Transparent ink-jet recording films, compositions, and methods
View Patent ↗Transparent ink-jet recording films, compositions, and methods are disclosed. Such films exhibit improved ink-drying and smudging performance. These films exhibit high maximum optical densities and have low haze values. These films are useful for medical imaging.
1. A transparent ink-jet recording film comprising:
a transparent support;
at least one under-layer comprising at least one first polymer comprising gelatin and at least one borate or borate derivative; and
at least one image-receiving layer disposed on the at least one under-layer, said at least one image-receiving layer comprising at least one second polymer and at least one inorganic particle, said at least one second polymer comprising at least one water soluble or water dispersible cross-linkable polymer comprising at least one hydroxyl group,
wherein at least one of the at least one image-receiving layer further comprises sucrose in an amount of at least about 1.7 wt % and less than 4.3 wt %.
2. The transparent ink-jet recording film according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one inorganic particle comprises alumina.
3. The transparent ink-jet recording film according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one image-receiving layer comprises less than about 2.2 wt % of sucrose and further comprises nonyl phenol, glycidyl polyether.
4. A transparent ink-jet recording film comprising:
a transparent support;
at least one under-layer comprising at least one first polymer comprising gelatin and at least one borate or borate derivative; and
at least one image-receiving layer disposed on the at least one under-layer, said at least one image-receiving layer comprising at least one second polymer and at least one inorganic particle, said at least one second polymer comprising at least one water soluble or water dispersible cross-linkable polymer comprising at least one hydroxyl group,
wherein at least one of the at least one image-receiving layer further comprises galactose in an amount of at least about 1.7 wt % and less than 2.2 wt %.
5. The transparent ink-jet recording film according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one inorganic particle comprises alumina.
6. The transparent ink-jet recording film according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one second polymer comprises poly(vinyl alcohol).
7. The transparent ink-jet recording film according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one second polymer comprises poly(vinyl alcohol).
