WATER-BASED FLUORESCENT INK, METHOD OF IMAGE PRINTING, AND PRINTED IMAGE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C09D11/00 B41M5/00 B41J2/01 

FIELD: printing materials.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to printing ink containing first colorant and second colorant, at least one of the colorants including fluorescent color. First and second colorants are located separately on a printing medium while printing ink ensure obtaining printed image with improved fluorescent properties. Invention further relates to printed image and a method of forming printed image utilizing such ink. Invention solves the problem of reducing fluorescence and improving fluorescent properties by way of separating fluorescence region and colored region as well as by way of formation of area on printing medium wherein points of coagulated first colorant are spread in the region of fixed second colorant so that absorption of fluorescent emission energy from fluorescent colorant is considerably reduced by coexisting colorant involving corresponding technologies. The latter are based on a novel technical conception residing in improvement of characteristics of fluorescent emission of a second colorant used in printing ink including a first fluorescent colorant, which, being excited at specified excitation wavelength, fluoresces within specified wavelength range.

EFFECT: improved fluorescent properties of printed image.
