- the different color printing unit 1 uses characters having a relatively small width (that is, the width of each character of the character string "sugar-added electrolyte solution (maintenance solution)" as color 1), but visually, color 1 and its characters are used as color 1. No bleeding was observed between the background and the background (judgment A), and no clearance could be confirmed (judgment A). This can be seen from Fig. 1 which can be said to be a close distance and Fig. 2 of the enlarged photograph.
- the clearance set at the time of printing is not conspicuous at all, but when observed with a microphotograph at a higher magnification, a slight clearance (gap between the character string and its background) is observed.
- a slight clearance (gap between the character string and its background) is observed.
- Different color printing unit 2 Similarly, a close-up photograph of the different color printing unit 2 is shown in FIG. 3, and a micrograph (20 times, black background) is shown in FIG.
- the different-color printing unit 2 uses color 1 for characters having a medium width (that is, the width of each character in the character string "infusion"), but visually, bleeding between the color 1 and its background. Was not seen at all (judgment A), and clearance could hardly be confirmed (judgment B). That is, even in FIG. 3 of the close-up photograph, a clear clearance could not be confirmed between the color 1 (character string) and the background, and the clear clearance was finally recognized in FIG. 4 of the enlarged photograph. ..
- Different color printing unit 3 Similarly, a close-up photograph of the different color printing unit 3 is shown in FIG. 5, and a micrograph (20 times, white background) is shown in FIG.
- the different color printing unit 3 uses a character having a relatively large width [that is, the width of each character (number, alphabet) of the character string "1000 mL”) as color 1, but visually, the color 1 and its background are used. No bleeding was observed during this period (judgment A), and almost no clearance could be confirmed (judgment B). That is, even in FIG. 5 of the close-up photograph, a slight clearance can be confirmed in some places between the color 1 (character string) and the background, and a clear clearance is finally recognized in FIG. 6 of the enlarged photograph. ..
- Different color printing unit 4 As for the different color printing unit 4 (bar code), no bleeding was visually observed between the color 1 (bar code bar) and its background (judgment A), and no clearance could be confirmed (judgment A). ). The fact that the clearance could not be confirmed visually is considered to be related to the fact that the background color was white.
