The present invention provides a process for preparing printed shrinkable polymeric film substrates, by applying an ink or overprint varnish comprising self-crosslinking acrylic emulsions. The inks and overprint varnishes are rub, scratch, chemical, humidity/water, and heat resistant, as well as being resistant to repeated bending and folding.

Water-based inks for shrink and non-shrink polymeric films

Described herein are printed laminates. The laminates include a first substrate having an applied layer of an ink or coating composition that includes a self-crosslinking acrylic polymer having has a glass transition temperature of 0&#xb0; C. or greater, a coalescent, and water; a second substrate positioned to configure the applied layer between the first substrate and the second substrate; and an adhesive bonding the first substrate to the second substrate. Also described is a process for making such laminates. In one aspect, the applied layer of ink is a reverse printed layer, in which the applied ink layer is highly compatible with the adhesive with which it comes in contact.

Film lamination inks

The present invention is directed to primer coatings that enhance the adhesion of liquid digital printing inks and toners to the substrate. The coatings comprise one or more polyurethane dispersions and one or more acrylic emulsions. The coatings of the present invention improve resistance to mineral oils, such as those typically found in liquid digital printing inks and toners. The primer coatings of the invention also reduce blocking, so that a primer coated reel of substrate may be easily unrolled, even after having been stored in the rolled reel for an extended period of time.

Primer for digital printing

The present invention provides a printing ink or coating composition comprising a self-crosslinking acrylic polymer, a coalescent and a silicone emulsion wherein the self-crosslinking acrylic polymer has a glass transition temperature of greater than 25&#xb0; C. Furthermore the present invention also provides a process for preparing a coated substrate, in particular a polyboard substrate and an article made from the coated substrate, such as a milk or juice carton.

Printing inks and coatings compositions for polyethylene coated board

The present invention is drawn to adhesion promoters comprising an organotitanium compound and a polyamide, for use in solvent-based liquid inks and coatings for flexible packaging, including non-direct food packaging, uses of such adhesion promoters, methods of using such adhesion promoters, inks and coating comprising such adhesion promoters and articles printed with the inks and coatings comprising such adhesion promoters, for example, a laminated printed article () comprising a printed image () on a substrate () and superimposed with an overlay () wherein the printed image () is prepared from inks or coatings comprising the adhesion promoters.
