Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An aqueous latex ink includes a polymer latex having a particle size of less than about 100 nm. A method of making an aqueous latex ink includes emulsifying a polymer without the use of a surfactant to prepare a latex having a particle size of less than 100 nm. A method of printing an image on a substrate includes applying an aqueous latex ink to an intermediate receiving member using an inkjet printhead, 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 latex having a particle size of less than about 100 nm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An aqueous latex ink comprising a polymer latex having a particle size of less than about 100 nm, wherein no surfactants are used to produce the polymer latex. 2. The aqueous latex ink of claim 1 , wherein a viscosity of the ink is from about 3 to about 20 cps. 3. The aqueous latex ink of claim 1 , wherein a surface tension of the ink is from about 15 to about 50 dynes/cm. 4. The aqueous latex ink…
