PRINT QUALITY OF POLYMERIC SURFACES WITH AMPHIPHILIC PROTEIN COATING

摘要

This Invention relates to an inkjet printable article of polymeric surface coated with an amphiphilic protein, such as a hydrophobin, to enhance the quality of images printed thereon and to a method of coating of the polymeric surface with the amphiphilic protein with a proviso that the water contact angle of the polymeric surface ≧80° at 25° C. The coated amphiphilic protein functions as an “ink receiving layer”.
