Abstract:
1. A fusible print medium, comprising: a photobase layer; a vehicle sink layer; and a colorant-receiving layer comprising core-shell polymer particles having a hydrophilic shell and a fusible hydrophobic core, wherein the colorant-receiving layer is configured to have a phase inversion that encapsulates a colorant in the colorant-receiving layer, and wherein the hydrophilic shell comprises a latex vinyl polymer, and wherein cationic mordant is fused or grafted to a surface of the hydrophilic shell to provide mordant properties to the colorant-receiving layer, the cationic mordant being selected from the group consisting of a polyamine, a polyethyleneimine, a polyamidoamine, a guaternary amine polymer and derivatives thereof.
