Description

Description ィ Ink jet printer for printing and manufacturing method of printed matter

The present invention relates to an ink-jet printer, a method for producing printed matter using the ink jet printer, and a printed matter produced using the ink jet printer. In particular, the present invention relates to an ink jet printing suitable for ink jet printing on a fabric, a method for producing a printed product using the ink jet printing device for printing, and a printed product prepared using the printing printer. "Kyo technology

In the ink jet recording method, dots are formed by ejecting minute ink droplets from a recording head and attaching the droplets to a recording medium such as paper, thereby recording images and characters. It is used in various fields such as various printers, facsimile machines, and computer terminals because it has low noise, does not require processes such as development and fixing, and can easily perform full power recording, and is used for textile printing. Is also used.

When printing on fabric, if the ink is ejected from the recording head to form an image while holding and transporting the fabric with the driving roller and the driven roller, the fabric is compared to paper or film sheet. Therefore, since there is no so-called waist (rigidity), when the sheet is conveyed by such a driving roller and a driven roller, wrinkles are likely to occur, and thus, a formed image may be distorted or deformed.

Further, in order to suppress the occurrence of wrinkles, the back side of the cloth is positioned at a position facing the recording head. A method of providing a guide plate for adsorbing a cloth by air has been proposed. In particular, when a fabric that easily expands and contracts is used, it is not possible to uniformly convey the fabric because it is adsorbed, causing distortion and deformation of the image formed on the fabric. In some cases. In addition, these wrinkles and expansion and contraction are likely to occur as the width of the fabric is increased. On the other hand, in the ink jet recording system, there has been proposed a method of recording an image by ejecting ink while conveying a recording material by an endless belt. In this case, in order to obtain a uniform image, it is necessary to bring the recording material into close contact with the endless belt.

One method for this is to apply glue to an endless belt so that the recording material is in close contact.

However, if the adhesive force of the glue decreases, it is necessary to apply the glue again. Also, if the number of coatings increases, the thickness of the belt changes and the distance between the recording head and the recording material becomes uneven, making it impossible to obtain a stable image. Time and effort are spent. In addition, an organic solvent may be used to remove the paste, which may cause environmental problems.

As another method, JP-A-7-330185 and JP-A-2001-240702 include a part facing a recording head while conveying a recording material by an endless belt. By providing a device for generating an electrostatic attraction force on the inner peripheral side of the endless belt, a technique of ejecting ink while the recording material is in close contact with the endless belt has been proposed. However, the devices disclosed in these publications are not devices that sufficiently consider printing on fabric, and in the above-mentioned publication, the conveyor belt is made of synthetic resin or synthetic rubber of about 0.1 to 0.2 mm. Although an endless belt is described, if an endless belt made of these materials is used, the recording material being conveyed will be distorted due to the expansion and contraction of the conveyor belt during driving, resulting in a problem that a stable image cannot be formed. was there. This will be specifically described. When printing The recording material is stopped when printing one line in the direction (main scanning direction) perpendicular to the recording material transport direction (sub-scanning direction). When printing of one line is completed, the sub-scanning direction is moved by the width of the line. Transported to In that case, it is necessary to always repeat transport and stop by the same width. However, when the endless belt expands and contracts, the amount of movement varies, causing a so-called “ink-like” landing position shift, and a phenomenon of streaking in the lateral direction occurs. This problem is particularly serious when transporting the fabric. Also, these endless belts are not durable enough, and if the thickness is increased to obtain durability, the electrostatic attraction force will not be sufficiently transmitted to the recording material, and the recording material will adhere to the endless belt. Was difficult. Furthermore, when these techniques are applied to an ink jet printing method for fabric, particularly when a thin fabric or a coarsely-woven fabric is used as a recording material, ink passing through the fabric adheres to the transport belt, and the transport belt itself is removed. However, there is a problem that the back surface of the cloth is stained by deteriorating or re-adhering to the cloth.

As a result of intensive studies, the present inventor has found that when an ink jet printer for textile printing is used to convey a cloth, a glass cloth woven with glass fibers is used as an endless conveying belt to provide a sufficient conveyance belt. It has been found that durability and anti-stretch properties can be achieved and a stable image can be obtained. Furthermore, it has been found that, since a sufficient strength can be maintained even when the fabric is thin, the fabric can be efficiently brought into close contact with the endless belt by a device that generates an electrostatic attraction force.

