This invention relates to ink-receptive coating compositions and to articles containing a layer formed from such coating compositions. In one embodiment, the articles comprise a polymer film substrate and an ink-receptive layer on the upper surface of the polymer film substrate. In another embodiment, the article also comprises an adhesive layer on the bottom surface of the polymer film substrate. The articles may have a print image on the upper surface of the ink-receptive layer, and such print images exhibit improved performance when exposed to extreme environments such as high temperatures, water, solvents and abrasion.

Ink-receptive coatings, composites and adhesive-containing facestocks and labels

Improved binders, ink-receptive compositions, and coated substrates are provided. The ink-receptive compositions contain a binder, a particulate filler, and a mordant. A preferred binder comprises one or more acrylic copolymers made with at least one wet abrasion resistance-enhancing monomer. Papers, films, labels and similar products, coated with an ink-receptive composition, are also provided.
