Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Described herein is a yellow liquid electrophotographic ink composition comprising: a thermoplastic resin comprising a polymer having acidic side groups; and a colorant comprising a yellow pigment, wherein the yellow pigment comprises a hydrazone compound. Also described herein is a method of producing a printed substrate using the yellow liquid electrophotographic ink composition and a printed substrate produced therefrom.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A yellow liquid electrophotographic ink composition comprising: a thermoplastic resin comprising a polymer having acidic side groups; and a colorant comprising a yellow pigment, wherein the yellow pigment comprises a hydrazone compound. 2 . The yellow liquid electrophotographic ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the yellow pigment consists of a hydrazone compound. 3 . The yellow liquid electrophotographic ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the yellow pigment comprises a hydrazone compound of Formula Ia: wherein R 1 to R 6 are each independently selected from a hydrogen atom, a C1 to C3 alkyl group, a C1 to C3 alkoxy group, a nitro group and a halogen group. 4 . The yellow liquid electrophotographic ink composition according to claim 3 , wherein at least one of R 1 to R 3 is a nitro group. 5 . The yellow liquid electrophotographic ink composition according to claim 4 , wherein a nitro group is para to the hydrazone group. 6 . The yellow liquid electrophotographic ink composition according to claim 3 , wherein at least one of R 1 to R 6 is a methoxy group. 7 . The yellow liquid electrophotographic ink composition according to claim 6 , wherein at least one of R 1 to R 3 is a nitro group. 8 . The yellow liquid electrophotographic ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the yellow pigment comprises a hydrazone compound of Formula II: 9 . The yellow liquid electrophotographic ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the colorant is present in an amount of up to about 30 wt. % of the non-volatile solids of the yellow liquid electrophotographic ink composition. 10 . The yellow liquid electrophotographic ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the colorant is present in an amount of from about 15 wt. % to about 35 wt. % of the non-volatile solids of the yellow liquid electrophotographic ink composition. 11 . The yellow liquid electrophotographic ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer having acidic side groups is a copolymer of an alkylene monomer and a monomer selected from acrylic acid and methacrylic acid. 12 . The yellow liquid electrophotographic ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein the yellow pigment consists of a hydrazone compound of formula II 13 . A printed substrate comprising a substrate; and a yellow liquid electrophotographically printed ink composition disposed thereon; wherein the yellow liquid electrophotographically printed ink composition comprises: a thermoplastic resin comprising a polymer having acidic side groups; and a colorant comprising a yellow pigment, wherein the yellow pigment comprises a hydrazone compound. 14 . The printed substrate according to claim 13 , wherein the colorant comprises a hydrazone compound of Formula Ia: wherein R 1 to R 6 are each independently selected from a hydrogen atom, a C1 to C3 alkyl group, a C1 to C3 alkoxy group, a nitro group and a halogen group. 15 . A method of producing a printed substrate comprising: applying a yellow liquid electrophotographic ink composition to a substrate with a liquid electrophotographic printer; wherein the yellow liquid electrophotographic ink composition comprises: a thermoplastic resin comprising a polymer having acidic side groups; and a colorant comprising a yellow pigment, wherein the yellow pigment comprises a hydrazone compound.
