Copolymers of olefinically unsaturated monomers, wherein at least one of the monomers is an isomer mixture of a cyclic or polycyclic olefinically unsaturated compound, which mixture contains a mass fraction from 8 to 50 per cent of at least one isomer of the main component in addition to this main component. The copolymers are useful, for example, in coating compositions.

An apparatus for assisting in the removal or waste or excess ink and a method for disposal of ink from electrophotographic printers comprises providing electrophotographic ink from a source, combining the ink with an absorbable material in a container to form a solid within the container, and closing the container so that the container with the solid inside may be disposed of without ink flowing from the container.
