Ink Jet Textile Printing Recording Method - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240287736 titled 'Ink Jet Textile Printing Recording Method

The abstract describes an ink jet textile printing method that involves attaching colored ink, treatment liquid, and non-colored ink droplets to fabric using an ink jet method. The main scanning is performed by moving the ink jet head perpendicular to the fabric's transport direction.

  • Colored ink, treatment liquid, and non-colored ink droplets are attached to the same scanning region of the fabric by the same main scanning.
  • The attachment amount of the polyvalent metal salt to the fabric is 0.3 (mg/inch) or more.
  • The content of the second resin particle in the non-colored ink composition is higher than the content of the first resin particle in the colored ink composition.
  • The attachment amount of the non-colored ink composition is smaller than the attachment amount of the colored ink composition.

Potential Applications: - Textile printing industry - Customized fabric design - Apparel manufacturing

Problems Solved: - Efficient and precise textile printing - Enhanced color vibrancy and durability - Improved adhesion of ink and treatment liquid to fabric

Benefits: - High-quality and long-lasting printed textiles - Increased production efficiency - Customization options for designers and manufacturers

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Ink Jet Textile Printing Method for Enhanced Fabric Design This technology can be used in textile printing companies, fashion design studios, and apparel manufacturing facilities to create unique and vibrant fabric designs efficiently.

Questions about Ink Jet Textile Printing Method: 1. How does the ink jet method improve the precision and efficiency of textile printing? The ink jet method allows for accurate placement of colored ink, treatment liquid, and non-colored ink droplets on the fabric, resulting in high-quality prints with vibrant colors.

2. What are the advantages of using polyvalent metal salt in the treatment liquid for fabric printing? Polyvalent metal salt helps improve the adhesion of the ink and treatment liquid to the fabric, enhancing color fastness and durability of the printed design.


Original Abstract Submitted

an ink jet textile printing recording method including a colored ink attachment step of attaching a liquid droplet of a colored ink composition containing a pigment and an anionic first resin particle to a fabric, a treatment liquid attachment step of attaching a liquid droplet of a treatment liquid containing a polyvalent metal salt to the fabric, and a non-colored ink attachment step of attaching a liquid droplet of a non-colored ink composition containing an anionic second resin particle to the fabric, the colored ink attachment step, in which the treatment liquid attachment step, and the non-colored ink attachment step are performed by an ink jet method, in the ink jet method, main scanning is performed for recording by moving an ink jet head in a direction perpendicular to a transport direction of the fabric, the colored ink composition, the treatment liquid, and the non-colored ink composition are attached to the same scanning region of the fabric by the same main scanning, an attachment amount of the polyvalent metal salt to the fabric is 0.3 (mg/inch) or more, a content of the second resin particle with respect to a total amount of the non-colored ink composition is higher than a content of the first resin particle with respect to a total amount of the colored ink composition, and an attachment amount of the non-colored ink composition is smaller than an attachment amount of the colored ink composition.
