Ink follower compositions include a non-polar liquid that is a mixture of high molecular weight polybutene and low molecular weight polybutene, the high molecular weight polybutene having a number average molecular weight greater than about 900 and the low molecular weight polybutene having a number average molecular weight of about 500, the ratio of high molecular weight polybutene to low molecular weight polybutene being at least 2:1; a thickener and a polar additive. The polar additive is water or a non-ionic surfactant, e.g., ethoxylated nonylphenol.

Ink follower compositions

Ink follower compositions include a non-polar liquid, a thickener and a polar additive. The polar additive is preferably selected from the group consisting of non-ionic surfactants, e.g., ethoxylated nonylphenols, and low molecular weight alcohols.