However, particularly when a relatively thin or coarsely woven fabric is used as a recording material, the ink that has passed through the fabric penetrates into an endless belt made of glass cloth, and the material contained in the ink causes It has been found that conductivity occurs in the endless belt, the electrostatic attraction force against the fabric is reduced, and the electrostatic attraction force varies, thereby causing a problem that a stable image cannot be obtained. Also, on the surface of the endless belt It was also found that when the ink was attached and deposited, the distance between the recording head and the fabric became uneven, and a stable image could not be obtained. In addition, the ink adhered to the endless belt may adhere to the fabric again and stain the back surface of the fabric. Disclosure of the invention

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to bring a fabric into close contact with an endless belt by electrostatic attraction, and to make the transport belt have sufficient strength and strength. By satisfying the anti-expansion property and durability, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of wrinkles and expansion and contraction during the transport of the fabric, and to form a high-quality image without distortion and deformation, and at the same time, the ink passed through the fabric.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

The endless belt used in the transport unit of the present invention is an endless belt made of a glass cloth that has been subjected to a water-repellent treatment on at least a side on which a cloth is transported.

The glass cloth used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a glass cloth prepared by weaving glass fibers. As the glass fiber, a glass fiber produced by any production method such as a Marunolle melt method, a direct melt method, and a stable method can be used. Examples of the glass cloth include a plain woven ply-twisted yarn obtained by twisting several non-alkali glass long fibers (single fibers). In the glass cloth used in the present invention, the yarn density in the longitudinal and transverse directions is preferably 20 yarns / 25 mm or more, more preferably 30 yarns 25 mm or more, from the viewpoint of strength and durability.

The water repellent treatment is not particularly limited as long as the water repellency of the endless belt surface is improved, but it is preferable to apply a fluororesin or a silicone resin. In particular, fluororesin not only improves water repellency, but also further improves the durability and moisture resistance of glass cloth, and achieves a high volume resistivity and high surface resistivity, so that the electrostatic attraction force from the electrostatic attraction part can be improved. Is preferred because it can be stably transmitted to the fabric. Fluororesins include polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), perfluoroalkoxyalkane (PFA), perfluoroethylene propene copolymer (PFEP), polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE), ethylene tetratetraethylene Preference is given to fluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE), ethylene-chloride trifluoroethylene cobolimer (ECTFE) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), especially PTFE.

Further, as the endless belt of the present invention, an endless belt made of glass cloth coated on both surfaces with a fluororesin is preferable. By applying a fluororesin on both sides, not only the durability and moisture resistance are further improved, but also the frictional force between the electrostatic adsorption part where the back of the endless belt is in contact and the back of the endless belt. By reducing the driving torque and the driving torque of the driving roller, it is possible to suppress an increase in the size of the apparatus and an increase in manufacturing cost.

There is no particular limitation on the method of applying the fluororesin to the glass cloth, and conventionally known methods such as die coating, bead coating, curtain coating, and spray coating can be used. Coating is preferred. Specifically, the glass cloth is impregnated with a dispurgeon containing a fluororesin, water, and a small amount of a surfactant, and then dried and fired. By repeating these steps a predetermined number of times Therefore, a belt material having desired characteristics can be obtained.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an ink jet printer for textile printing equipped with an electrostatic attraction force generating device of the present invention and a transport mechanism using an endless belt.

According to FIG. 1, the ink jet printer for textile printing is a method in which the cloth 1 is suspended and rotated by rollers described below for transporting the fabric 1 in a transport direction in a close contact manner (a method for tightly attaching the fabric 1 will be described later). value 1 0 an endless belt 5 made of a glass cloth having the above ⁸ Omega (why a non-conductive material will be described later), the fabric supply device formed by winding a fabric 1 as rotatably held recording medium (former Winding) 1a, a recording head 2 that is located downstream of the original winding 1a in the transport direction of the fabric 1 and emits ink from a plurality of nozzles (not shown) to form an image on the fabric 1, and a recording head 2a. A carriage 3 for holding the carriage 2, a carriage rail 4 for guiding the carriage 3 when the carriage 3 is moved along a main scanning direction (perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 1) by a moving means (not shown), and a drive (not shown). Clock by means Drive roller 6 that rotates the endless belt 5 by rotating in the direction, a guide roller 7 that is rotatably provided by suspending the endless belt 5, and an endless belt 5 that is pressurized by urging means (not shown). The cloth 1 and the endless belt 5 are sandwiched between the drive roller 6 and the tension roller 9 which is rotatably supported by a suitable tension, and a predetermined pressure is applied by an urging means (not shown). An electrostatic chuck that is positioned so as to oppose the rotatable holding roller 10 with the recording head 2 via the endless belt 5 and is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the endless belt 5. It is mainly composed of a plate 12 (first electrostatic attraction force generating device) and a cleaning device 13 for removing dirt such as an ink adhered to the surface of the endless belt 5. With such a configuration, the following operation is realized in the ink jet printer for textile printing according to the present embodiment. The fabric 1 unwound from the original winding 1a is conveyed in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure, and is further conveyed together with the endless belt 5 by the driving roller 6 and the holding roller 10 (details of the conveyance will be described later). Do). Then, in accordance with the progress of the transport, the scanning of the carriage 3 and the ejection of the ink from the recording head 2 which are appropriately controlled are performed, so that the ink jet printing is performed on the cloth 3.

