Claims20
A curable ink composition comprising:
- one or more oil soluble component, and
- one or more thermal solvent,
- wherein the oil soluble component is curable by radiation having wavelengths in the range of from about 4 nanometers to about 500 nanometers.
A method of preparing a curable ink composition, comprising
- dissolving one or more initiator in one or more oil soluble component to form a solution;
- agitating the solution;
- adding one or more thermal solvent to the solution;
- and
- heating the solution including the one or more thermal solvent to melt and dissolve the thermal solvent;
- wherein the oil soluble component is curable by radiation having wavelengths in the range of from about 4 nanometers to about 500 nanometers.

A method of jet printing comprising:
- jetting an ink composition onto an intermediate substrate to form an intermediate image;
- transferring the intermediate image onto a substrate to form a transferred image;
- and
- exposing the transferred image to radiation having wavelengths in the range of from about 4 nanometers to about 500 nanometers;
- wherein the ink composition comprises one or more oil soluble component curable by radiation having wavelengths in the range of from about 4 nanometers to about 500 nanometers, and one or more thermal solvents.
