Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for printing on non-porous surfaces a substrate with a solvent-containing inkjet ink.
- JP-A-078472 describes a transparent recording medium that is a printable having transparent coating.
- the transparent recording medium is through a light transmittance in the visible range of more than 80%.
- a method for producing waterproof marks on surfaces of plastic materials is disclosed in WO 99/18163. It will uses an ink containing a low-volatile solvent, which is largely absorbed by the plastic material.
- DE-A-3 721 651 is a method for printing plate-shaped information carrier with a Label information proposed. The method is essentially characterized that the label information by means of a data processing system is created.
- EP-A-413 442 describes an ink for marking plastic material, the composition of which comprises an organic solvent. The used solvent leads to a dissolution or swelling of the printing Plastic material.
- US-A-4 892 775 describes a substrate on which a "vinyl layer" is formed.
- the printing process uses an inkjet ink containing a special acrylic resin binder.
- glycol ethers is foreseen. They should essentially ensure that the evaporation of the solvent content is delayed. Colored or black non-porous surfaces with a white acrylic finish are not intended.
- the present invention solves this problem in that one with a white Acrylic lacquer coated with colored or black non-porous surface an inkjet ink containing a glycol ether as an acrylic paint-solubilizing component contains, which is coated with the white acrylic paint Substrate in the visible range a light transmission of less than 10% having.
- the essence of the invention is therefore that a colored or black non-porous surface is coated with a white acrylic paint.
- a solubilizing the paint on the non-porous surface of the substrate or swelling component is contained in the form of a glycol ether. This is generally the solvent of the inkjet ink as such.
- an additional component is contained in the inkjet ink, which contributes to the dissolution or swelling of the paint coating. It can For example, to alcohols, esters, ketones or chlorinated hydrocarbons act.
- paints are liquid or powdery solid substances applied to objects in a thin layer be or by chemical reaction and / or physical change form a solid film adhering to the objects, the decorative and / or has protective function.
- paints The main components of the paint are binders, solvents, pigments, fillers and paint aids.
- binders To DIN 55 945 (December 1988) are paints coating materials based on organic Binder.
- paints may be organic Solvent and / or water or be free of it.
- the paints are pigmented white, i. with the customary solvents, insoluble organic or inorganic pigments be, e.g. with titanium dioxide.
- the lacquer-coated substrate has a light transmittance of less than 10% in particular, it is opaque.
- each white lacquer layer applied is for the purposes of the present invention Invention not essential.
- the lacquer layer on the non-porous Surface a thickness of about 1 to about 500 .mu.m, in particular about 5 to 100 microns exhibit.
- an inkjet ink has been found suitable, which dissolves or swells when using a white acrylic paint, creating a good Fixation of the colorant causes on the substrate surface and a flow of the inkjet ink is prevented.
- the lacquer layer removes part of the solvent from the ink and thus reduces the drying time.
- the achieved resolution is significantly higher than when printing the free substrate surface.
- the nature of the substrate does not matter essential role.
- it is only crucial that the paint has a sufficient Has adhesion to the substrate. In particular, it is to substrates of glass, metal, ceramics, plastics or the like.
- Plastics are polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) and polypropylene (PB) preferred.
- PS polystyrene
- PVC polyvinyl chloride
- ABS acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer
- PB polypropylene
- a micrograph of the printed resist substrate shows the following. you recognizes that the drops do not flow into each other completely, but every single one Drop is still recognizable. The white areas in the middle of the ink drops emerge during the drying process. Their emergence may be due to a slight increase in the Drying time can be prevented.
- Example 1 was repeated with the same inkjet ink, but an uncoated ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) substrate printed. Although such a substrate is still relatively well, as well as its surface slightly from that contained in the inkjet ink Glycolethern is dissolved, the drops run much more together.
- ABS Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
