Abstract:
A solvent-based dye sublimation ink composition includes specific chemical formulations of production agents for its manufacture in several colors. The sublimation ink composition includes a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, a polymeric amide, 2-methoxy-1-methylethyl acetate, N-butyl acetate, butan-2-OL, petroleum distillate, disperse and/or solvent dyes, propylene glycol and one or more acetates. Once produced, the solvent-based dye sublimation ink of the present invention may be used with ink jet printers and prevents or minimizes paper cockling while exhibiting outstanding stability and high print density capabilities.
