Abstract

An aqueous ink binder including 30-60%, by weight based on the dry weight of the binder composition, of a first polymer including, as polymerized units, 15-75%, by weight based on the weight of the first polymer, ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer having a pKa from 2.0 to 4.6, the first polymer having a calculated Hansch parameter from 1.3 to 2.1, and 70-40%, by weight based on the dry weight of the binder composition, of a second polymer, the second polymer being an aqueous emulsion polymer is provided. Also provides are a clear or pigmented ink composition and a method for providing an ink which has press resolublility and, as a dry film, water resistance.
