Disclosed is a process for preparing a tetra-amide which comprises carrying out a condensation reaction between a diacid, a monoacid, and a diisocyanate, thereby forming a tetra-amide. Also disclosed is a process for preparing a phase change ink composition which comprises (a) carrying out a condensation reaction between a diacid, a monoacid, and a diisocyanate, thereby forming a tetra-amide; and (b) admixing the tetra-amide thus formed with a colorant, thereby forming a phase change ink. |
