Abstract
An inkjet printing system contains an inkjet printer loaded with a recording element comprising a support and an ink receiving layer containing: a) fusible polymeric particles; and b) a water soluble block copolymer having ethylene oxide and propylene oxide segments, the copolymer exhibiting a Draves wetting coefficient, for a 0.1 wt % solution in water at 25° C., of not more than 360 seconds. An inkjet printing method and an inkjet recording medium are also contemplated.
Claims18
An inkjet printing system that contains an inkjet printer loaded with a recording element comprising a support and a porous ink receiving layer containing:
- a) fusible polymeric particles;
- and
- b) a water soluble block copolymer having ethylene oxide and propylene oxide segments, the copolymer exhibiting a Draves wetting coefficient, for a 0.1 wt % solution in water at 25° C., of not more than 360 seconds.
An inkjet recording medium comprising a support and a porous layer containing:
- a) fusible polymeric particles;
- and
- b) a water soluble block copolymer having ethylene oxide and propylene oxide segments, the copolymer exhibiting a Draves wetting coefficient for a 0.1 wt % solution in water at 25° C. of not more than 360 seconds.
A method for printing an inkjet image comprising:
- I) providing an aqueous inkjet ink;
- II) providing an inkjet recording element comprising a support and a fusible porous layer containing:
- a) fusible polymeric particles;
- and
- b) a water soluble block copolymer having ethylene oxide and propylene oxide segments, the copolymer exhibiting a Draves wetting coefficient for a 0.1 wt % solution in water at 25° C. of not more than 360 seconds;
- III) jetting the inkjet ink in the form of ink drops onto the fusible layer to form a printed image;
- and
