Abstract:
1. A method for creating a permanent image on a substrate, comprising: ink-jetting a black- or color-containing ink-jet ink composition onto a substrate; ink-jetting a fusible composition carried by a liquid vehicle onto said substrate, said fusible composition comprising a polymer backbone having an acid side group and a substituted amide side group attached to the polymer backbone, said substituted amide side group having the formula CONHR, wherein R is (PEG) contacting said ink-jet ink composition and said fusible composition such that said ink-jet ink composition and said fusible composition are in the form of a liquid mixture on the substrate; and fusing said liquid mixture on said substrate thereby forming an image that undergoes minimal transference of black or color upon chemical or mechanical abrasion as measured by mOD values ranging between 0 and 100.
