Abstract

An article and a method of making thereof. The article includes a polymeric film having a first major surface and a second major surface; and a plurality of discrete domains of an inkjet printing ink comprising a low adhesion backsize coating composition deposited on the first major surface of the polymeric film; wherein the low adhesion backsize coating composition has a viscosity between 1 to 30 cp at a printing temperature between 20 to 70 degrees Celsius.

First claim

1 . An article, comprising:
a polymeric film having a first major surface and a second major surface; and a plurality of discrete domains of an inkjet printing ink comprising a low adhesion backsize coating composition deposited on the first major surface of the polymeric film; wherein the low adhesion backsize coating composition has a viscosity between 1 to 30 cp at a printing temperature between 20 to 70 degrees Celsius.

2 . The article of claim 1 , wherein the low adhesion backsize coating composition comprises Mono(meth)acrylates, Di(meth)acrylates, aliphatic (meth)acrylates, fluorinated (meth)acrylates, Poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-diphenylsiloxane), divinyl terminated and/or Poly(dimethylsiloxane), mono(meth)acrylate terminated.

3 . The article of claim 1 , wherein the polymeric film comprises polyesters, polyolefins, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonates, polyacrylates, polyurethanes, and/or cellulosic.

4 . The article of claim 1 , wherein the polymeric film is a polyethylene terephthalate film.

5 . The article of claim 1 , wherein the low adhesion backsize coating composition is curable.

6 . The article of claim 1 , wherein the release force for the polymeric film with the inkjet printing ink is from 10 g/in to 1000 g/in.

7 . The article of claim 1 , wherein the average space between each domain of the inkjet printing ink is between 0 and 50 mils.

8 . The article of claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive on the second major surface of the polymeric film.

9 . The article of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of discrete domains of an inkjet printing ink cover 1% to 99% of the first major surface.

10 . A method, comprising:
providing a polymeric film having a first major surface and a second major surface; depositing an inkjet printing ink comprising a low adhesion backsize coating composition onto the first major surface of the polymeric film; and curing the inkjet printing ink to form a plurality of discrete domains of an inkjet printing ink.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the low adhesion backsize coating composition has a viscosity between 1 to 30 cp at a printing temperature between 20 to 70 degrees Celsius.

12 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising applying an adhesive onto the second major surface of the polymeric film.
