The present invention relates to an ink-soluble composition, the composition comprising (a) a filler; (b) a binder having a Tg of less than 30 ° C; And (c) a cationic polymer, wherein when the composition is coated on the member 42 to produce an ink printable article, it forms an ink-water-soluble layer 41 that accommodates an ink loading of greater than about 300%. Ink printable articles are printed with inkjet inks. The coating composition provides a printable surface that accommodates high loadings of inkjet inks that do not crack at more than 300% loading, and in one embodiment do not crack up to about 400% loading. The printed article shows excellent liquid resistance, the print quality of the ink is improved, and a reduction in column bleeding occurs. The printed article has good outdoor durability, especially when the overlaminate 43 is placed on the article. |
