An ink jet-printable composition, which comprises a compound having a reactive silyl group and which is suitable for printing on non-porous substrates such as a glass or ceramic, and a process of decorating non-porous substrates involving ink jet printing the composition onto the substrate, exposing the printed composition to actinic or electron beam radiation to initiate curing and heating the printed composition to a temperature of at least 100&#xb0; C.

Jet ink and ink jet printing process

Disclosed is a composition such as a pigmented free radical UV-curable inkjet liquid composition for the printing of food packaging materials, which when cured in ambient air produces minimal contamination of the foodstuff. This composition uses non-polymeric photoinitiators having molecular weights less than 500 amu that migrate at levels below the specified SML (specific migration limit).

Low migration energy curable inks

The invention provides a drop-on-demand ink jet printing apparatus for printing inks comprising water or a volatile solvent onto a continuous web substrate, the printing apparatus comprising: a print head, a chamber for retaining water or solvent vapor in the vicinity of the print head, the chamber having an inlet for the continuous web substrate and an outlet for the printed continuous web substrate, and means for feeding the continuous web substrate through the chamber inlet into the chamber, past the print head and out of the chamber outlet.
