Abstract:
A process for preparing a patterned, cross-linked, acrylic-polymer, film coating on a substrate; the process comprising:a) applying to the substrate by an ink-jet printing process a mixture comprising i) one or more cross-linkable, thermally ink-jettable, water-dissipatable, precursor(s) for one or more cross-linked, acrylic-polymer(s); ii) one or more cross-linker(s) capable of cross-linking the precursor(s) for the acrylic-polymer(s), where the cross-linker(s) is other than an epoxy resin and comprises one or more; polyol(s) comprising three or more hydroxy groups; trimethylolpropane; and/or triethanolamine; and iii) one or more resin inactive colorant(s); and b) thereafter curing the mixture in situ to form the patterned, cross-linked, acrylic-polymer, film coating on the substrate.
