Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved recording element for ink jet printing.
  • ink jet printing has become a technology of choice.
  • a recent survey on progress and trends in ink jet printing technology is given by Hue P. Le in Journal of Imaging Science and Technology Vol. 42 (1), Jan/Febr 1998.
  • tiny drops of ink fluid are projected directly onto an ink receptor surface without physical contact between the printing device and the receptor.
  • the printing device stores the printing data electronically and controls a mechanism for ejecting the drops image-wise. Printing is accomplished by moving the print head across the paper or vice versa.
  • Early patents on ink jet printers include US 3,739,393, US 3,805,273 and US 3,891,121.
  • the jetting of the ink droplets can be performed in several different ways.
  • a continuous droplet stream is created by applying a pressure wave pattern.
  • This process is known as continuous ink jet printing.
  • the droplet stream is divided into droplets that are electrostatically charged, deflected and recollected, and into droplets that remain uncharged, continue their way undeflected, and form the image.
  • the charged deflected stream forms the image and the uncharged undeflected jet is recollected.
  • several jets are deflected to a different degree and thus record the image (multideflection system).
  • the ink droplets can be created “on demand” (“DOD” or “drop on demand” method) whereby the printing device ejects the droplets only when they are used in imaging on a receiver thereby avoiding the complexity of drop charging, deflection hardware, and ink recollection.
  • DOD on demand
  • the ink droplet can be formed by means of a pressure wave created by a mechanical motion of a piezoelectric transducer (so-called “piezo method”), or by means of discrete thermal pushes (so-called “bubble jet” method, or “thermal jet” method).
  • Ink compositions for ink jet typically include following ingredients : dyes or pigments, water and/or organic solvents, humectants such as glycols, detergents, thickeners, polymeric binders, preservatives, etc.. It will be readily understood that the optimal composition of such an ink is dependent on the ink jetting method used and on the nature of the substrate to be printed.
  • the ink compositions can be roughly divided in :
  • the finished ink jet image is meant to be transparent, e.g. for use in overhead projection or for use in a medical diagnostic hardcopy, it is necessary to use a transparent polymeric film (which may contain a colorant depending on the application) as support for the ink jet recording element.
  • a well-known polymeric film for use as support in many fields of technology and especially in different types of image recording is a polyester, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN).
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • PEN polyethylene naphthalate
  • a problem when using such supports for ink receiving layers is the criticallity of the so-called "adhesion dry" property. This means that on further handling of the finished ink jet image, e.g.
  • the ink receiver layer tends to get loose from the polyester support.
  • the problem of the bad adhesion between the hydrophobic PET and the hydrophilic light-sensitive layer(s) is solved by providing the PET support with at least one and preferably two so-called subbing layers.
  • this measure did not solve completely the problem of insufficient "adhesion dry" when typical ink receiver compositions are coated on a polyester support.
  • the present invention seeks to remedy the problem of insufficient adhesion in dry state when subbed polyester is used as support for a typical ink receiver layer.
  • the above-mentioned desired advantageous effect is realised by providing an ink jet recording material comprising a subbed polyester support, and an ink receiver layer containing a cationic compound, characterized in that between said support and said ink receiver layer there is an additional adhesion promoting layer present comprising a binder and a cationically modified silica.
  • the support of the ink jet recording material used in accordance with the present invention is a transparent polyester support, e.g. a polyethylene terephthalate or polyethylene naphthalate support.
  • PET Polyethylene terephthalate
  • This support is coated on at least one side with a so-called subbing layer as is well known from photographic technology.
  • the polyester is subbed with two subbing layers, a so-called latex subbing layer and a so-called gelatin subbing layer.
  • An essential ingredient of the latex subbing layer is an adhesion promoting latex.
  • a preferred class of latex polymers for this purpose are vinylidene chloride-containing copolymers having carboxyl functional groups.
  • Illustrative of such polymers are (1) copolymers of vinylidene chloride and an unsaturated carboxylic acid such as acrylic or methacrylic acid, (2) copolymers of vinylidene chloride and a half ester of an unsaturated carboxylic acid such as the monomethylester of itaconic acid, (3) terpolymers of vinylidene chloride, itaconic acid and an alkyl acrylate or methacrylate such as ethyl acrylate or methyl methacrylate, and (4) terpolymers of vinylidene chloride, acrylonitrile or methacrylonitrile and an unsaturated carboxylic acid such as acrylic acid or methacrylic acid.