Next, conveyance of the fabric 1 using the endless belt 5 and the electrostatic attraction plate 12 which is a feature of the present invention will be described. First, FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the electrostatic attraction plate 12. FIG. 2 (a) is a top view of the electrostatic attraction plate 12, and FIG. 2 (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along a cutting line A-A shown in FIG. 2 (a). As shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), the electrostatic attraction plate 12 has a comb-shaped electrode plate 101 and a comb-shaped ground plate 1 on an insulating substrate 103. Numerals 02 are fixed in a nested state at an interval from each other, and a surface adsorption layer 104 made of a high dielectric substance is formed on the electrode plate 101 and the earth plate 102. The electrostatic attraction plate 12 is arranged as shown in FIG. 1 so that the surface adsorption layer 104 is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the endless belt 5.

Here, the electrostatic attraction force generated between the electrostatic attraction plate 12 and the fabric 1 will be described with reference to FIG. When a DC voltage is applied to the electrode plate 101 and the ground plate 102, a dielectric polarization phenomenon occurs in the surface adsorbing layer 104 to excite electric charges of different polarity, and as shown in FIG. At the top, it is negative (indicated as "one" in Figure 3), and at the top of the earth plate 102 it is positive (indicated as "ten" in Figure 3). Since the endless belt 5 of the present embodiment is made of a non-conductive material, a charge opposite to the charge of the surface adsorption layer 104 is generated on the cloth 1 on the endless belt 5 as shown in FIG. . Therefore, electrostatic absorption Electrostatic force is generated between the mounting plate 12 and the fabric 1 and is attracted (electrostatic attraction force). Here, if the endless belt 5 is not non-conductive, the electric charge generated in the surface attraction layer 104 flows through the endless belt 5 and the electrostatic attraction force as described above does not occur. Therefore, the endless belt 5 must remain non-conductive. Specifically, the surface resistance is non-conductive and is 10 ⁸ Ω or more, more preferably 10 ¹³ Ω or more. In order to realize such a surface resistance value, in the present embodiment, for example, a material in which a glass cloth woven with fiber woven with glass fiber is subjected to a treatment for increasing the water repellency of the surface is used. ing. In the present embodiment, the treatment for increasing the water repellency of the surface is performed by fluorine coating as a specific example.

An example of the belt material used for the endless belt used in the present invention will be specifically described.

After twisting long fibers made of non-alcoholic glass fiber into ply-twisted yarns, weaving them into a plain weave, the yarn density is 42 length Ζ 25 mm, 32 width / 25 mm, thickness 1 75 rn, mass 200 g / m ² Glass cloth was obtained. Using this glass cloth as a base material, a belt material was obtained by repeatedly impregnating a fluororesin (polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE) disposable, drying and firing to perform resin coating. The obtained belt material has a thickness of 240 ± 20 τη, a mass of 500 ± 65 g / m ² , a tensile strength in the vertical direction of 32 ON / cm or more, a tensile strength in the horizontal direction of 26 ON / cm or more, and a tear strength in the vertical direction of 1 The tear strength in the transverse direction was 14 N or more, and the rupture voltage value was 3.5 kV or more.

