Definitions
- This invention relates to a coating compositions, to recording materials and to processes for making and using recording materials.
- IJP Ink-jet printing
- IJP is a non-impact printing technique in which droplets of ink are ejected through a fine nozzle onto a recording material without bringing the nozzle into contact with the recording material.
- the images prepared by IJP desirably meet many demanding requirements. For example, they should be sharp and non-feathered and should also exhibit high water-fastness, light-fastness, humidity-fastness and optical density without suffering from significant hue shift. Both the ink and recording material used in forming the image play a key role in ensuring these requirements are met.
- Recording material used in ink-jet printing can be plain paper, coated paper, plastic film, cloth, and any other coated or uncoated material that can absorb ink and form a good image.
- the recording material usually comprises a substrate carrying a dry coating layer obtained from a specially formulated coating composition.
- These coating layers can be divided into two major categories: fully dense coatings (also known as swellable coatings) and porous coatings.
- the fully dense coatings are mainly comprised of film-forming polymers, with at least one of the polymers being hydrophilic. This hydrophilic polymer is either water soluble or water swellable. Sometimes a small amount of pigment is incorporated into these coatings, but the weight ratio of pigment to binder in the coating composition is usually 1:1 or less. Fully dense coatings give a glossy surface and are usually transparent. They absorb ink and form an image through rapid swelling of the coating itself. However, they often display poor wet-fastness and rub-fastness.
- porous coatings have the advantage over fully dense coatings in that they allow faster “drying” of the ink.
- certain coating compositions are useful for preparing recording materials having beneficial properties.

Abstract
A coating composition comprising pigment, medium and binder comprising a poly(C3-18-hydrocarbyl mono guanidine) and characterised in that the weight ratio of pigment to binder in the composition is at least 2:1. Also a recording material comprising this composition, a process for forming the recording material, and an ink-jet printing process utilizing the recording material.
Description
- This invention relates to a coating compositions, to recording materials and to processes for making and using recording materials.
- Ink-jet printing (IJP) is a non-impact printing technique in which droplets of ink are ejected through a fine nozzle onto a recording material without bringing the nozzle into contact with the recording material. The images prepared by IJP desirably meet many demanding requirements. For example, they should be sharp and non-feathered and should also exhibit high water-fastness, light-fastness, humidity-fastness and optical density without suffering from significant hue shift. Both the ink and recording material used in forming the image play a key role in ensuring these requirements are met.
- Recording material used in ink-jet printing can be plain paper, coated paper, plastic film, cloth, and any other coated or uncoated material that can absorb ink and form a good image. However, in order to form a high resolution image, the recording material usually comprises a substrate carrying a dry coating layer obtained from a specially formulated coating composition. These coating layers can be divided into two major categories: fully dense coatings (also known as swellable coatings) and porous coatings.
- The fully dense coatings are mainly comprised of film-forming polymers, with at least one of the polymers being hydrophilic. This hydrophilic polymer is either water soluble or water swellable. Sometimes a small amount of pigment is incorporated into these coatings, but the weight ratio of pigment to binder in the coating composition is usually 1:1 or less. Fully dense coatings give a glossy surface and are usually transparent. They absorb ink and form an image through rapid swelling of the coating itself. However, they often display poor wet-fastness and rub-fastness.
- International Patent Application WO0058107 describes the use of a polymonoguanidine as a fixing agent in fully dense coatings for ink-jet printing.
- Ink droplets applied by ink-jet printing are rapidly absorbed into porous coatings through capillary action with the result that the image is touch-dry soon after printing. Thus, porous coatings have the advantage over fully dense coatings in that they allow faster “drying” of the ink. We have surprisingly found that certain coating compositions are useful for preparing recording materials having beneficial properties.
- Thus, according to the present invention there is provided a coating composition comprising pigment, medium and binder comprising a poly(C3-18-hydrocarbyl mono guanidine) and characterised in that the weight ratio of pigment to binder in the composition is at least 2:1.

The resultant prints usually have good optical density, even with black pigment inks that often suffer from a drop in optical density, an unsightly grey appearance and poor image quality when printed onto conventional recording materials.

- Stage 1 Preparation of poly(hexamethyleneguanidine).HCl (“PMG 1”)
- Guanidine hydrochloride (45 g) and 1,6-hexamethylenediamine (54.74 g) were weighed into a 250 ml round-bottomed flask. The mixture was heated to 120° C. with stirring under N2. The reaction mixture was held under N2 at 120° C. for 5 hours. The temperature was then increased to 150° C. and the reaction mixture was held at this temperature for a further 7 hours. The reaction mixture containing the product was allowed to cool to room temperature and then mixed with an equal volume of distilled water and heated to 80° C. and held at this temperature until the product had dissolved. The solution was cooled and the pH adjusted to 1.5 with concentrated HCl and adjusted to 25% solids with distilled water. The aqueous solution of the product separated from an oily top layer using a separating funnel.
- The resultant monoguanidine was of Formula (3) as hereinbefore defined with an average value for n of 5, as determined by1H NMR end group analysis.

- The formulations described in Table 1 were coated onto white card using a number 7 K-bar. The coatings were then dried in an oven at 100° C. for 3 minutes. All coatings were examined and found to be smooth and even and devoid of cracks.
- Stage 4—Printing of Recording Materials
- The recording materials from Stage 3 were then inkjet printed using a Canon BJC8200 colour ink-jet printer using the standard ink-set supplied by Canon for this printer i.e. cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink.
- The prints were made in the form of a grid consisting of 2 mm parallel lines separated by unprinted areas of 7 mm.
- Print quality was assessed in terms of evenness of colour and absence of mottle as:
- 1=excellent
- 2=average
- 3=poor
- Dry-time was assessed as:
- 1=prints touch dry immediately after printing
- 2=touch dry in>30s
- 3 touch dry in>2 minutes.
- The results of the print quality and dry-time tests are shown in Table 2 below.
- Stage 5—Water-fastness Testing of Recording Materials
- Water-fastness was assessed by performing water run-downs on the printed recording materials from Stage 4. The prints were allowed to dry at room temperature before they were inclined at 45° to the horizontal and 1 ml of water was run down over the print at a right angle to the direction of the printed lines. The unprinted areas were then examined to determine the extent of any colour running from the printed lines to the unprinted areas. The substrates were given a scoring according to the following criteria:
- 1=No run-down evident (complete water resistance in this test)
- 2=Some colour run-down evident
- 3=Very bad colour run-down evident (no water resistance)
- The results of the water-fastness assessments performed in Stage 5 are shown in Table 2.
