An ink composition for printing onto the surfaces of glass or other glazed ceramic surfaces by jet printing in which the preferred formulation for the printing ink composition comprises 2 - 20% by weight of a linear novolac resin, 0.6 - 3% by weight of an alcohol or water and alcohol soluble dyestuff, 3 - 7% by weight of an evaporation retardant in the form of a glycol ether or glycol ester, with the remainder water and alcohol, with the water present in an amount up to 50% by weight of the alcohol and which may contain a soluble ionizable salt when the electrical resistivity of the ink composition exceeds 2000 ohm/cm. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1. An ink composition consisting essentially of 1 - 30% by weight linear novolac resin 0. 4 - 5% by weight soluble dyestuff 0 - 20% by weight evaporation retardant 0 - 1. 5% by weight alkali metal thiocyanate Remainder water and C. sub. 1 - C. sub. 5 alcohol, with the water present in an amount up to 80% by weight of the alcohol, said ink having a viscosity (20. degree. C) within the range of 1. 0 - 8. 0 cps, an electrical resistivity of less than 3000 ohm-cm, surface tension of 22. 5 - 60 dynes/cm, sonic viscosity within the range of 1200 - 1800 meters/sec. and a specific gravity within the range of 0. 800 - 1. 045. 2. An ink composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the materials are present in the amounts of 2 - 20% by weight linear novolac resin 0. 6 - 3% by weight soluble dyestuff 3 - 7% by weight evaporation retardant 0 - 1% by weight alkali metal thiocyanate Remainder water and C. sub. 1 - C. sub. 5 alcohol, with the water present in an amount up to 50% by weight of the alcohol, said ink composition having a viscosity within the range of 1. 5 - 4. 5 cps at 20. degree. C, an electrical resistivity of less than 2000 ohm-cm, surface tension within the range of 23. 5 - 32, dynes/cm, sonic viscosity within the range of 1200 - 1600 meters/sec, and a specific gravity within the range of 0. 850 - 0. 950. 3. An ink composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the novolac resin is an acid catalyzed phenol formaldehyde resin. 4. An ink composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the novolac resin has an average molecular weight within the range of 200 to 2500. 5. An ink composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the novolac resin has an average molecular weight within the range of 400 to 1000. 6. An ink composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the dyestuff is an alcohol soluble or an alcohol and water soluble dyestuff. 7. An ink composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the alkali metal thiocyanate, when present, is potassium thiocyanate. 8. An ink composition for printing onto the surfaces of glass or other ceramic surfaces by jet printing in which the ink composition consists essentially of 1 - 30% by weight of a linear novalac resin 0
