A printing ink for producing mechanically erasable images, consisting essentially of: an aqueous latex-based binder dispersion of at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of noncarboxylated styrene-butadiene, 2-chlorobutadiene and vinylpyridine-styrene-butadiene; a water insoluble or organic-solvent soluble dyestuff coloring polymer particles thereof and selected from the group consisting of CI 61,500, CI 61,551 and CI 42770:1; at least one solubility promoter selected from the group consisting of N-methylurea, thiourea, 2-hydroxy-ethylurea, formamide, acetamide and dimethylsulfoxide; and at least one moisture-retentive compound selected from the group consisting of glycerine, 1,2,4-butanetriol and sorbitol.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
