A compound of formula (1), and compositions containing a plurality of such compounds, wherein, independently at each occurrence, R.sup.1 is a linear alkyl group having at least twenty carbons; R.sup.2 is selected from the diradical that results when two carboxyl groups are removed from polymerized fatty acid, and a linear C.sub.4-12 hydrocarbon group, with the proviso that at least one occurrence of R.sup.2 is the diradical that results when two carboxyl groups are removed from polymerized fatty acid; R.sup.3 is a diradical selected from C.sub.2-36 hydrocarbons and C.sub.4-30 poly(alkyleneoxides); X is selected from O and NH such that X--R.sup.3 --X is selected from O--R.sup.3 --O and NH--R.sup.3 --O; and n represents a number of repeating units selected from 1-5, may be used as a vehicle for hot melt printing inks, including inks for ink jet printing. ##STR1##
