A writable matte article comprising a water-absorbing layer coated on a substrate. The water absorbing layer is a unique blend of a crosslinked, water absorbing polymer particle, a water insoluble binder polymer with good adhesion to the film, and optionally, inert organic or inorganic particles that impart a matte finish to the coating. Advantageously, drying times of these inks using the present invention is reduced from about 10 minutes to 10 seconds. Preferred films are polyester and polyolefin-based films. |
