View page
US Patent:
7147801, Dec 12, 2006
Filed:
Mar 12, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/800426
Inventors:
Michael Kozee - Wheaton IL, US
Steven D. Looman - Wheaton IL, US
John P. Folkers - Palatine IL, US
Assignee:
Videojet Technologies Inc. - Wood Dale IL
International Classification:
C09D 11/00
US Classification:
25230116, 252700, 25230136, 427 8, 427157, 523160, 523161, 106 3164, 106 3115, 106 3116, 106 3132, 428 29, 428199, 382135, 382137, 382163, 382321, 283 95, 283 92
Abstract:
Disclosed is an ink composition suitable for ink jet printing comprising a luminescent compound, a solvent, and an energy active compound, and optionally a non-luminescent colorant. The energy active compound, when exposed to energy, generates one or more active species that can react with the luminescent compound to alter one or more of the characteristics of the luminescent compound. The luminescent compound can be colored or colorless. Also disclosed is a method for marking substrates comprising providing a mark comprising a luminescent compound and an energy active compound. Further disclosed is a jet ink composition suitable for printing on substrates authentication or security marks which can be rendered unreadable. The luminescence of the mark is quenched and the visible color is changed when irradiated with a light.

Opaque Ink Jet Ink Composition

US Patent:
7279511, Oct 9, 2007
Filed:
Dec 9, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/314163
Inventors:
Linfang Zhu - Naperville IL, US
Fengfei Xiao - Northbrook IL, US
John P. Folkers - Arlington Heights IL, US
Assignee:
Videojet Technologies Inc. - Wood Dale IL
International Classification:
C09D 11/10
US Classification:
523160, 106 316, 252500
Abstract:
Disclosed are opaque ink jet ink compositions and a method of printing that produce messages having a good contrast on darkly colored substrates, particularly darkly colored glass substrates, and that do not smear or degrade when exposed to moisture and/or hot and cold humid conditions, or when exposed to ice water or water under sterilizing conditions. The ink jet ink compositions comprise one or more organic solvents, one or more white pigments, one or more hydrophobic conductive agents, and one or more binder resins. In an embodiment of the ink jet ink composition, at least one binder resin comprises an acrylic or styrene acrylic resin. In another embodiment, the ink jet ink composition is free of polyamines. The ink jet ink composition may also include a glass adhesion promoter.

Ink Jet Ink Composition For Wetness Indication

View page
US Patent:
7285160, Oct 23, 2007
Filed:
Nov 4, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/701733
Inventors:
Linfang Zhu - Naperville IL, US
James D. McClellan - Mt. Prospect IL, US
John P. Folkers - Arlington Heights IL, US
Assignee:
Videojet Technologies Inc. - Wood Dale IL
International Classification:
C09D 11/00
G01D 11/00
US Classification:
106 3158, 106 3159, 106 3143, 347100
Abstract:
Disclosed is an ink composition which is suitable for ink jet printing and comprising an organic solvent, for example, methanol, a water-soluble resin, a water-soluble dye, and optionally a surfactant, wherein, if water is present, it is present in an amount less than 50% by weight of the ink composition. The ink composition is suitable for printing messages on substrates such as diaper outer liner fabrics. The printed messages are removed upon contact with water or urine or other aqueous body fluid, thereby providing an indication of diaper wetness.

Indelible Ink Jet Ink Composition

View page
US Patent:
7297201, Nov 20, 2007
Filed:
Jan 6, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/030504
Inventors:
Steven D. Looman - Holland MI, US
John P. Folkers - Palatine IL, US
Assignee:
Videojet Technologies Inc. - Wood Dale IL
International Classification:
C09D 11/02
US Classification:
106 3158, 106 3128, 106 3186
Abstract:
Disclosed is an ink jet ink composition that forms indelible images on porous or semiporous substrates. The ink composition comprises a liquid carrier, a first colorant that is soluble in the carrier but insoluble or substantially insoluble in water, and a second colorant composition comprising a pigment, the second colorant composition being dispersible in the carrier. The second colorant composition is insoluble or substantially insoluble in the carrier. The images are difficult or impossible to remove or wash out by the use of aqueous and/or nonaqueous liquids.

US Patent:
8091993, Jan 10, 2012
Filed:
May 22, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/125126
Inventors:
Charles W. Gilson - Philomath OR, US
Thomas E. Kimerling - Corvallis OR, US
Mark R. Thackray - Corvallis OR, US
Kenneth E. Trueba - Corvallis OR, US

Assignee:
Videojet Technologies Inc. - Wood Dale IL
International Classification:
B41J 2/17
US Classification:
347 84, 347 85, 347 20, 347 86, 347 54, 267 15
Abstract:
An ink containment system for an inkjet cartridge, for storing ink for printing, comprises a housing having a plurality of walls. A rigid basin member and a rigid moveable plate are disposed within the housing. A flexible membrane is affixed to a surface of the basin member and to a surface of the plate forming an ink reservoir within the basin member, plate and flexible membrane. A spring-biased mechanism is disposed between the basin member and plate, for biasing the plate apart from the basin member, generating a negative pressure within the ink reservoir and the basin member remaining stationary relative to the movement of the plate.
