Patent ID: 8480224

Claim:
An aqueous inkjet printing fluid composition for use in an inkjet printer comprising a silicon-based material which contacts the aqueous printing fluid composition, comprising in a concentration sufficient to inhibit corrosion of the silicon-based material when contacted by the aqueous printing fluid composition a soluble metal ligand complex of Formula (I): wherein M represents a divalent or a trivalent metal; each of X and R may independently be chosen from the group consisting of halogen, cyano, carboalkoxy, alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, hetaryl, carboxy, hydroxy, sulfo and phospho substituents; n and m independently represent an integer from 0-3; and the number of ligands y is 2 or 3; with the proviso that n+m is an integer from 1 to 6, and at least one of X and R comprises a solubilizing group capable of imparting water solubility to the complex.
