Abstract
The present invention relates to a material intended for forming images by inkjet printing having good stability to ozone and to light as well as a uniform surface, to obtain a high-quality printed image. The material comprises a support and at least one ink-receiving layer, wherein the ink-receiving layer comprises at least one carrageenan and at least one polymer comprising hydroxyl groups. Preferably, the carrageenan is selected from among the group comprising the κ-carrageenans, the ι-carrageenans or a combination of these compounds.
Claims14
A material intended for forming images by inkjet printing, comprising a support and at least one ink-receiving layer, wherein said ink-receiving layer comprises at least one polysaccharide and at least one polymer comprising hydroxyl groups.
A method of manufacturing a material intended for forming images by inkjet printing comprising:
- a) heating a composition intended to form the ink-receiving layer, wherein said composition comprises at least one carrageenan and at least one polymer comprising hydroxyl groups, to obtain a solution,
- a) coating said composition on a support,
- c) cooling the resulting material to obtain the thermoreversible gelation of the composition,
- d) drying the material.
