Abstract
An ink-jet ink composition and a method for printing are provided which involve the use of at least one perfluorinated solvent as part or all of the vehicle of the ink-jet ink. The ink-jet ink composition evidences improved bleed control, reduced paper cockle and curl, and reduced dry time upon printing onto a print medium. The use of perfluorinated solvents reduces or even eliminates material compatibility issues between the ink and the materials comprising the pen from which the ink is ejected.
