Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an ink jet recording medium having an ink-receptive coating comprising two layers.
  • the coating is prepared from aqueous-based solutions.
  • the under layer comprises a blend of poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) and hydrophilic, water-insoluble polyurethane, and the upper layer comprises a blend of polysaccharide and water-insoluble polymer.
  • Ink jet printing devices must be capable of recording multicolor images and text on media such as papers and films for many different applications.
  • ink jet recording media are used for overhead transparencies, engineering drawings, and large and small graphic art displays.
  • Some ink jet recording media are coated with ink-receptive compositions containing water-soluble polymers.
  • ink-receptive compositions containing water-soluble polymers are coated with ink-receptive compositions containing water-soluble polymers.
  • most inks used in ink jet printing devices consist of molecular dyes carried in an aqueous-based ink vehicle.
  • aqueous-based ink vehicle it is meant a fluid containing a substantial amount of water. Water-miscible solvents and trace amounts of high-boiling solvents such as glycol or glycol ethers may also be present in the fluid.
  • Pigmented inks comprise a pigmented colorant carried in an aqueous-based ink vehicle. Unlike molecular dyes, pigmented colorants generally bind to the surface of the recording medium. Since some ink jet recording media are coated with ink-receptive compositions containing water-soluble polymers, which are extremely water-absorptive, a problem may arise when pigmented inks are used on such media. During imaging, the pigmented colorants generally accumulate on the surface of such media, while the aqueous-based ink vehicle is absorbed, resulting in expansion of the ink-receptive coating. This expansion may cause pigmented ink cracks to appear in the final image.
  • ink jet recording media Another problem with ink jet recording media is that the ink-receptive coating must have sufficient thickness to absorb the aqueous-based ink vehicle. As the thickness of the ink-receptive coating is increased, making it more water-absorptive and dimensionally-stable, the media tends to curl upwards along its edges. Previous attempts have been made at developing suitable ink-receptive coatings for ink jet media.

  • U.S. Patent 4,935,307 discloses a hydrophilic polymer blend which provides improved durability and reduced curl when used as an image-receptive layer on graphic arts film.
