Abstract
A solvent-based dye sublimation ink composition includes specific chemical formulations of production agents for its manufacture in several colors. The sublimation ink composition includes a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, a polymeric amide, 2-methoxy-1-methylethyl acetate, N-butyl acetate, butan-2-OL, petroleum distillate, disperse and/or solvent dyes, propylene glycol and one or more acetates. Once produced, the solvent-based dye sublimation ink of the present invention may be used with ink jet printers and prevents or minimizes paper cockling while exhibiting outstanding stability and high print density capabilities.
Claims26
A solvent-based dye sublimation ink composition specifically for use with ink jet printers, consisting of:
- at least one vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer;
- at least one of an ether and at least one acetate;
- and
- at least one sublimable disperse dye, wherein the sublimable disperse dye is insoluble in the at least one of an ether and at least one acetate, the solvent-based dye sublimation ink composition being flowable through a head of an ink jet printer.
