Abstract
Abstract An ink composition for use in ink jet printing to print images on a vinyl substrate which contains vinyl polymers and plasticizers, the composition being formulated to include a resin component having a pendant amino group, a dye, and a carrier. The composition can be applied to vinyl substrates without fading with time, due to degradation of the printed images by plasticizers present in the vinyl substrate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
111 words
A plasticized vinyl article comprising (a) a vinyl layer which contains a vinyl polymer and at least one plasticizer for said polymer; and (b) images printed on said layer by non-contact, ink jet application of an ink having a composition comprising an acrylic resin binder component having pendant amino groups, said binder being soluble in, and dissolved by, a mixture of a lower alkanol and a lower ketone; a carrier comprising a lower alkanol and a lower ketone in which the acrylic resin binder is soluble; and a dye which is soluble or dispersible in said carrier; the images being stable against degradation by the plasticizer contained in said vinyl coating.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
111 words
A plasticized vinyl article comprising (a) a vinyl layer which contains a vinyl polymer and at least one plasticizer for said polymer; and (b) images printed on said layer by non-contact, ink jet application of an ink having a composition comprising an acrylic resin binder component having pendant amino groups, said binder being soluble in, and dissolved by, a mixture of a lower alkanol and a lower ketone; a carrier comprising a lower alkanol and a lower ketone in which the acrylic resin binder is soluble; and a dye which is soluble or dispersible in said carrier; the images being stable against degradation by the plasticizer contained in said vinyl coating.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
113 words
A plasticized vinyl article comprising: (a) A vinyl layer which contains a vinyl polymer and at least one plasticizer for said polymer; (b) Images printed on said layer by non-contact, ink jet application of an ink having a composition comprising an acrylic resin binder component having at least one pendant amino group; a carrier in which said acrylic resin binder is soluble, comprising a lower alkanol and a lower ketone; a dye soluble or dispersible in said carrier; a conductivity control component comprising a soluble ionizable salt; and an evaporation retardant selected from the group consisting of glycol ethers; the images being stable against degradation by the plasticizer contained in said vinyl coating.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
