Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an inkjet dyeing method.
  • An inkjet head that generates pressure in a pressure chamber by the operation of a pressure-imparting means to discharge an ink inside the pressure chamber from a nozzle is required to perform faster and higher-definition recording, and thus the number of nozzles and the number of nozzle rows have tended to be more and more increased.
  • there has been a problem of the increase of crosstalk where a pressure wave generated in a pressure chamber during discharge is propagated to other pressure chambers to destabilize droplet velocity (droplet volume).
  • the destabilization of the droplet velocity due the crosstalk occurs as a result of the following process: the pressure wave generated in the pressure chamber during discharge is propagated to a common ink chamber through the inlet side of the pressure chamber to affect other pressure chambers via the common ink chamber.
  • the pressure wave is also propagated to pressure chambers of other pressure chamber rows via the common ink chamber, and therefore it is important to suppress the crosstalk between the pressure chamber rows.
  • Patent Literature 1 discloses that a common ink chamber is halved by a separation wall between and along pressure chamber rows to prevent the propagation of a pressure wave from one pressure chamber row to the other pressure chamber row.
  • PTL 2 discloses that the wall surface of a common ink chamber facing the inlet of a pressure chamber is specified to have a predetermined value or lower of volume elasticity to thereby attenuate a pressure wave propagated into the common ink chamber, thus reducing crosstalk.
  • satellites are likely to be generated.
  • the mechanism by which the satellites are generated is not particularly limited, it is considered that satellites are likely to be generated, due to the inhibition of predetermined droplet formation by coarse particles, or due to high thixotropic index during high-speed continuous driving and low-speed intermittent driving causing applied voltage to be out of a proper range.
  • the present invention provides a means for enhancing the ejection stability of an inkjet head in an inkjet dyeing method with an ink containing a disperse dye.
  • the present invention reduces the frequency of occurrence of nozzle omission in inkjet dyeing with high ejection frequency.
  • the present invention relates to an inkjet dyeing method as set forth below:
  • the inkjet dyeing method of the present invention it is possible to suppress the generation of satellites and the occurrence of nozzle omission (phenomenon in which ink droplets fail to be discharged from a nozzle) leading to the enhancement of ejection stability. Therefore, it is possible to achieve a high-quality image at high ejection frequency (such as a solid image).

  • the ink used in the inkjet dyeing method of the present invention contains a disperse dye as a colorant.

That is, the phase difference nAL + t is imparted between different drive groups A and B at a timing of application of drive signals in the time period during which two drive groups are driven together. Thus, the timings per se at which droplets are discharged are different.

  • An inkjet printing method for performing printing on a cloth desirably winds the printed cloth after ink discharge, develops color with heating, and washes and dries the cloth.
  • satisfactory dyeing is not obtained only by performing printing on a cloth with an ink and merely leaving the ink printed on the cloth to stand.
  • printed cloth continues to be stacked on a floor or the like, and therefore it not only takes up space due to continuous discharge of the cloth, but also is insecure and causes a stain unexpectedly. For these reasons, it becomes necessary to perform a winding operation after printing. During this operation, a medium not involved in printing such as paper, fabric or vinyl, may be interposed between the clothes.
  • winding is not always necessary.

  • the carrier may be either adsorbed to fibers of a cloth to be used for inkjet printing in advance, or contained in an inkjet printing ink.
  • a washing step is necessary after the heating treatment, because the remaining of a dye not having been involved in dyeing deteriorates the stability of color to lower the fastness of the color. Further, it is also necessary to remove a pretreatment substance applied to the cloth. When the pretreatment substance is left as it is, not only the fastness is lowered, but also the cloth undergoes discoloration. Therefore, washing depending on substances to be removed or purposes is essential.
