Description

BACKGROUND

1. Field

The present invention relates to a set of ink for inkjet printing a paper sheet for being used in the manufacturing of decorative panels, for example floor, wall or furniture panels. The invention may further relate to a method for printing on a paper sheet, a printed paper sheet and/or to a decorative panel.

2. Discussion of Related Art

Paper sheets for decorative panels are usually printed using analogue gravure printing. In analog gravure printing multiple inks are printed using multiple engraved rollers, each roller being dedicated do a specific ink and to a specific design. Therefore, for each design to be printed it is possible to select the specific composition of each ink that best suit that specific design. A known drawback of analog printing is that shifting from one design to another is expensive and time consuming since it is necessary to engrave new cylinders and formulate the respective inks.

Decorative panels are mainly used for floor or furniture decoration and usually have a décor imitating a wood, stone, ceramic and/or cement. During private research the inventors have found that in analogue rotogravure printing of wood design, it is preferable to use red and yellow pigments with warm tonality, for example of red and orange; whereas for printing of stone imitating design it is preferable to use red and yellow color with a colder tonality, for example a blueish tonality.

Digital inkjet printing normally provides for a higher flexibility of the printing process and simplifies the operation of shifting from a décor to another one since it makes use of a set of inks comprising the primary colors cyan, yellow and magenta with the addition of black (CMYK).

Thereto, in order to easily and quickly shift from one décor to another, the set of inks used in inkjet printing of paper sheets for decorative panel comprises inks of the primary colors, cyan, magenta and yellow, and black. This set of colors in fact provides for a broad color gamut that makes possible to print almost any desired design. Examples of magenta and yellow pigments are CI magenta pigment 122, CI yellow pigment 74, yellow pigment 155, yellow pigment 151.

Since the color build up is different in analog printing and inkjet printing, the switching from analog to digital printing can lead to metamerism issues. Moreover, the inventors, during private research have found that in order to correct said metamerism effect, it may be necessary to increase the ink load in order to correct the shades of the starting pigments. The inventors have also found that when said printed paper substrate has to be impregnated with a thermosetting resin and laminated to a wear layer, for example in a short cycle press, as in the manufacturing of floor panels, an excess of ink load and in particular of pigment load on the printed substrate may lead to adhesion issues between the printed substrate and the wear layer.

SUMMARY

The present invention aims in the first place to provide an alternative ink set for inkjet printing onto plastic substrate for decorative panels, which, in accordance with several of its preferred embodiments, is directed to solve one or more of the problems arising in the state of the art.

Thereto, the present invention, according to its first independent aspect, a set of inks for inkjet printing on paper sheets for being used in laminated panel, preferably floor, wall or furniture panels.

Said inks are pigmented inks. Some or all of said pigments may comprise an average particle size measured in a dynamic light scattering device below 300 nm. In some embodiments, said inks may comprise a pigment load between 2 and 7% weight on the total weight of the ink.

Preferably said set of inks comprises: a cyan ink, a yellow ink, at least a red ink and at least a black ink. Said set of ink may be free of magenta ink.

In some embodiments said red ink can comprise pigment selected from the group consisting of: C.I. pigment red 144, C.I. pigment red 254, C.I. pigment red 176, C.I. pigment red 122, C.I. pigment red 202, C.I. pigment violet 19, C.I. pigment red 32, C.I. pigment red 207, C.I. pigment red 242 or a mixed crystal thereof. Said pigments provides for a reduced color gamut, but the inventor has surprisingly found that their implementation into an inkjet printer can lead to a reduced metamerism in the shifting of a wood or stone design from an analog printing to digital printing. Moreover, they provide for a reduced ink consumption leading to cost saving and improved adhesion after lamination with a wear layer.

In some embodiment said red ink can show a warm tonality, for example with orange and/or yellow shades. In some embodiment said red ink may comprise at least one pigment selected in the group consisting of: C.I. pigment red 144, C.I. pigment red 254, C.I. pigment red 176, C.I. pigment red 207, C.I. pigment red 242 or mixed crystal thereof. In some embodiment the red ink may comprise at least one red pigment having a HUE angle between 350° and 42°, for example said red ink may comprise a mixture of red pigments and wherein the ink has a HUE angle between 350° and 42°. Said pigments have been found to be particularly adapted for limiting the color metamerism in the printing of wood decors.