  • the latex polymer is co(vinylidene chloride-methyl acrylate-itaconic acid ; 88 % / 10 % / 2 %).
  • This copolymer is prepared by emulsion polymerization using 0.5 % MERSOLAT H (trade-mark of Bayer AG) as emulsifying agent. It is necessary to add extra surfactant, a so-called post-stabilizer, to the latex in order to assure a good stability on storage. An excellent storage stability is obtained when 4 % of ULTRAVON W, trade mark of Ciba-Geigy, or DOWFAX, trade mark of Dow, is used.
  • colloidal silica As a further preferred ingredient of the coating solution of the latex subbing layer colloidal silica may be added.
  • a preferred compound is KIESELSOL 100F (trade-mark of Bayer AG), average particle size 25-30 nm. The ratio of the amount of latex to silica is preferably about 80/20.
  • the latex subbing layer may further contain surfactants and biocides. As already stated above, there is preferably also a so-called gelatin subbing layer on top of the latex subbing layer. Typically, this gelatin subbing layer contains a mixture of gelatin and colloidal silica.
  • a preferred compound is again KIESELSOL 300F (trade-mark of Bayer AG).
  • a plasticizing compound can be used in order to avoid the formation of cracks in the dried layer due to the occurence of excessive shrinking of the layer during drying.
  • Plasticizing agents are well-known in the art.
  • Low-molecular weight compounds e.g. acetamide, glycerin
  • polymeric latices e.g. polyethylacrylate, poly-n.-butylacrylate
  • the gelatin subbing layer may contain one or more surfactants.
  • Useful surfactants include : ULTRAVONTM W, an aryl sulfonate from CIBA-GEIGY, DOWFAX from Dow CO., and ARKOPALTM N060 (previously HOSTAPALTM W), a nonylphenylpolyethylene-glycol from HOECHST.
  • the subbing layers may be present on just one side of the polyester support or they may also be present on the back side when the ink jet recording medium is provided with one or more backing layers, such as an anti-curl layer, or an electroconductive layer.
  • the binder can be chosen from a list of compounds well-known in the art including hydroxyethyl cellulose; hydroxypropyl cellulose; hydroxyethylmethyl cellulose; hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose; hydroxybutylmethyl cellulose; methyl cellulose; sodium carboxymethyl cellulose; sodium carboxymethylhydroxethyl cellulose; water soluble ethylhydroxyethyl cellulose; cellulose sulfate; polyvinyl alcohol; vinylalcohol copolymers; polyvinyl acetate; polyvinylacetal; polyvinyl pyrrolidone; polyacrylamide; acrylamide/acrylic acid copolymer; poly(styrene), styrene copolymers; acrylic or methacrylic polymers; styrene/
  • a preferred binder for the practice of the present invention is a polyvinylalcohol (PVA), a vinylalcohol copolymer or modified polyvinyl alcohol.
  • PVA polyvinylalcohol
  • the polyvinyl alcohol is a cationic type polyvinyl alcohol, such as the cationic polyvinyl alcohol grades from Kuraray, such as POVAL C506, POVAL C118, and from Nippon Goshei.
  • cationic polyvinyl alcohol may be obtained by several routes:

  • the silica, before cationic modification can be chosen from different types, such as crystalline silica, amorphous silica, precipitated silica, fumed silica, silica gel, spherical and non-spherical silica.
  • the silica may contain minor amounts of metal oxides from the group Al, Zr, Ti.

  • cationic inorganic pigment means a substance composed of fine particles having a positive charge on their surfaces and therefore having adsorbability of acid substances such as acid dyes.
  • Specific examples thereof include fine particles composed of oxides of metals such as magnesium, calcium, aluminum, zirconium, zinc, chromium, iron, copper, tin, lead and manganese.
  • Those having a negative charge on their surfaces like silica may also be used if they are surface-treated to change the negative charge on the surface to a positive charge (as already explained above for the silica in the adhesion promoting layer).
  • the cationic substance is chosen from crystalline boehmite, or ⁇ -AlO(OH), and cationized silica, and mixtures thereof.
