A porous substrate for organic solvent-based ink printing may be coated with a repellant composition to form a coated substrate surface that is suitable for high quality solvent-based ink jet printing. The coated substrate surface may exhibit a repellancy for butoxyethyl acetate solvent at a contact angle of between about 40 and about 90 degrees at ambient temperature. In some applications, the repellant composition includes a fluorocarbon polymer, or a urethane. Solvent-based ink applied to the porous substrate will form droplets which under the application of heat deposit ink in a controlled and advantageous manner upon the treated substrate surface. An optional acrylate-based latex material may be employed in the repellant composition. A printed substrate is produced which exhibits clear, sharp and high quality print.
An ink jet printing substrate upon which organic solvent-based textile printing is conducted using an organic solvent-based ink jet printing system, wherein said substrate is porous, said substrate comprising a repellant composition coated upon said substrate to form a coated substrate surface, said coated substrate surface having a repellancy for butoxyethyl acetate at a contact angle of between about 40 and about 90 degrees at ambient temperature.
An ink jet printed article comprising:
An ink jet printing substrate adapted for solvent-based ink jet printing, said substrate having an outer surface configured for receiving solvent-based ink, said substrate comprising a hydrophobic repellant composition affixed to said outer surface, said hydrophobic repellant composition comprising a fluorocarbon-containing polymer, said outer surface of said substrate further providing a repellancy as measured with butoxyethyl acetate at a contact angle of about 70-85 degrees at ambient temperature.
A coating composition for solvent-based ink jet recording media comprising:
