Abstract

A printing process includes printing a liquid ink onto a substrate surface. The ink includes a vehicle and a colorant dissolved in the ink. When the ink solidifies on the substrate the colorant, which is substantially insoluble in the solidified ink, migrates and locks to the surface to provide a substantially permanent readable color to the surface.
