A dry-wipeable overhead projector film ink is provided which includes a colorant, an acrylic polymer having a film forming temperature below room temperature, and water. Preferred inks further include a surfactant and an anti-drying agent. The inks are easily removable from most types of overhead projector film by wiping with a dry cloth or fingertip. Certain preferred inks are also removable by wiping with a wet cloth.

Overhead projector inks

A method of making an emulsion ink is provided. The method includes mixing an ink precursor and processing the ink precursor in a homogenizer to form an emulsion ink. The ink precursor includes a pigment, water, a film forming polymer, an oil and, preferably, a pH dependent thickener and a base.

Aqueous inks

A pen containing an emulsion ink is provided. The emulsion ink is formed by mixing an ink precursor and processing the ink precursor in a homogenizer to form an emulsion ink. The ink precursor includes a pigment, water, a film forming polymer, an oil and, preferably, a pH dependent thickener and a base.

Aqueous ink pen

An aqueous-based erasable ink composition suitable for use in highlighters and other writing instruments includes a styrene-butadiene copolymer and a water-insoluble pigment. It preferably also includes a release agent and an anti-oxidant, and has a viscosity of between 10 cps and 30 cps.

Erasable inks

Permanent aqueous marker inks are provided which include surfactant, a pigment, a film-forming polymer, and water. The surfactant may be a combination of a hydrocarbon, preferably an alkylphenol ethyoxylate and a fluorocarbon, or it may be a silicone.

Permanent aqueous marker inks

An ink eradicator system is provided which includes an eradicator fluid that includes a reducing agent, a film-forming polymer and water.

Ink eradicator system including film forming polymer

An aqueous-based erasable ink composition suitable for use in highlighters and other writing instruments includes a styrene-butadiene copolymer and a water-insoluble pigment. It preferably also includes a release agent and an anti-oxidant, and has a viscosity of between 10cps and 30cps.

Fiber marker including an erasable ink

An erasable ink for marking boards is provided which includes a water dispersible pigment, silica, a latex and/or a spreading agent, and water, said ink having the ability to form continuous unbroken lines on a smooth, substantially non-porous surface, said lines being erasable from said surface, after drying, by a dry eraser.

Erasable ink

An erasable highlighting composition is provided including a block copolymer, a wax, and a fluorescent pigment. The composition is in solid form, and, when applied to an underlying marking on a substrate, is capable of forming a highlighting marking which may be erased without lifting the underlying marking.

Solid marking compositions

Novel, improved aqueous-based, shear-thinning, shock-resistant ink compositions and writing instruments including the ink compositions. The ink compositions comprise a substantially uniform dispersion of colorant(s), a water-dispersible polymeric shear-thinning material, and a substantially water-soluble polymeric material in a polar solvent system.

Writing instrument including shock resistant ink compositions

Aqueous based shear-thinning ink compositions and ball-point pens including the ink compositions. The ink compositions have a shear thinning index of from about 0.01 to about 0.6 and include colorant material(s) and a water dispersible, polymeric shear-thinning material substantially uniformly dispersed in a highly polar solvent system in which water is the primary solvent for the shear-thinning material.
