Abstract
Ink jet printing on a non-absorbent substrate involves a wet primer having a primer viscosity. The wet primer is applied on the non-absorbent substrate. An ink jet ink having an ink jet viscosity lower than the primer viscosity is jetted over the wet primer while the primer is still wet. The wet primer and ink are simultaneously cured on the substrate.
Claims11
A method of ink jet printing on a non-absorbent substrate, comprising the steps of:
- applying a wet primer having a primer viscosity onto a metallic substrate;
- jetting an ink jet ink onto the wet primer, wherein the ink jet ink has a viscosity that is lower than the primer viscosity;
- and
- simultaneously curing the primer and the ink jet ink.
