Definitions
- the present invention relates to an energy ray curable inkjet ink composition. Especially after curing, such as marking films used for decorations such as vehicles, ships, signboards, building walls, etc., with three-dimensional surfaces such as irregularities and curved surfaces, and three-dimensional three-dimensional display members on which printed matter is three-dimensionally formed after printing
- the present invention relates to an ink-jet ink composition suitable for uses in which stretchability is required for a printed film.
- a marking film for example, a car wrapping film used for decoration of a vehicle or the like, generally forms a decorative print film with ink on one side of a polymer substrate made of a vinyl chloride resin sheet or the like, and adheres to the other side. It is produced by laminating release sheets via layers.
- Such a marking film can be directly attached to an object to be decorated such as a vehicle, and is excellent in workability. Therefore, the marking film is becoming popular as an alternative to the conventional marking method by painting.
- a three-dimensional display member such as an electric signboard is manufactured by printing a printed film made of various characters and images on a base material and then three-dimensionally forming a printed matter with a molding machine.
- the release sheet is peeled off and the adhesive layer is attached to the surface of the object to be decorated. Since the surface of the film has a three-dimensional shape such as irregularities and curved surfaces, the marking film is likely to be wrinkled, and air is likely to enter between the marking film and the object to be decorated. For this reason, it is necessary to affix a marking film on the surface of a to-be-decorated body, and a printing film may be extended
- the printed film may be stretched together with the base material by bending at the time of forming. Therefore, in these applications, there is a demand for ink that does not cause cracking or peeling even when the printing film is stretched by, for example, 130% or more.
- a plate making process is not required, and a printing method using an ink jet method suitable for a small amount of various types of variable printing is used. It is necessary to use an ink having liquid properties suitable for printing and excellent in continuous discharge properties. From the above viewpoint, in order to satisfy the stretchability of the printing film and the continuous ejection property in the ink jet system, a low-viscosity, stretchable water-based or solvent-based ink-jet ink using a dye or pigment as a coloring material is mainly used. It is used.
- water-based ink-jet inks tend to cause poor image formation due to poor adhesion of ink droplets when printed on a non-water-absorbing substrate such as a polymer substrate.
- the marking film is used outdoors, but the water-based inkjet ink is inferior in water resistance.
- solvent-based ink-jet inks are excellent in printability and water resistance on non-water-absorbing substrates such as polymer substrates, but it takes time to dry because the ink needs to be dried after printing.
- an exhaust system and a solvent recovery mechanism for volatilizing the organic solvent must be provided.
- solvent-free energy-ray-curable ink-jet inks that cure ink with energy rays such as ultraviolet rays have been developed as industrial ink-jet inks (for example, patents) No. 3619778).
- energy ray curable ink jet ink radicals are generated by irradiation of energy rays and polymerization is started, so that the polymerization reaction proceeds very quickly and has excellent curability.
- a solvent since a solvent is not used, it is excellent in the adhesiveness to a base material and quick-drying, and hardly causes environmental pollution.
- the energy beam curable inkjet ink may be used instead of the water-based or solvent-based inkjet ink. Since the print film is cured by the polymerization reaction of the polymerizable compound, it is necessary to use a polymerizable compound having as good a curing property as possible. Therefore, a hard material having no stretchability as proposed in Japanese Patent No. 3619778 is proposed. There has been a need for printed films. Therefore, a printing film formed using such an energy beam curable inkjet ink is basically not stretchable, and the printing film is easily cracked or peeled off by stretching.
- Japanese Patent No. 3619778 even in the energy ray curable inkjet ink disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 3619778, the printing film is used in an application in which the printing film is stretched 130% or more together with the base material after curing of the marking film or the three-dimensional display member. The occurrence of cracks and peeling cannot be suppressed.
- solvent resistance against alcohol or the like is also required, but Japanese Patent No. 3619778 does not discuss such solvent resistance at all.
- Japanese Patent No. 3619778 it is necessary to use a polyfunctional monomer (bifunctional monomer) as a reactive diluent in order to form adhesiveness, scratch resistance, and a continuous print film (Japanese Patent No. 3619778).
- 2004-131725 cannot obtain sufficient curability and adhesiveness by such low energy irradiation means. .
