Abstract
Inks used in ink-jet printing comprise a vehicle and a dye. The dye is typically an anionic dye, associated with undesirable cations such as sodium or potassium cations. Several properties of such inks are improved by replacing at least about one-fourth of such cations on the anionic dye with tetramethylammonium cations.
