| 20120013684 | Thermal ink jet ink compostion - A solvent-based ink composition for a thermal inkjet printhead includes (a) 55-90 wt. % of an organic solvent including a ketone and a C | 01-19-2012 |
| 20120013677 | Thermal ink jet ink composition - An inkjet ink includes an organic solvent, a resin, a surfactant, and a colorant. The ink has a decap time of at least about 1 minute. | 01-19-2012 |
| 20110318547 | THERMAL INK JET PRINTING METHOD - A method for printing a decoration image on a substrate with a thermal ink jet printer includes providing a thermal ink jet printer and providing an ink composition for the ink jet printer. The ink composition includes water and a colorant. Both the substrate and the ink are soluble or dispersible in water. Droplets of the ink composition are applied to the substrate by the thermal ink jet printer. The ink droplets are allowed to dry, thereby printing an image on the substrate. | 12-29-2011 |
| 20110032298 | PRINTING METHOD - A method of printing an image on a substrate effected by moving the substrate past a print head during a printing operation and printing the image by printing a plurality of strokes. Printing each stroke includes emitting a plurality of drops of ink from the print head. The method includes receiving image data defining an image to be printed, the image data including data relating to a characteristic of the image; selecting printer control data defining the plurality of drops of ink which are to be emitted from the print head to print a stoke, the selecting being based upon data indicating a maximum number of drops of ink which can be emitted from the print head during a stroke and the characteristic of the image; and printing the image based upon the data defining the image to be printed and the printer control data. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20100328401 | THERMAL INK JET INK COMPOSITION - A solvent-based inkjet ink composition for inkjet printing includes at least 50 weight percent solvent, a colorant, a humectant, from 0.3 weight % to 8 weight % of a binder resin, and not more than 5 weight percent water. The ink composition is compatible with components of a thermal ink jet printer. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100271441 | CONTINUOUS STREAM INK JET PRINTHEAD - A continuous stream ink jet print head comprising: a droplet generator ( | 10-28-2010 |
| 20100233368 | ETHANOL-BASED INK COMPOSITION - An ink jet ink composition includes ethanol, a binder, a conductive agent, and a colorant. The ethanol is present in an amount at least 70% by weight of the ink composition. The binder is not a polyamide resin, a hydroxyaromatic resin, or a phenolic resin. The binder is present in an amount between 2% and 15% by weight of the ink composition. Water, if present, is in an amount less than 5% by weight of the ink composition. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100220149 | INK JET MODULE - A core module for an ink jet printer includes a housing and a connection manifold disposed on the housing and including a plurality of ports providing fluid communication into and out of the module. A plurality of components is disposed within the housing, including a filter module, an ink reservoir, and an ink circuit. The filter module includes a fluid filter disposed in a filter housing. The filter housing has an inlet and an outlet. The ink circuit is in fluid communication with the components and the ports, and includes fluid paths for conveying ink between the components. The filter module is connected to the connection manifold such that the filter housing inlet and outlet are each in fluid communication with one of the plurality of ports on the manifold. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100207976 | PRINT HEAD - A print head assembly includes a print head and a print head cover disposed around the print head. The print head cover includes a face and a print opening disposed in the face. The print opening disposed adjacent an ejection point of the print head. A perforated area is disposed on the face. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100157009 | Methods and Systems For Decorating Flexible Packaging - Method and systems are provided for decorating product packaging. A substrate suitable for product packaging to a thermal printer, such as a thermal transfer printer. A decoration is selected for printing on the substrate. The thermal printer is operated to print at least a portion of the decoration on the substrate. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100085401 | ADJUSTABLE PRINT HEAD - An adjustable print head assembly for an ink jet printer includes a first member and a second member. The first member includes an outer wall and an inner passage. The second member includes an outer wall and an inner passage, the outer wall including an angled surface complementary to the angled surface of the first member. A print head is connected to the second member. At least one ink line runs from the umbilical to the print head, and is disposed through the inner passages of the first and second members. The print head assembly is adjustable from a first configuration to a second configuration, wherein in the first configuration, the print head axis is oriented generally parallel to the umbilical axis, and in the second configuration, the print head axis is oriented at a predetermined angle with respect to the umbilical axis. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20090246377 | THERMAL INK JET INK COMPOSITION - Disclosed are ink jet ink compositions suitable for use in thermal ink jet printers. The ink jet ink compositions contain one or more volatile organic solvents, one or more humectants, one or more binder resins, and one or more colorants. The ink jet ink compositions may also contain additives such as a plasticizer and/or a surfactant. Embodiments of the ink jet ink compositions have short dry times, good adhesion to a variety of substrates, and/or long decap times. | 10-01-2009 |
