Printing on Non-porous Substrates with Thermal Ink Jet
This paper addresses the challenges of using aggressive inks in thermal ink jet (TIJ) print
cartridges to enable printing on non-porous substrates. Non-aqueous inks are required to
achieve the performance characteristics desired including print speeds, image quality and
image durability on non-porous substrates. Thermal ink jet technology has traditionally been
considered only for aqueous inks. Some of the challenges of using non-aqueous inks in
thermal ink jet print cartridges are being solved and thus the benefits of thermal ink jet are
now available for non-porous printing applications. As the TIJ technology can be extended
for jetting not only inks, but also other fluids, the terms ink and fluid are used interchangeably
in this paper.
