and (ii) a step of polycondensation of an aminoplast pre-condensate in the aqueous suspension of the comminuted particles of the pigment obtained in step (i) or during the milling of step (i). The polycondensation is performed in the presence of an acid catalyst at pH of below 5.5. The aqueous dispersion obtained by the process and the use of the aqueous dispersion for tinting waterborne liquid coating composition are also described.

The present disclosure discloses a liquid electrophotographic ink. The ink can include (A) a liquid vehicle; (B) at least one colorant; (C) a resin comprising an ethylene acid copolymer; (D) an ethylene/(meth)acrylic acid C1-10 alkyl ester copolymer selected from the group consisting of an ethylene/methyl acrylate copolymer and an ethylene/butyl acrylate copolymer; and (E) a condensation product of urea and aldehyde.
