E01C 11/16

US Classification:

404 17, 404 31, 404 72, 404 75

Abstract:

A composite material comprises: an open grid comprising at least two sets of strands. Each set of strands has openings between adjacent strands. The sets are oriented at a substantial angle to one another. A tack film is laminated to the open grid. The tack film has first and second major surfaces, such that a material of the tack film at its first and second major surfaces is a material including about 50% or more of resinous non-asphaltic component and about 50% or less of asphaltic component.

International Classification:

B08B 300
B08B 306
B08B 308

US Classification:

134 2219

Abstract:

Several methods are provided for cleaning felt or foam materials that are used to store and deliver ink, particularly ink supplied to ink jet printheads in an ink jet printing system. The felt materials are contaminated during manufacture, by various antistats, primarily phosphates. These antistats later react with the ink to create kogation and nozzle blocking problems as well as reduction of surface tension of the ink. The methods of the invention are directed to reducing the antistats left in the storage material after manufacture. In one method, the material is washed in heated softened water. Prior to loading the material in the wash, IPA is added to the heated wash. The material is washed through two Wash/Rinse cycles and then dried. The removal of the calcium in the wash water via softening prevents the precipitation of calcium-phosphate salts, which, when the material later contacts the ink, reduces nozzle clogging caused by these precipitates. The addition of the IPA increases removal of the phosphate antistats and greatly reduces the kogation and clogging problems.

International Classification:

B41J 221

US Classification:

347 43

Abstract:

An apparatus for printing a multicolor image on a sheet movable along a sheet path in a process direction. The apparatus includes a first printhead mounted at a first location along the sheet path and containing a first type ink for printing a first portion of the image on the sheet in which the first type ink has a surface tension greater than 40 dynes/cm at room temperature. The apparatus also includes a set of secondary printheads mounted along the sheet path and separated a small gap from the first printhead. The set of secondary printheads each contains a secondary type ink for printing a secondary portion of the multicolor image on the sheet, and each of the secondary type ink has a surface tension less than 40 dynes/cm at room temperature.
