Abstract

Claims (16)

1. An inkjet receptive composition for use on glossy paper substrates comprising:

a non-anionic polymer binder, the polymer binder comprising a polyurethane dispersion present in an amount from about 5 to about 15 wt %;

a multivalent salt, the multivalent salt comprising calcium chloride;

a pigment, the pigment comprising colloidal silica;

a surfactant;

a defoamer; and

water present in an amount greater than about 40 wt %, wherein the inkjet receptive composition has a viscosity of between about 3 and about 500 cP, and wherein a ratio of pigment wt % to polymer binder wt % is within a range from about 2:1 to about 4:1.

2. The inkjet receptive composition of claim 1 , wherein the pigment is present in an amount from about 10 to about 40 wt %.

3. The inkjet receptive composition of claim 1 , wherein the surfactant is present in an amount from about 0.5 to about 1.5 wt %.

4. The inkjet receptive composition of claim 1 , wherein the water is present in an amount from about 40 to about 65 wt %.

5. The inkjet receptive composition of claim 1 , wherein the viscosity is from about 4 to about 12 cP, and wherein the polyurethane dispersion does not contain N-methyl-pyrrolidone.

6. A method of printing using an inkjet receptive composition of claim 1 , comprising:

applying the inkjet receptive composition to a substrate, wherein the inkjet receptive composition is applied in an amount between about 0.2 and about 1.0 g/m 2 ;

heating the inkjet receptive composition; and

jetting an ink onto the inkjet receptive composition.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the heating step comprises passing the substrate through an infrared drying system.
