Abstract
A 100% solids energy curable liquid primer coating is provided for use on a variety of substrates which cures to form a coating that provides good ink adhesion and high print quality when printed using an electrophotographic printing device. The coating includes a polyester acrylate, at least one acrylated amine, and optionally, a photoinitiator.
Claims19
A 100% solids energy curable liquid primer coating for enhancing ink adhesion to a substrate comprising a polyester acrylate, at least one acrylated amine, and optionally, a photoinitiator;
- wherein said coating provides improved ink adhesion on a substrate when printed with an electrophotographic printer in comparison with an uncoated substrate.
A 100% solids energy curable liquid primer coating for enhancing ink adhesion to a substrate comprising:
- a) from about 35 to about 65% by weight of a polyester acrylate;
- b) from about 20 to about 60% by weight of at least one acrylated amine;
- c) from 0 to about 10% by weight of an acrylate monomer;
- and
- d) from about 1 to about 15% by weight of a photoinitiator.
A method of applying a 100% solids energy curable liquid primer coating for enhancing ink adhesion to a substrate comprising:
- providing a substrate having first and second major surfaces;
- applying a 100% solids energy curable liquid primer coating to at least one of said first and second major surfaces of said substrate;
- said coating comprising a polyester acrylate, at least one acrylated amine, and optionally, a photoinitiator;
- exposing said coating composition to radiation sufficient to cure said coating composition and form a coated substrate.
A coated substrate, said substrate having first and second major surfaces, with at least one of said major surfaces having coated thereon a cured 100% solids primer coating comprising a polyester acrylate, at least one acrylated amine, and optionally, a photoinitiator.
