A solventless radiation curable stretchable ink composition comprising:
- an aliphatic urethane monomer or oligomer;
- an acrylic ester monomer;
- a photoinitiator;
- and
- an optional colorant;
- wherein the stretchable ink after curing has a tensile strength of at least 1.0 MPa and no more than 25 MPa.
A solventless radiation curable stretchable ink composition comprising:
- an aliphatic urethane monomer or oligomer;
- an acrylic ester monomer;
- a photoinitiator;
- and
- an optional colorant;
- having the characteristic that an image printed with the stretchable ink composition can be stretched in one axial direction to up to at least 110% along the length of its original dimension without exhibiting any visible cracks or delamination to the naked human eye.
