A thermal ink jet ink composition includes one or more volatile organic solvents, wherein the one or more volatile organic solvents comprise a solvent selected from C-Calcohols, C-Cketones, C-Cesters, C-Cethers, and mixtures thereof. The one or more volatile organic solvents are present in an amount at least 60% by weight of the ink composition. The ink composition includes one or more binder resins present in an amount from 1% to 10% by weight of the ink composition, and one or more dyes. If water is present, it is present in amount less than 5% by weight of the ink composition. The ink composition includes less than 2% by weight of any humectant and/or wetting agent with a relative evaporation rate less than 0.3. The ink composition is suitable for use in a thermal ink jet printer.

High adhesion TIJ ink

A thermal ink jet ink composition include a volatile organic solvent, a binder resin, a dye, a humectant in an amount from 1% to 40% by weight of the ink composition, and an additive for extending the decap time. The additive is present in an amount greater than 0.1% by weight of the thermal ink jet ink composition. The additive is selected from fluorinated surfactants, ionic surfactants, and nonionic surfactants.

Thermal ink jet ink composition with additive

A thermal ink jet ink composition includes at least 50% by weight volatile organic solvent selected from C-Calcohols, C-Cketones, C-Cesters, C-Cethers, and mixtures thereof; a colorant; a humectant present in an amount from about 1% to about 30% by weight; from 0.3% to 8% by weight of a binder resin; and not more than 5% by weight water; wherein the ink composition is compatible with components of a thermal ink jet printer.
