Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Pigment based particles in powder form intended to be used as colorants in a digital print formed by applying dry colorants on a surface, bonding a part of the colorants with a binder and removing the non-bonded colorants from the surface. A panel with a surface including a digitally formed print of macro colorants including a particle body and color pigments attached to the surface of the particle body is also described. The colorants are arranged in patterns with pigments on an upper and lower surface of the particle body.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. Dry ink comprising macro colourant particles for bonding to a liquid print applied on a surface by a digital drop application head, wherein the macro colourant particles each comprise: a particle body, a dry resin bonded to the particle body, and colour pigments bonded to the particle body, wherein the dry resin is adapted to melt when the macro colourant is in contact with the liquid print and to bond the macro colourant to the surface.…
