Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
39 words
An ink jet printing composition containing a liquid vehicle and a colorant and a surfactant comprising 0.3 to 0.6 wt. % acetylenic polyalkylene oxide and 1 to 4 wt % quasisurfactant penetrant based on the wt. of said composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
39 words
An ink jet printing composition containing a liquid vehicle and a colorant and a surfactant comprising 0.3 to 0.6 wt. % acetylenic polyalkylene oxide and 1 to 4 wt % quasisurfactant penetrant based on the wt. of said composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The ink jet printing composition of claim 1, wherein said acetylenic polyalkylene oxide is: ##STR2## where n+m=0 to 50.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
The ink jet printing composition of claim 1, wherein said acetylenic polyalkylene oxide is an ethoxylated tetramethyl decynediol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
The ink jet printing composition of claim 1, wherein said quasisurfactant penetrant is selected from the group consisting of dl-1,2-hexanediol, 1,2-octanediol, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, 1-cyclohexyl-2-pyrrolidinone and 2-methyl-2-propyl-1-3-propanediol and 1-butanesulfonic acid sodium salt.

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
54 words
An ink jet printing process, comprising causing an ink jet composition containing a surfactant comprising 0.3 to 6 wt. % acetylenic polyalkylene oxide and 1 to 4 wt. % quasisurfactant penetrant based on the wt. of said composition to be ejected in an imagewise fashion from a thermal ink jet printer onto a substrate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
54 words
An ink jet printing process, comprising causing an ink jet composition containing a surfactant comprising 0.3 to 6 wt. % acetylenic polyalkylene oxide and 1 to 4 wt. % quasisurfactant penetrant based on the wt. of said composition to be ejected in an imagewise fashion from a thermal ink jet printer onto a substrate.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
19 words

Claim 14
Independent Claim
47 words
A method of improving the fast dry characteristics of ink jet inks, comprising incorporating into a thermal ink jet ink composition, a surfactant comprising 0.3 to 6 wt. % acetylenic polyalkylene oxide and 1 to 4 wt. % quasisurfactant penetrant based on the wt. of said composition.
Claim 15
Independent Claim
47 words
A method of improving the fast dry characteristics of ink jet inks, comprising incorporating into a thermal ink jet ink composition, a surfactant comprising 0.3 to 6 wt. % acetylenic polyalkylene oxide and 1 to 4 wt. % quasisurfactant penetrant based on the wt. of said composition.
