Abstract

Modifying the surface of an edible with a high polarity water-based glaze or polishing gum improves the printing of images on the edibles with low viscosity inks typically used in ink jet printing. The methods described herein are suited to printing high resolution ink jet images on edible substrate, such as a hard panned sugar shell confectionery.

6. The confection according to claim 1, wherein said modified-polarity coating has been dried on the sugar shell surface from a water-based glaze comprising about 45 to about 75 percent by weight water, about 10 to about 25 percent by weight of one or more hydrocolloids, and about 5 to about 25 percent by weight of one or more sugars.
7. The confection according to claim 1, wherein said modified-polarity coating has been dried on the sugar shell surface from a polishing gum comprising about 30 to about 50 percent by weight water, about 35 to about 50 percent by weight of one or more sugars, and about 10 to about 25 percent by weight of one or more hydrocolloids.
8. The confection according to claim 1, wherein said ink image is a water-based ink-jettable ink.
9. The confection according to claim 8, wherein said image is an ink-jetted, water-based ink image printed with low viscosity pigmented ink comprising about 3 to about 45 percent by weight pigment; about 1 to about 50 percent by weight dispersant;
less than about 40 percent by weight non-aqueous solvent; and about 30 to about 85 percent by weight water.
10. The confection according to claim 6, wherein said glaze comprises:
about 10 to about 20 percent by weight of one or more sugars, about 15 to about 25 percent by weight of a mixture of gums and starches, hydrogenated oil, present in an amount up to about 10 percent by weight, and preservatives present in an amount up to about 0.2 percent by weight.
11. The confection according to claim 7, wherein said polishing gum comprises about 35 to about 45 percent by weight of one or more sugars, about 15 to about 25 percent by weight of one or more hydrocolloids, and about 30 to about 45 percent by weight water.
12. The confection of claim 1, further comprising a hydrophobic finish coating on the printed ink image.
13. A method for ink-jet printing on an edible substrate, comprising the steps of:
coating a surface of an edible substrate with a hydrophilic substance containing water, hydrocolloid, and sugar to form a polarity-modified surface; and ink-jet printing at a least a first ink-jet image on the polarity-modified surface with water-based ink.
14. The method of claim 13 wherein said step of coating with a hydrophilic substance comprises applying a water-based composition comprising one or more sugars in an amount of about 5 to about 50 percent by weight, water in an amount of about 30 to about 75 percent by weight, and one or more hydrocolloids in an amount of about 5 to about 25 percent by weight.
15. A method according to claim 13, wherein said step of coating with a hydrophilic substance comprises applying a water-based glaze comprising about 45 to about 75 percent by weight water, about 10 to about 25 percent by weight of one or more hydrocolloids, and about 5 to about 25 percent by weight of one or more sugars.
16. A method according to claim 13, wherein said step of coating with a hydrophilic substance comprises applying a polishing gum comprising about 35 to about 50 percent by weight of one or more sugars, about 10 to about 25 percent by weight of one or more hydrocolloids, and about 30 to about 50 percent by weight water.
17. The method of claim 13, wherein said water-based ink comprises:

20. The method of claim 19, wherein said step of applying a final wax coat comprises applying a wet wax coat and applying a dry wax coat after applying the wet wax coat.
21. The method of claim 13, further comprising the step of applying a protecting layer of water-based glaze or polishing gum on said ink-jet printed image.
22. The method of claim 13, wherein said ink-jet printing is high resolution drop-on-demand ink-jet printing, and further comprising the step of ink-jet printing a second water-based ink image on said edible substrate in substantial registration with said first image to form a high-resolution composite image.
23. A method of claim 22 comprising the steps of drying said first image and applying a hydrophilic substance on said first image before printing said second image.
24. The method of claim 22, wherein said high resolution composite image is a multicolor image.
25. The method of claim 13, wherein said edible substrate is a hard panned sugar shell confectionery.
26. A method for ink-jet printing on a hard panned edible substrate, comprising the steps of:
