  • Methods A and B in which the cloth was pretreated with a treating solution containing carboxymethyl cellulose, a water-soluble acrylic resin ( or a maleic acid resin ) and a water repellent gave printed cloth of very high quality compared to other methods.
  • a plain 100 % cotton fabric in which each of warp and weft was #50 single yarn, the warp density was 136 warps/inch and the weft density was 72 wefts/inch, was singed, desized, scoured, bleached and mercerized by usual methods.
  • the following treating solution was padded on the resultant cloth and squeezed to a pick-up of 70 % and dried at 120°C for 2 minutes.
  • TK Set 102 water-soluble polyester high molecular copolymer, fluff binder
  • Sodium bicarbonate diye fixing agent
  • Urea hydrootrope agent
  • Method A The same method as in Method A was carried out except that the pretreating solution in Method A was coated by a kiss roll applicator to 30 g/m2 on wet basis and dried at 120 °C for 2 minutes.
  • Method B The same method as in Method B was carried out except that no fluff binder (TK Set 102 ) was added to the pretreating solution and the space between the cloth and the nozzle of the ink jet printer was made to be 1.5 mm.
  • the surface fluff was measured by the following method.
  • a cloth platform X consisting of a stainless steel sheet of 20 cm long, 20 cm wide and 10 mm thick having a projection of 10 mm long, 100 mm wide and 5 mm thick in the center of its surface and a weight sheet Y of 15 cm long, 15 cm wide and 5 mm thick having a hole of 11 mm long and 101 mm wide were prepared.
  • a test cloth was placed on said cloth platform X and the weight sheet Y was fit on it so that said hole got said projection to fix the test cloth on said projection.
  • a single laser beam irradiation apparatus was set at the position of the fluff length to be measured and the laser beam was irradiated on the fluffs and the beam was moved horizontally.
  • the following treating solution was padded on the resultant cloth and squeezed to a pick-up of 70 % and dried at 120 °C for 3 minutes.
  • Sumifluoil EM-21 manufactured by Sumitomo Kagaku Kogyo Co.
  • Ammonium sulfate 1 part Water 98.7 parts
  • An ink consisting of 30 parts of a dye solution purified as follows, 20 parts of diethylene glycol and 50 parts of water was fed in n ink jet printer of pulse jet type and a continuous printing in 8 dos/mm was carried out on the cloth thus pretreated and the cloth was dried at 120 °C for 2 minutes and steamed by saturated steam at 102°C for 10 minutes, washed and dried.
  • the above-mentioned dye solution was prepared by purifying an acid dye ( CI Acid Red 289 ) in two steps as follows.
  • ES771 (amine exchanging group type phenolic resin manufactured by Sumitomo Kagaku Kogyo Co. ) was washed with water and converted to -OH type with sodium hydroxide and further washed with water. 450 g of the resultant adsorbing resin was added to a 15 % aqueous solution of said dye and the mixture was stood for 8 hours and then filtered to remove the resin and dried to purify the dye. The purification was repeated 5 times to decrease the contents of the anionic and nonionic surface active agents respectively to 0.015 % or lower on dye powder basis.
  • a 15 % aqueous solution of the dye purified above was prepared and the dye was further purified by using an RO Minitester ( made by Teijin Engineering Co., membrane: B-21 type, M.W.:1000 ). The purification was repeated 5 times to decrease the contents of calcium, potassium, phosphor and copper respectively to 0.01 % or lower on dye powder basis.
  • the dye was purified by only the method (1) of removing the surface active agents.
  • the dye contained 4.0 % sodium, 0.02 % calcium, 0.02 % potassium, 0.2 % phosphor and 0.2 % copper.
  • the dye was purified by only the method (2) of removing sodium and others.
  • the dye contained 0.03 % of the anionic surface active agent and 0.03 % of the nonionic surface active agent.
  • Method A using the dye purified in two steps of (1) and (2) gave small nondelivery number of ink and the product was excellent in jet stability to prepare a printed product of high quality.
  • dot dyeing units are formed in very small line along the fiber to a thickness of monofilament ( ca. 0.01 to 0.1 mm ) and to a longitudinal length of 0.3 mm or shorter. Therefore, a printed cloth of very natural appearance in which the yarns constituting the cloth are dyed in different colors as if each of them consists of different grandrelle yarn. As fine a line as 0.3 mm which could not obtained up to now can be dyed clearly in different colors and a product of exact stripe pattern or having gradation pattern of complex combination of a variety of colors can be prepared surely.
  • the dye does not penetrate to the back surface of the cloth and deposits on the front surface of the cloth clearly and thus a deep dyeing can be achieved.
