Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of printing an image to a substrate includes applying an aqueous inkjet ink onto an intermediate receiving member using an inkjet printhead, optionally spreading the ink onto the intermediate receiving member, inducing a property change of the ink, and transferring the ink to a substrate, wherein the ink includes a curable oligomer. A method of printing an image to a substrate includes applying an aqueous inkjet ink onto an intermediate receiving member using an inkjet printhead, optionally spreading the ink onto the intermediate receiving member, inducing a property change of the ink, and transferring the ink to a substrate, wherein making the ink includes forming an aqueous mixture by adding a mixture of oligomers and a surfactant to a reactor containing a mixture of a humectant and an aqueous vehicle, heating and stirring the aqueous mixture, and homogenizing the aqueous mixture, forming the ink.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of printing an image to a substrate comprising: applying an aqueous inkjet ink onto an intermediate receiving member using an inkjet printhead; optionally spreading the ink onto the intermediate receiving member; inducing a property change of the ink; and transferring the ink to a substrate, wherein: the ink comprises a curable oligomer, and further wherein oligomer loading in the ink is from about 3 to about 20 wt % based on a total weigh…
