Abstract

An energy curable foam inhibition ink composition comprises an oligomer component consisting of 5-15% by weight of the ink composition, a photoinitiator component consisting of 5-15% by weight of ink composition, a monofunctional monomer component consisting of 20-40% by weight of ink composition, a difunctional monomer component consisting of 10-20% by weight of the ink composition, and an inhibitor additive consisting of 5-20% of the ink composition.

Claims (22)

1. An energy curable foam inhibition ink composition, comprising:

an oligomer component consisting of 5-15% by weight of the ink composition;

a photoinitiator component consisting of 5-15% by weight of ink composition;

a monofunctional monomer component consisting of 20-40% by weight of ink composition;

a difunctional monomer component consisting of 10-20% by weight of the ink composition; and

an inhibitor additive consisting of 5-20% of the ink composition.

2. The ink composition of claim 1 , further comprising:

a surfactant additive consisting of 0-3% of the ink composition; and

an amine functional additive consisting of 2-8% of the ink composition.

3. The ink composition of claim 1 , further comprising:

the ink composition having a jettable viscosity for inkjet printers between 4-15 cP at 45° Celsius.

4. The ink composition of claim 1 , further comprising:

the ink composition having a surface tension between 23-28 dynes.

5. A method of ink jet printing comprising:

jetting from an ink jet printer an ink composition onto a substrate, the ink composition comprising:

an oligomer component consisting of 5-15% by weight of the ink composition;

a photoinitiator component consisting of 5-15% by weight of ink composition;

a monofunctional monomer component consisting of 20-40% by weight of ink composition;

a difunctional monomer component consisting of 10-20% by weight of the ink composition;

a surfactant additive consisting of 0-3% of the ink composition;

an amine functional additive consisting of 2-8% of the ink composition; and

an inhibitor additive consisting of 5-20% of the ink composition.
