          polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylic acid, methyl cellulose,                      
          polyoxyethylene octylphenyl ether, or polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl           
          ether; wherein the anionic surfactant is selected in an amount of           
          from about 0.1 to about 10 weight percent based on the total                
          weight percent amount of monomers, anionic surfactant, and                  
          nonionic surfactant; wherein the nonionic surfactant is selected            
          in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 6 weight percent based on           
          the total weight percent amount of monomers, anionic surfactant,            
          and nonionic surfactant.                                                    
               20.  A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein the                  
          anionic surfactant is sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium                        
          dodecylbenzene sulfonate, sodium dodecyl naphthalene sulfate,               
          sodium dodecyl diphenyloxide disulfonate, or sodium N-decyl                 
          diphenyloxide disulfonate.                                                  
               21.  A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein the                  
          nonionic surfactant is selected in an amount of from about 0.1 to           
          about 6 weight percent based on the total weight percent amount             
          of monomer, anionic surfactant, and nonionic surfactant.                    
               22.  A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein the ink              
          vehicle is present in an amount of from about 50 to about 99                
          percent by weight, the colorant is present in an amount of from             
          about 1 to about 20 percent by weight, and the ionic sulfonate              
          latex polymer generated after polymerization is present in an               
          amount of from about 0.05 to about 20 percent by weight, and                
          which ink further includes a biocide present in an amount of from           
          about 0.1 to about 10 percent by weight, a humectant present in             
          an amount of from about 0.1 to about 50 percent by weight, a                
          polymeric additive present in an amount of from about 0.1 to                
          about 10 percent by weight, and a stabilizer additive present in            
          an amount of from about 0.1 to about 5 percent by weight, based             
          on the total amount of components in the ink and which total is             
          about 100 percent.                                                          
               23.  A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein the                  
          colorant is a dye.                                                          
               24.  A process in accordance with claim 1 wherein the
