Abstract
UV curable ink-jet inks for continuous ink-jet printing and drop on demand (DOD) ink-jet printing are provided which are preferably applied to substrates capable of absorbing part of an ink droplet applied thereupon. The ink compositions of the present invention include a mixture of water which serves as a solvent, a water miscible polymerizable material capable of being cured upon the application of UV light, a photoinitiator, and a colorant which may be a dye or a color pigment. The ink compositions may also include a bridging fluid.
