The present invention relates to ink compositions. More particularly, the present invention relates to ink compositions comprising a colorant and a polymeric binder having a below ambient glass transition temperature, an average particle diameter above about 200 nm and an acid component ranging from about 1% to about 10% by weight of the polymeric binder. Additionally, the present invention has the novel and useful feature of resistance to both wet-rub and dry smear as well as increased highlighter resistance and decreased occurrences of maintenance problems such as clogging and kogation. |
