ABSTRACT:

The present invention relates to novel colorant preparations comprising
A) at least one dispersed (A1) or dissolved (A2) colorant,
B) a dispersant in the case of a colorant (A1),
C) a low molecular weight polytetrahydrofuran (C1), if desired in mixture with one or more high-boiling water-soluble or -miscible organic solvents (C2), and
D) water
as essential constituents.
This invention further relates to the use of these colorant preparations as inks in the ink-jet process and to a process for printing sheetlike or three-dimensionally configured substrates by the ink-jet process using these colorant preparations.
Inks for use in the ink-jet process (such as Thermal Ink Jet, Piezo Ink Jet, Continuous Ink Jet, Valve Jet) have to meet a whole series of requirements. They have to have a viscosity and surface tension suitable for printing, they have to be stable in storage, i.e., they should not coagulate or flocculate, and they must not lead to cloggage of the printer nozzle, which can be problematical especially in the case of inks containing dispersed, i.e., undissolved, colorant particles. Stability in storage further requires of these inks that the dispersed colorant particles do not sediment. Finally, in the case of Continuous Ink Jet, the inks shall be stable to the addition of conducting salts and be free from any tendency to flock out with an increase in the ion content. In addition, the prints obtained have to meet colorists' requirements, i.e., show brilliance and depth of shade, and have good fastness properties, e.g., for example rubfastness, lightfastness, waterfastness and wetrubfastness, and good drying behavior.
WO-A-99/01516 discloses pigmented ink-jet inks which differ from the present colorant preparations because of component (C).
It is an object of the present invention to provide novel colorant preparations having advantageous application properties in the ink-jet process, including in particular good start-of-print and sustained use behavior with good drying behavior.
We have found that this object is achieved by the colorant preparations defined at the beginning.
Colorant preparations according to the invention may include essentially insoluble dispersed colorant (A1) (finely divided organic or inorganic pigments or dyes which are insoluble in the water/solvent mixture) or dissolved colorant (A2) (dyes which are soluble in the water/solvent mixture). Colorant preparations according to the invention may also include colorant mixtures, but preferably only one colorant is present. Pigment-based colorant preparations according to the invention are preferred. By way of brightening agents, these pigment preparations may include dyes, especially direct, acid or reactive dyes, that are similar in hue to the pigment.
There now follow examples of useful pigments (A1), vat dyes being included among the organic pigments on account of the overlap with organic pigments.