In some embodiment said red ink can show a cold tonality, for example with violet and/or blue shades. For example, said red ink may comprise at least one pigment selected in the group consisting of: C.I. pigment red 122, C.I. pigment red 202, C.I. pigment violet 19, C.I. pigment red 32 or a mixed crystal thereof. In some embodiment, said red ink may comprise at least one red or violet pigment having a hue angle between 312° and 350°, said red ink may also comprise a mixture of pigments and wherein the ink has a HUE angle between 312° and 350°. Said pigments have been found to be particularly adapted for limiting the color metamerism in the printing of stone or cement decors.

Preferably said set of ink may comprise a first red ink and a second red ink wherein said first and second red ink are different from each other, for example they comprise different pigments. For example, said first red ink can have a warmer tonality and the second red ink can have a colder tonality. The inventor has found that using a set of ink having two different red inks leads to an enlarged color gamut with respect to a set of ink using a unique red ink. Therefore, in this way it may be possible to print an enlarged selection of decors, in particular wood and stone décor, with the same set of inks but with an improved quality, reduced metamerism and reduced ink consumption compared to CMYK color system.

In some embodiment said first red ink can comprise at least one pigment selected in the group consisting of: C.I. pigment red 144, C.I. pigment red 254, C.I. pigment red 176, , C.I. pigment red 207, C.I. pigment red 242 or mixed crystal thereof; and/or said second red ink can comprise at least one pigment selected in the group consisting of: C.I. pigment red 122, C.I. pigment red 202, C.I. pigment violet 19, C.I. pigment red 32 or a mixed crystal thereof.

In some embodiment said first red ink may comprise at least one pigment having a hue angle between 350° and 42°, for example wherein said first red ink can comprise a mixture of pigments and wherein the ink has a HUE angle between 350° and 42°.

In some embodiments, said second red ink can comprise at least one pigment having a hue angle between 312° and 350°, for example wherein said second red ink can comprise a mixture of pigments and wherein the ink has a HUE angle between 312° and 350°.

In some embodiments, said yellow ink may comprise a pigment selected from the group consisting of: C.I. pigment yellow 110, C.I. pigment yellow 150, C.I. pigment yellow 93, C.I. pigment yellow 139, C.I. pigment yellow 181 or a mixed crystal thereof. Inventors have found that this kind of yellow pigments has a reduced greenish shade compared to yellow pigment conventionally used in inkjet printing and may lead to a reduced metamerism, and reduced ink consumption, especially for printing wood and stone décor, and in particular if used in combination with the preferred red inks according to the invention and indicated above. In particular, inventors have surprisingly found that using a yellow pigment 150 may lead to a reduced metamerism and pigment load required for printing both wood and stone or cement décor, especially when it is used in combination with red inks instead of magenta inks.

In some embodiments, the cyan pigment can comprise a phtalocyanine pigment.

In some embodiments, said black pigment can comprise a carbon black pigment.

In some embodiments the set of inks may comprise a first and a second black ink, preferably said second black ink may have a lower color intensity than the first black ink. For example, said second black ink can comprise a pigment load lower than the first black ink, preferably said pigment load of the second black ink is at least 4, more preferably at least 5 times lower than the first black ink. In some embodiments, said first black ink may comprise a pigment load between 2 and 7% weight on the total weight of the ink. In some embodiments, said second black ink may comprise a pigment load comprised between 0.1 and 2% based on the total weight of the ink. The inventor has found that droplets of said second black ink can be print beside droplets of the first black ink to reduce unprinted white areas and reduce the grainy effect that is often obtained with a unique black ink. The color gamut may be further improved using the second black ink.

In some embodiments said inks of the set can be water-based, UV based or hydro-UV based. It is noted that water-based inks are preferred above other kind of inks because provide a reduced barrier effect on the surface of the paper substrate thereby improving the lamination strength with a wear layer.

In some embodiment the viscosity of the ink is below 15 mPas at temperatures between 25 and 45° C.

In some embodiment the water-based ink may comprise wetting agent in a content of 0.1-3%, preferably surfynol 104E.
