A method of sealing a nozzle. First, a device comprising a chamber, a nozzle, and a nozzle plate is provided, wherein the nozzle plate is installed on the chamber and the nozzle passes through the nozzle plate and connects the chamber. The chamber is then filled with ink. Residual ink on the nozzle plate is then removed by water. After that the nozzle plate is dried, a solution is then coated on the nozzle plate, wherein the solution has higher surface tension than the ink and has smaller contact angle with the nozzle plate than the water. Next, the nozzle plate is dried. Finally, a flexible material is bonded on the nozzle plate to seal the nozzle.

Method of sealing nozzles

An ink set for an inkjet printer comprises a first ink and at least one second ink. The first ink comprises at least one first colorant, a first media, and at least one first non-ionic surfactant. The first media comprises water. The at least one first non-ionic surfactant has a first HLB (Hydrophilic Lipophilic Balance) value. The at least one second ink comprises at least one second colorant, a second media, and at least one second non-ionic surfactant. The at least one second colorant provides corresponding color of the second ink. The second media comprises water. The at least one second non-ionic surfactant has a second HLB value. The first HLB value is smaller than or equal to the second HLB value.

Ink set for inkjet printers

A highly bleed-alleviating ink composition including at least one colorant, an aqueous media, a linear diol, and a humectant. The main feature of the ink composition is the addition of the linear diol. When the ink composition is applied in ink-jet printing, not only is the bleeding between black ink and color ink alleviated, but also water-fastness and printing quality are improved.

Highly bleed-alleviating ink composition

An ink composition containing a micro-encapsulated UV absorber. The ink composition includes a micro-encapsulated UV absorber, a dispersant, an emulsifer, at least one colorant, and a medium. The present invention adds a micro-encapsulated UV absorber to inkjet ink or screen printing ink. The micro-encapsulated UV absorber is suitable for either a water-based system or solvent-based system. The micro-encapsulated UV absorber increases the light-fastness and maintains longer-term light resistance because the UV absorber is gradually released from the microcapsule. The ink composition of the present invention provides excellent printing quality when used in inkjet or screen printing.

Ink composition containing micro-encapsulated UV absorber and process for preparing the same

An invisible ink composition and a method to ensure document confidentiality. The invisible ink composition includes a carrier as a solvent; and at least one leuco dye evenly dispersing in the carrier. The invisible ink becomes visible while the leuco dye is combined with a weak acidic developer.

Invisible ink composition and method to ensure document confidentiality

An ink-jet ink comprising a glycol compound with grafts, an aqueous solution, a pigment as a colorant, a surfactant, and a humectant is disclosed. The ink-jet ink has low surface tension and high drying speed. Moreover, the ink-jet ink has high adhesive force between the ink drops and the printing medium, and thus provides the printing medium with high water fastness.

Ink-jet ink comprising a glycol compound with grafts

A composition of a fragrant ink, at least comprising a microcapsule compound, a colorant, a media, a dispersing agent, and an emulsifier, and a preparation method thereof are disclosed. The microcapsule compound encapsulates a fragrant agent for providing the fragrant ink with fragrance. The colorant provides the fragrant ink with at least one color. The media is used as a solvent. The dispersing agent is for evenly dispersing the microcapsule compound in the media. The emulsifier emulsifies the fragrant agent released from the microcapsule compound and evenly disperses the fragrant agent in the media.

Fragrant ink with microcapsule compounds to provide fragrance

A fragrant ink-jet ink including: a fragrant agent, a surfactant, wherein a boiling point of the surfactant is above 78&deg; C. and a Hydrophilic Lipophilic Balance (HLB) of the surfactant is in a range of about 5 to 16, a colorant, and a solvent. The fragrant agent can be a natural fragrant agent, a synthetic fragrant agent or a mixture thereof. The amount of the fragrant agent is about 0.01 wt % to 10.0 wt %.

Fragrant ink-jet ink

An inkjet ink of multicolor dye set with high light-fastness and high water-fastness includes: a multicolor dye set, a surfactant, and an aqueous solvent. The multicolor dye set includes a cyan dye set, a magenta dye set, and a yellow dye set. The cyan dye set includes direct blue 199 dye, acid blue 9 dye, and direct blue 86 dye. The magenta dye set includes reactive red 180 dye, acid red 52 dye, and reactive red dye. The yellow dye set includes acid yellow 23 and direct yellow 86 dye. When the multicolor dye set of the invention is applied in ink-jet printing process, the high-quality printed image possesses great light-fastness and water-fastness high chroma, broad color gamut.

Multicolor dye set with high light-fastness and high water-fastness

A water-soluble dye set used in thermal bubble color ink-jet printers. The dye set has high water-fastness and includes (a) Direct Blue 199 dye and Acid Blue 9 dye; (b) Reactive Red 180 dye, Acid Red 52 dye, and Direct Red 75 dye; and (c) Direct Yellow 132 dye and Acid Yellow 5 dye. The dye set of the present invention has improved heat stability and storage stability when used in thermal bubble ink-jet printers. In addition, the dye set has special viscosity, good surface tension, and high water resistance, greatly improving printing properties.

Dye set and ink composition with high water-fastness

A jet ink of magenta comprising reactive red 180, acid red 52, and reactive red is disclosed in the present invention, wherein the said jet ink of magenta has the advantages of decreasing the color-fading phenomenon due to water exposure and light irradiation. Therefore, the properties of light-fastness and water-fastness are improved greatly, and thus, so is the printing quality.
