Assignee: A. B. Dick Company (Niles, IL)
Primary Examiner: Levin; Stanford M.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: McDougall, Hersh & Scott
An ink composition for jet printing onto non-porous-non-absorbent surfaces based upon a ketone solvent having a soluble ionizable salt and a dyestuff and which may contain in addition water in an amount up to 10% by weight, a lower alcohol in an amount up to 8% by weight, a pyrrolidone in an amount up to 4% by weight, a carbitol in an amount up to 4% by weight and a vinyl acetate copolymer resinous binder in an amount up to 6% by weight, the jet printing ink composition having a viscosity within the range of 1.5 to 10 cps, a resistance less than 2000 ohm-cm, a surface tension less than 28 dyne/cm, a velocity of sound within the range of 1200-1700 m/sec, and an upper limit of 5 microns and preferably 2 microns insolubles. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
An ink composition for jet printing onto non-porous non-absorbent surfaces comprising a solvent component the major portion of which is one or more organic ketones present in an amount of at least 64% by weight of the ink composition, and in which water may be present in an amount that does not exceed 10% by weight, a soluble ionizable salt present in solution in an amount within the range of 0.
25 to 2.
0% by weight, and an organic dyestuff soluble in the solvent component and present in an amount of at least 0.
25% by weight, said ink composition having a viscosity within the range of 1.
5 to 10 cps, a resistance less than 2000 ohm-cm, a surface tension of less than 28 dynes/cm, a velocity of sound within the range of 1200-1700 m/sec, and no particles having a dimension greater than 5 microns.
2.
An ink composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the soluble ionizable salt is present in an amount within the range of 0.
5 to 1.
0% by weight.
3.
An ink composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the soluble ionizable salt is selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal and alkaline earth metal halide, nitrate, thiocyanate, acetate and propionate.
4.
An ink composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the ketone solvent is selected from the group consisting of C.
sub.
2 to C.
sub.
10 aliphatic ketones and up to C.
sub.
10 alicyclic ketones.
5.
An ink composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the soluble dyestuff is present in an amount within the range of 0.
5 to 2.
0% by weight.
6.
An ink composition as claimed in claim 1 which includes water in an amount up to 10% by weight.
7.
An ink composition as claimed in claim 6 in which the water is present in an amount within the range of 0 to 5% by weight.
8.
An ink composition as claimed in claim 1 which includes a C.
sub.
1 to C.
sub.
5 alcohol in an amount up to 8% by weight.
9.
An ink composition as claimed in claim 8 in which the alcohol is present in an amount within the range of 2 to 6% by weight.
10.
An ink composition as claimed in claim 1 which includes pyrrolidone in an amount up to 4% by weight
