An example of a shipping and handling fluid for a three-dimensional (3D) printer is disclosed. The shipping and handling fluid includes a co-solvent, a first sugar alcohol, a second sugar alcohol, a surfactant, and a balance of water. The first sugar alcohol includes a ring structure, and the second sugar alcohol has a linear structure.

An example of an inkjet composition includes a colorant, a density modifier selected from the group consisting of a triiodo amino derivative of isophthalic acid, a mixture of polysucrose and sodium diatrizoate, colloidal silica particles coated with polyvinylpyrrolidone, and combinations thereof; and an aqueous vehicle. The inkjet composition may be inkjet printed on a substrate, using a thermal or piezoelectric printer.

The present invention relates to the use of coating compositions, comprising shaped transition metal, especially silver, particles and a binder, wherein the ratio of pigment to binder is preferably such that the resulting coating shows an angle dependent colour change, for the production of security elements and holograms. When the coating compositions of the present invention are used in coating a hologram the obtained products show a an angle dependent colour change (flip/flop effect), different colours in reflection and transmission, an extremely bright OVD image and extremely strong rainbow effect, high purity and contrast.

Graphene ink compositions comprising nitrocellulose and related methods of use comprising either thermal or photonic annealing.

The present invention provides a method for printing high opacity images or coatings using solvent based inks comprising hollow polymeric microspheres, wherein the inks do not contain titanium dioxide. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified titanium dioxide as “possibly carcinogenic to humans,” The method of the present invention allows one to avoid the use of inks that rely on titanium oxide for high opacity, which has become of importance for articles that come into contact with one's mouth, for example, cigarette tipping papers.

Alcohol-based, edible ink formulations comprising scalenohedral calcium carbonate particles are provided. The calcium carbonate particles can act as a white pigment to impart white color properties to the edible ink formulations. The edible ink formulations can be printed onto a variety of surfaces, including the surfaces of food products such as confectionery products and snack food products.

An example of a multi-fluid kit includes a pretreatment fluid, a fixer fluid, and a white inkjet ink. The pretreatment fluid includes anionically modified cellulose nanocrystals and a first aqueous vehicle. In some examples, the fixer fluid includes an azetidinium-containing polyamine and a second aqueous vehicle. The multi-fluid kit is suitable for use in inkjet textile printing.
