Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080220189Inkjet Recording Element - The present invention relates to an inkjet recording element showing good dye keeping in time and then good image stability. Said element comprises a support and at least one ink-receiving layer, said ink-receiving layer comprising at least allophane-type amorphous spherical or ring-shaped aluminosilicate particles, said aluminosilicate particles having been submitted to an acidic treatment. Said particles can be natural allophane, purified or not, or allophane obtained by synthesis.09-11-2008
20090208679MATERIAL INTENDED FOR FORMING OR PRINTING IMAGES AND ITS MANUFACTURING METHOD - The present invention relates to a material intended for forming or printing images, comprising a support and at least one hydrophilic binder-based layer, and its manufacturing method, said method enabling the gelation process of the hydrophilic binder to be controlled. The material according to the invention is characterized in that in at least one of said hydrophilic binder-based layers, said hydrophilic binder is gelated by complexation with a complexing agent present on a heat-sensitive polymer or copolymer, that is hydrophobic at temperatures higher than its lower critical solution temperature LCST to protect the complexing agent, and water-soluble at temperatures less than its LCST to make the complexing agent accessible, the LCST of the heat-sensitive (co)polymer being higher than the setting temperature of said hydrophilic binder. The material according to the invention can be used as photographic material or as material taking aqueous ink compositions applied by the inkjet printing technique.08-20-2009
20090233017MOLECULAR IMPRINTED MATERIAL AND INKJET RECORDING ELEMENT COMPRISING SAID MOLECULAR IMPRINTED MATERIAL - The present invention relates to an inkjet recording element having outstanding dye keeping properties in time. Said recording element comprises at least one molecular imprinted polymer having sites of selective recognition of dye molecules corresponding to the dye molecules used in inks for inkjet printing.09-17-2009
20100003428USE OF ORGANOCLAYS IN INKJET RECEIVER LAYER TO PREVENT THE OZONE FADE OF PRINT - An inkjet receiver is described which comprises a support and one or more layer coated thereon, at least one layer of which comprises one or more metal organosilicate polymer particulate materials. The metal organosilicate polymer particulate materials are obtainable by contacting a metal salt with a silicon-containing compound having an organic substituent in an organic solvent, wherein either the silicon-containing compound contains a basic group and/or the reaction is conducted in the presence of a base, wherein the metal is selected from one or more of aluminium, magnesium strontium, calcium or zinc and the silicon-containing compound comprises hydrolyzable and non-hydrolyzable substituents such as to form a metal organosilicate polymer particulate material therefrom. The described inkjet receiver is useful for forming images by inkjet printing having excellent colour fastness over time.01-07-2010
20100075042COMPOSITE MATERIALS FROM CHARGED OR FUNCTIONALIZED LATEXES FOR INKJET APPLICATIONS - An inkjet receiver comprising a support and one or more layers coated on the support, at least one of which comprises a particulate material and a binder, the particulate material comprising composite particles having an inner portion and an outer portion or core-shell arrangement, wherein the inner portion comprises a negatively-charged, positively-charged or functionalized latex, and the outer portion comprises an inorganic material having enhanced keeping properties and reduced ozone-induced dye fade.03-25-2010