In this way, the fabric 1 is brought into close contact with the endless belt 5 by the electrostatic attraction force generated between the electrostatic attraction plate 12 and the fabric 1, and the drive roller 6 is driven to rotate the endless belt 5 in the transport direction. Then, the fabric 1 is given a force in the direction of the endless belt 5 by the electrostatic attraction force, so that a frictional force is generated between the fabric 1 and the endless belt 5, and the fabric 1 is an endless belt. Go with 5 As described above, since the cloth 1 is conveyed while being in uniform contact with the endless belt 5, wrinkling and expansion and contraction are suppressed. Therefore, an image formed on the fabric 1 is not distorted or deformed, and a good image can be obtained. In addition, since the conveyance of the fabric 1 by the electrostatic attraction force is not affected by the width of the fabric 1, it can be said that the width of the fabric 1 is more effective.

However, in order to uniformly and closely convey the paper, the electrostatic attraction force generated between the electrostatic attraction plate 12 and the fabric 1 must be sufficient. Since the electrostatic attraction force is a force that pulls electric charges, that is, a Coulomb force, it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.Since the distance is the thickness of the endless belt 5, in this embodiment, in order to obtain a sufficient frictional force, The thickness of the endless belt 5 is 1 mm or less, more preferably 0.2 mm or less. Further, in the case of a thin cloth or a coarsely-woven cloth, the ink ejected from the recording head 2 may pass through the cloth 1 and adhere to the endless belt 5. From the viewpoint of maintaining the quality of the image formed on the cloth 1, a cleaning device 13 for preventing the ink adhering to the endless belt 5 from adhering to the cloth 1 again is provided. As shown in FIG. 1, for example, the cleaning device 13 is wound with a water-absorbing member such as a sponge, and a part of the cleaning device 13 is a cleaning agent such as water stored in a cleaning agent tank 15. In FIG. 1, the cleaning roller 14 rotating clockwise is brought into contact with the endless belt 5 so that the excess cleaning agent can be squeezed by the squeezing roller 16 and the surface of the endless belt 5 is cleaned by the cleaning roller 14. May be used to clean the ink attached to the endless belt 5. Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the endless belt 5 is provided with the fluorine coating to enhance the water repellency, so that the attached ink is further cleaned.

Next, FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the ink jet printer for textile printing. No. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, a guide roller 8 is added in addition to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, so that the outer periphery thereof abuts on the endless belt 5 by urging means (not shown) or its own weight. Is held movably in the direction of the endless belt 5 by a holding means (not shown) so that the fabric 1 as a recording medium is fed out from the abutting portion, and the abutting portion between the original winding 1a and the endless belt 5 and It is located in the vicinity of the endless belt 5 and abuts against the inner peripheral surface of the endless belt 5, so that the endless belt 5 is sandwiched between the original winding 1a and the electrostatic attraction plate 1 1

(A second electrostatic attraction force generator). The same components as those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals. The electrostatic attraction plate 11 may have the same configuration as the electrostatic attraction plate 12 described with reference to FIG.

By the configuration shown in FIG. 4, the electrostatic attraction force is generated between the fabric 1 fed from the original winding 1a and the electrostatic attraction plate 11 and between the fabric 1 and the electrostatic attraction plate 12. Then, when the fabric 1 is brought into close contact with the endless belt 5 and the drive roller 6 is driven to rotate the endless belt 5 in the transport direction, a frictional force is generated between the fabric 1 and the endless belt 5 by electrostatic attraction. Then, the fabric 1 moves together with the endless belt 5 while being unreeled by the endless belt 5. As described above, the fabric 1 is fed out while being in close contact with the endless belt 5, so that wrinkles and expansion and contraction when being fed out are suppressed, and furthermore, wrinkles and expansion and contraction are suppressed, and the fabric 1 is kept in close contact with the endless belt 5. Since the sheet is conveyed, the image formed on the cloth 1 by the recording head 2 is not distorted or deformed, and a better image can be obtained. In addition, the conveyance of the fabric 1 by the electrostatic attraction force is not affected by the width of the fabric 1, so that it can be said that the width of the fabric 1 is further improved.

Further, FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of an ink jet pudding for textile printing. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the transport direction between the original winding 1a and the recording head 2 is set to be horizontal, so that the original winding 1a of the fabric 1 of the embodiment shown in FIG. And record head 2 06335

14 Two opposing electrostatic attraction plates 11 1 and 12 are composed of one electrostatic attraction plate 17. The electrostatic attraction plate 17 may have the same configuration as the electrostatic attraction plate 12 described in FIG. With this configuration, the cost of the device can be reduced.

In the above-described embodiment, a so-called scanning head that forms an image by ejecting ink while moving the recording head 2 in the main scanning direction has been described. A so-called line head having a nozzle in the entire image forming area may be used.
