20140043421 | MARKING DEVICE FOR MARKING CONTAINERS, CONTAINER HANDLING DEVICE AND A METHOD FOR MARKING CONTAINERS - The disclosure relates to a marking device for marking containers, for example, in the food industry, with devices for receiving measured feature data of a container and/or one or more container configurations, where the measured feature data is determined by a measuring device, and where the measured feature data relates to at least one criterion of several criteria which the container and/or the one or more container configurations do not satisfy. Furthermore, the marking device includes devices for creating marking data based on the measured feature data, where the marking data can be created such that it is indicated which of the several criteria the container and/or the one or more container configurations do not satisfy, and devices for physically applying at least one marking on the container, where the at least one marking is based on the marking data. The disclosure further relates to a container handling device with the marking device and a method for marking containers using the marking device. | 02-13-2014 |
20140168337 | PRINT MEDIUM SURFACE TREATMENT - A print medium surface treatment includes a first composition that includes a filler, and a polymer that is non-film forming until it is subjected to film forming conditions. The first composition has a charge density that is large enough to promote crashing of particulate colorants of an ink and low enough to avoid crashing of the filler. | 06-19-2014 |
20150035926 | COATED MEDIA SUBSTRATE - The present disclosure is drawn to coated media substrates, as well as related systems and methods. In one example, a coated media substrate for inkjet ink printing can comprise an ink-receiving layer coated on at least one side of a substrate, and can be formulated for accepting an inkjet ink composition. The ink-receiving layer can comprise an optical brightening agent, an organic acid salt, a binder, a pigment, and a low-molecular weight polymeric carrier having a weighted average molecular weight less than 50,000 Mw. | 02-05-2015 |
