Definitions
- Ink jet printing is a non-contact method by which droplets of ink are ejected through a fine nozzle onto a substrate.
- ink jet printing There are many demanding performance requirements for inks used in ink jet printing. For example they should provide sharp, non-feathered images having good water, solvent- light- and ozone fastness, attractive colour and high optical density.
- Further desirable properties for ink jet printing inks include a fast dry time (to facilitate high-speed printing), a low viscosity to enable the inks to be used in a wide range of ink jet printers, excellent mechanical resistance (to avoid the prints being rubbed off), low curl and good adhesion to a range of substrates.
- organic solvents are included in ink jet printing inks to lower their viscosity.
