A method and system for storing and temporarily relocating a trash container so as to decongest a thoroughfare.

System for storing and temporarily relocating a trash container

The invention relates to a multiple pass printing process for generating MICR-readable indicia using a MICR ink-jet ink composition with a magnetic pigment loading less than that needed to generate the nominal signal level according to the ANSI standard with single pass printing, and to a printed substrate, prepared by the process, which bears MICR-readable indicia having at least two layers of the MICR ink-jet ink composition and which demonstrates a MICR signal level of greater than or equal to the nominal signal value according to the ANSI standard.

Multiple pass aqueous MICR inkjet ink printing

A non-aqueous ink jet ink for printing lithographic printing plates. The formulation provides for ink jet printing using a solvent based ink in a drop on demand printer. The ink exhibits excellent physical properties and good stability over a range of times and temperatures.

Non-aqueous ink jet ink for imaging a lithographic printing plate

The invention relates to an ink-jet ink composition suitable for use in secondary transfer processes wherein the ink-jet ink composition contains a pre-dispersion containing at least a sublimation colorant combined with an ink-jet ink containing at least a non-sublimable colorant. Upon printing, a monochrome intermediate transfer substrate is created. From this monochrome substrate, a multi-color image can be transferred to a permanent substrate with the application of heat and pressure. The monochrome intermediate transfer image is created by the non-sublimable colorant upon printing. The multi-color permanent image is generated as elevated temperatures and pressure of the transfer process cause the sublimation colorant to sublime and bond to the permanent substrate.
