Ink, image forming method, and liquid discharging device

This invention describes a specialized ink, likely for inkjet printers, that uses a unique combination of coloring material, solvents, and water, along with resin particles and a polyether-modified siloxane compound. The ink is precisely engineered to have specific surface tension characteristics, ensuring it flows and dries optimally for printing. The claims specify a very narrow range for these surface tension properties, making it a highly particular formulation.

Why it matters: Since 2017, advancements in materials science and chemical synthesis may have made the specific resin particles and polyether-modified siloxane compounds more accessible or cost-effective to produce. This could make the precise surface tension control described in the claims more economically viable for high-performance inkjet applications.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSpecific chemical synthesis, precise property measurement
