Kogation reducing ink

Inkjet printer inks wherein kogation reduction is accomplished by the addition of phosphonate additives to the inks. In a preferred embodiment, the following are utilized: sodium salt of amino tri(methylene-phosphonic acid), 1-Hydroxyethylidene-1,1,-diphosphonic acid, diethylene triaminepenta(methyl...

Zusammenfassung:Inkjet printer inks wherein kogation reduction is accomplished by the addition of phosphonate additives to the inks. In a preferred embodiment, the following are utilized: sodium salt of amino tri(methylene-phosphonic acid), 1-Hydroxyethylidene-1,1,-diphosphonic acid, diethylene triaminepenta(methylenephosonic acid); and potassium salt form of hexamethylenediamine tetra(methylene phosphonic acid). Although in the examples disclosed herein, the salt form of the phosphonic acids were used, the acid form of the phosphonic acid can also be used provided the pH of the final inks are adjusted to desirable levels. Use of the above listed additives essentially eliminate kogation for the life of the pens, such as those used in Hewlett-Packard Company's thermal inkjet printers.
