A machine that automatically performs select tests on candles includes a pedestal onto which a candle is positioned. The machine also includes cameras, focused on the candle, to collect thermal emission and visual data resulting from a 'candle burn'. The machine is used in a “candle burn” test method.

Candle combustion testing apparatus

An inkjet printing system, comprises an inkjet printer, an ink composition, and an inkjet recording media comprising a support, and coated on the support in order from the support, a porous base layer and a porous uppermost layer, each with particular limitations The inkjet recording media and printer system is manufacturable using low-cost materials in an efficient process requiring only a single coating and drying step and that gives images with excellent gloss, color density, and image quality.

Inkjet recording media with cationically-modified clay particles

An inkjet printing system, comprises an inkjet printer, an ink composition, and an inkjet recording media comprising a support, and coated on the support in order from the support, a porous base layer, a porous intermediate layer, and a porous uppermost layer, each with particular limitations. The inkjet recording media and printer system is manufacturable using low-cost materials in an efficient process requiring only a single coating and drying step and that gives images with excellent gloss, color density and image quality.

A method of printing on an inkjet recording element having a support having thereon in order: a) a porous upper fusible layer of fusible polymeric materials and a binder, b) a porous ink-receiving layer in which pigmented ink is stratified such that, after fusing the printed element, greater than 50% of the printed pigment colorant particles in the inkjet ink composition is retained in the bottom half of the upper porous fusible layer.

Inkjet print and a method of printing

The invention relates generally to the field of inkjet recording media and inkjet printing methods. More specifically, the invention relates to a porous base layer of an inkjet recording element, the base layer comprising precipitated calcium carbonate having scalenohedral morphology.

Inkjet recording media comprising precipitated calcium carbonate

An inkjet recording element comprising a porous ink-receiving layer having interconnecting voids is disclosed in which an upper surface of the ink-receiving layer has been subjected to plasma treatment, and wherein the upper surface of the ink-receiving layer, prior to the plasma treatment, has a measured carbon elemental content of at least 40 percent. The invention can provide increased dot spread.

Plasma treatment of porous inkjet receivers

An inkjet recording element comprising an ink-permeable microvoided substrate comprising a porous ink-receiving layer over and adjacent to an ink-permeable microvoided substrate layer comprising, in a polyester continuous phase, a polyester ionomer, wherein the microvoided substrate layer and the porous ink-receiving layer both having interconnecting voids. Also disclosed is an inkjet printing process, comprising the step of providing an ink-jet printer with such an inkjet recording element.

Inkjet recording element comprising polyester ionomer and a method of use

An inkjet recording system comprising a pigment-based ink in combination with a recording element having a porous substrate with relatively large pores and a relatively thin overlying surface layer which traps pigment particles, from an applied pigmented ink, at or near the surface while not unduly restricting ink flow into the underlying porous substrate.

Ink jet printing process

An ink jet printing method having the steps of: A) providing an ink jet printer that is responsive to digital data signals; B) loading the printer with an ink-receiving element having a support having thereon a continuous, coextensive, porous ink-receiving layer having interconnecting voids; C) loading the printer with an ink jet ink composition of water, a humectant, a pigment and particles of a water-dispersible polymer; and D) printing on the ink-receiving layer using the ink jet ink in response to the digital data signals.

Ink jet printing method

An ink jet recording element comprising an ink-permeable polyester substrate comprising a base polyester layer and an ink-permeable upper polyester layer, the upper polyester layer comprising a continuous polyester phase having an ink absorbency rate resulting in a dry time of less than about 10 seconds and a total absorbent capacity of at least about 14 cc/m , the substrate having thereon a porous image-receiving layer having interconnecting voids.

Ink jet recording element

A dye-donor element for thermal dye transfer comprising a support having thereon at least one dye layer area comprising an image dye in a binder and another area comprising a transferable protection layer, the transferable protection layer area being approximately equal in size to the dye layer area, wherein the transferable protection layer contains inorganic particles, a polymeric binder and unexpanded synthetic thermoplastic polymeric microspheres, the microspheres having a particle size in the unexpanded condition of from about 5 to about 20 &mgr;m, and which expand to about 20 to about 120 &mgr;m upon application of heat during transfer of the protection layer to an image-receiving layer to provide a matte surface thereon, the transferable protection layer being less than about 1 &mgr;m thick.
