| 20080264288 | Phase change ink compositions - Disclosed is a phase change ink composition comprising a colorant and a phase change ink vehicle comprising a compound of the formula | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080297556 | SOLID INK SET INCORPORATING NATURALLY DERIVED MATERIALS AND PROCESSES THEREOF - A solid phase change ink composition that includes an ink vehicle, a colorant, and at least one naturally derived material. At least one naturally derived material is a low melt material having an onset of melting from about 45° C. to about 120° C., and a melt transition width of from about 3° C. to about 30° C. Also provided is a method for producing a solid phase change ink composition that includes selecting at least one naturally derived material, forming an ink vehicle, and adding a colorant, wherein at least one naturally derived material is a low melt material having an onset of melting of from about 45° C. to about 120° C., and a melt transition width of from about 3° C. to about 30° C. An ink jet device that includes the solid phase change ink composition described in the present disclosure is also provided. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090082489 | Phase change ink compositions - A phase change ink composition including (a) an ink vehicle; (b) a dispersing agent; (c) a colorant; and (d) organic fiber shaped nanowhiskers, inorganic fiber shaped nanowhiskers, or a combination of organic and inorganic fiber shaped nanowhiskers, wherein the organic fiber shaped nanowhiskers, the inorganic fiber shaped nanowhiskers, or a combination thereof, are encapsulated or functionalized to enhance compatibility with the ink vehicle; and wherein the colorant and the organic fiber shaped nanowhiskers, the inorganic fiber shaped nanowhiskers, or combination of organic and inorganic fiber shaped nanowhiskers are substantially resistant to aggregation and settling in the ink vehicle. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20100190904 | PIGMENTED PHASE CHANGE INKS WITH DISPERSANT AND SYNERGIST - A phase change ink composition includes an ink vehicle and at least one pigment, wherein the ink composition is substantially solid at room temperature and includes at least one dispersant for the at least pigment and at least one synergist. | 07-29-2010 |
