Abstract
A personal care product, for example a diaper, that includes a surface upon which is disposed graphics, wherein the graphics comprise an ink composition applied to the substrate at a temperature and further comprises a layer that comprises a hotmelt composition that is applied over the graphics at a temperature that is greater than the temperature that the graphics were applied is provided.
Claims20
A personal care product comprising a substrate having a surface upon which is disposed graphics, wherein the graphics comprise an ink composition wherein the ink composition is applied to the substrate at a temperature Ti wherein the substrate further comprises a layer that comprises a hotmelt composition that is applied over the graphics at a temperature T that is greater than or equal to Ti.
A method of printing on a substrate, the method of printing comprising:
- a. providing a substrate,
- b. heating an ink composition to a temperature Ti,
- c. depositing the ink composition on a portion of the substrate,
- d. heating a second composition to a temperature T that is greater than or equal to Ti, and
- e. depositing the second composition over the portion of the substrate that includes the ink composition.
A method of creating high-speed multi-color process images, said method comprising:
- providing at least two high operating frequency printheads, said high operating frequency printheads being capable of processing phase-change inks;
- providing at least two phase-change inks;
- providing a substrate;
- activating the printheads such that at least two inks pass there through;
- passing the substrate under the printheads at a rate of at least about 1000 feet per minute;
- forming an image on the substrate;
- and
- depositing a second composition over the image.
