ethylene glycol are combined in a bottle at room temperature ink is added to the mixture and the bottle is shaken vigorously for 2 minutes 1 080 7 ml of diethylene glycol mono butyl ether 506 88 ml of glycerine 887 1 ml permanent ink 128 38 ml ethylene glycol and 20 27 ml monoethanolamine were mixed by shaking the mixture in a 3 liter bottle at room temperature the bottle was shaken for 2 minutes 84 75 tablespoons polyvinyl pyrrolidone dvp was added to the mixture cited in example 3 above said ink mixture was put in blender and said pvp was added slowly during the blending process this additional ingredient thickens the ink mixture keeps it from leaking out of a foam ink pad and adds additional darkness and clarity to the imprint of the ink on fabric to which it is applied to the mixture cited in example 3 above the following were added 42 38 tablespoons guar gum 53 tablespoons fumed silica and 0 01 ml dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride to prevent mould growth the ink mixture was placed in a blender on high at room temperature the guar gum and fumed silica were added slowly while blending the mixture was further blended for 3 minutes the addition of these chemicals thickened the ink causing a darker and clearer impression while preventing the ink from leaking out of a foam pad these chemicals are somewhat more economical than pvp mixed with some dyes pigments and glycol based permanent inks the ink mixture is permanent on the cloth and other porous surfaces the basic mixture causes the ink dye or pigments to remain wet and in conveyable form in the substrate for extended periods of time however when applied to.
