Abstract:
An ink composition comprising a colorant and a phase change ink carrier comprising a compound of the formula wherein, provided that at least one of R1, R2, and R3 is not a hydrogen atom, R1, R2, and R3 each, independently of the other, is (i) a hydrogen atom, (ii) an alkyl group, (iii) an aryl group, (iv) an arylalkyl group, or (v) an alkylaryl group, and wherein R1 and R2 can also be (vi) an alkoxy group, (vii) an aryloxy group, (viii) an arylalkyloxy group, (ix) an alkylaryloxy group, (x) a polyalkyleneoxy group, (xi) a polyaryleneoxy group, (xii) a polyarylalkyleneoxy group, (xiii) a polyalkylaryleneoxy group, (xiv) a silyl group, (xv) a siloxane group, (xvi) a polysilylene group, (xvii) a polysiloxane group, or (xviii) a group of the formula wherein r is an integer representing a number of repeat â€”CH2â€” groups, wherein s is on integer representing a number of repeating â€”CH2â€” groups, and wherein X is (a) a direct bond, (b) on oxygen atom, (c) a sulfur atom, (d) a group of the formula â€”NR40â€” wherein R40 is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, an arylalkyl group, or an alkylaryl group, or (e) a group of the formula â€”CR50R60â€” wherein R50 and R60 each, independently of the other, is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, an arylalkyl group, or an alkylaryl group, and R10 and R11 each, independently of the other, is (i) an alkylene group, (ii) an arylene group, (iii) an arylalkylene group, or (iv) an alkylarylene group, and wherein R10 can also be (v) a polyalkyleneoxy group, (vi) a polyaryleneoxy group, (vii) polyarylalkyleneoxy group, (viii) a polyalkylaryleneoxy group, (ix) a silylene group, (x) a siloxane group, (xi) a polysilylene group, or (xii) a polysiloxane group.
