Patent ID: 7655707

Claim:
An ink-jet ink, comprising: a) an aqueous liquid vehicle; b) polymer-encapsulated pigment solids dispersed in the liquid vehicle, said polymer-encapsulated pigment solids having a pigment core and a copolymeric shell, said copolymeric shell including multiple polymerized monomers; c) a first copolymeric binder present in the ink-jet ink, wherein the first copolymeric binder includes at least one of the multiple polymerized monomers, and further, is different than the copolymeric shell; and d) a second copolymeric binder present in the ink-jet ink, wherein the second copolymeric binder includes at least one of the multiple polymerized monomers, and further, is different than the copolymeric shell and the first copolymeric binder.
