Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a set of a processing fluid and inks, an image forming method, and an image forming apparatus.
- main printing items are pamphlets, catalogs, posters, and manuals.
- main printing items are labels, packages, textiles, and cardboard.
- various kinds of designs in small lots are preferred and used for product sales promotion.
- Examples of such various kinds in small lots include, but are not limited to, package printing for foods and daily necessities printed on nonabsorbable print media such as plastic films.
- package printing printed matters need a very high image quality because most of the printed matters on packages are seen at close range.
- the present disclosure has an object to provide a set of a processing fluid and inks that can provide a clear image with little color bleed.
- a set of a processing fluid and inks includes a processing fluid containing a flocculant, a non-white ink containing a coloring material other than a white color, and a white ink containing a white coloring material.
- a rate of initial increase of a particle diameter from start of mixing until after 20 seconds is 30 nm/second or greater.
- the present disclosure can provide a set of a processing fluid and inks that can provide a clear image without little color bleed.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view illustrating an example of an image forming apparatus of the present disclosure.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic view illustrating an example of a chart used for forming an image in Examples and including a solid image of a non-white ink in a solid image of a white ink.
- the set of a processing fluid and inks of the present disclosure includes a processing fluid containing a flocculant, a non- white ink containing a coloring material other than a white color, and a white ink containing a white coloring material.
- the rate of initial increase of the particle diameter from the start of mixing until after 20 seconds is 30 nm/second or greater. Because of this effect, the present disclosure can obtain a clear image with little color bleed. This is because the white ink aggregates at a high speed through a reaction with a multivalent metal salt, which is the flocculant contained in the processing fluid, and can be prevented from fluidizing on a non permeating print medium and can be fixed before color bleed occurs.
- a multivalent metal salt which is the flocculant contained in the processing fluid
- the rate of initial increase of the particle diameter from the start of mixing until after 20 seconds is 30 nm/second or greater, preferably 33 nm/second or greater, and preferably 70 nm/second or less in terms of storage stability.
- the 1% by volume aqueous solution obtained by diluting the white ink with water is prepared by adding water (99 mL) to the white ink (1 mL).
- the rate of initial increase of the particle diameter can be obtained by previously measuring the particle diameter of a 1% by volume aqueous solution obtained by diluting the white ink with water, and subsequently measuring, over time, the particle diameter of a resultant obtained by mixing a 1% by mass calcium acetate aqueous solution with the 1% by volume white ink aqueous solution. Specifically, the 1% by mass calcium acetate aqueous solution (0.5 mL) is mixed with the 1% by volume white ink aqueous solution (4 mL), and the rate of initial increase of the particle diameter is measured from the start of mixing until after 20 seconds.
- the particle diameter is measured by, for example, a cumulant method using a particle diameter measuring system (available from Otsuka Electronics Co., Ltd., ELSZ- 1000S).
- the 1% by volume white ink aqueous solution and the 1% by mass calcium acetate aqueous solution are mixed with each other, the particle diameter of the resultant is measured by a cumulant method at intervals of some seconds from the start of mixing, the particle diameter data are plotted to draw a straight line, and the rate of initial increase of the particle diameter (nm/second) can be calculated based on the slope of the linear approximation from the start of mixing (0 seconds) until after 20 seconds.
- the rate of initial increase of the particle diameter of the white ink based on the constituent components contained in the white ink. For example, by increasing the amount of a dispersant contained in a pigment dispersion liquid and a resin dispersion liquid, it is possible to improve the reactivity with calcium acetate to be mixed with the dispersion liquid, and increase the rate of initial increase of the particle diameter. It is also possible to adjust the rate of initial increase of the particle diameter based on the kind of the dispersant. By using a dispersant containing many anionic functional groups such as a hydroxyl group, it is possible to increase the rate of initial increase of the particle diameter. It is possible to use two or more kinds of dispersants in combination. By adjusting the mix proportion of the dispersants, it is possible to produce a white ink having a desired rate of initial increase of the particle diameter.