- the different color printing unit 4 was recognizable when it was confirmed whether or not it could be recognized as a barcode by the above-mentioned method.
- the different color printing portions 1 to 4 did not fall off. Further, in the infusion bag after high-pressure shower sterilization, the different color printing portions 1 to 4 were rubbed strongly with a finger, but they did not fall off. Further, the different color printing portions 1 to 4 were wiped with a cloth soaked in ethanol, but the same did not occur.

印刷基材は、基材上に印刷部(塗膜、被膜)を備えている。換言すれば、印刷基材は、基材と、この基材上に形成され(設けられ)た印刷部とを有する。
基材(記録媒体、被印刷媒体)としては、例えば、プラスチック、金属、木材、紙等が挙げられ、これらを組み合わせた基材であってもよい。
また、フィルム状の基材は、積層フィルムであってもよく、袋状(チューブ状、チューブフィルム、インフレーションフィルム)等であってもよい。
具体的な方法としては、ぬれ張力試験用混合液で綿棒等の先を浸漬し、その綿棒にて被印刷物の表面を濡らす。液が2秒後程度でもある程度広がっている領域・液がはじいてしまう領域を番手違いの混合液で調べていく方法等が挙げられる。
印刷部(異色印刷部)は、通常、インク(インク組成物)により形成される。
カラーインクに含まれる着色剤(色剤)としては、白色系の着色剤、非白色系の着色剤(イエロー、シアン、マゼンタ、ブラック、グレー、レッド、オレンジ、グリーン等)のいずれも使用できる。
例えば、水性インクにおいて、水の割合は、例えば、20質量%以上(例えば、30~90質量%)、好ましくは40質量%以上(例えば、45~80質量%)、さらに好ましくは50質量%以上(例えば、50~75質量%)であってもよい。
カラーインクは、クリアインクと組み合わせてもよい。このような組み合わせにより、カラーインク及びクリアインク(カラーインクとクリアインクとのインクセット)で印刷部(異色印刷部)が形成される。
例えば、水性インクに含まれる溶媒は、少なくとも水で構成してもよく、必要に応じて有機溶媒(水溶性有機溶媒)を含んでいてもよい。
例えば、水性インクにおいて、水の割合は、例えば、20質量%以上(例えば、30~90質量%)、好ましくは40質量%以上(例えば、45~80質量%)、さらに好ましくは50質量%以上(例えば、50~75質量%)であってもよい。
印刷基材は、前記の通り、基材に印刷部を備えており、この印刷部は少なくとも異色印刷部を含む。
樹脂及び着色剤の総量に対する樹脂の割合の上限値は、例えば、95質量%、90質量%、85質量%、80質量%、75質量%、70質量%等であってもよい。
具体的な樹脂(樹脂成分)及び着色剤の総量に対する樹脂(樹脂成分)の割合としては、例えば、10~95質量%、30~90質量%、50~80質量%等が挙げられる。
なお、樹脂量を増やすには、前記の通り、クリアインクの使用が好都合であるが、本発明では、このようなクリアインクを使用しても、前記のように、異なる色間でのにじみを効率よく抑えることができる。
解像度の上限値は、例えば、1200dpi、1000dpi、800dpi、600dpi等であってもよい。
具体的な解像度としては、例えば、50~1200dpi、200~1000dpi、300~800dpi等が挙げられる。
なお、色の幅の上限値は、特に限定されず、印刷基材の使用目的等に応じて適宜選択できるが、例えば、50000μm、30000μm、10000μm、8000μm、5000μm、4000μm、3000μm等であってもよい。
また、色の幅の下限値も、同様に印刷基材の使用目的等に応じて適宜選択できるが、例えば、10μm、20μm、30μm、50μm、80μm、100μm等であってもよい。
具体的な色の幅の範囲は、上記下限値・上限値を適宜組み合わせたもの、例えば、100~10000μm等が挙げられる。
具体的なクリアランスの幅としては、例えば、3~2000μm、10~1000μm、20~500μm、30~400μm、50~300μm、100~200μm等が挙げられる。
一方、クリアランスが目立たないようにするには、クリアランスの幅は0に近いほど良いと考えられる。しかし、複数の異色印刷部の全部において、総じて第1の態様のように実質的にクリアランスが確認できないように印刷するためには煩雑な印刷設定が必要となったり、一部の異色印刷部において混色(にじみ)が生じる可能性がある。また、クリアランスの幅は、多少の有限値であっても、クリアランスの存在が目立たない(例えば、少なくとも目視ではクリアランスの有無がほぼ確認できない)場合がある。そのため、クリアランスの幅は、大きすぎない範囲で有限値であるのが、現実的である。
具体的な異色印刷部のクリアランスの幅は、印刷において設定したクリアランスの幅を1とするとき、例えば、0.1~0.99、0.2~0.98、0.3~0.97、0.4~0.96等が挙げられる。
B/Aの値の下限値としては、例えば、0.005、0.01、0.015、0.02、0.03、0.05、0.08、0.1、0.15、0.2、0.3、0.4、0.5等が挙げられる。
具体的なB/Aとしては、例えば、0.005~7、0.01~5、0.15~3、0.2~2等が挙げられる。
模様としては、特に限定されず、基材(印刷基材)の用途、その表示目的等に応じて選択でき、例えば、文字(例えば、ひらがな、カタカナ、漢字、アルファベット等)、数字(例えば、アラビア数字、ローマ数字等)、図形等が挙げられる。
図形は、バーコード、2次元コード等のパターン状(図形パターン)であってもよい。
印刷基材は、基材に印刷部を形成(記録)することで得られる。
なお、前記のように、クリアランスが生じるように(クリアランスを設けるように設定して)印刷しても、異なる色インクが互いの色間に向かって若干広がる場合があり、このような場合の中でも、クリアランスの大きさ(幅)と広がりの大きさ(幅)が同じになると、異なる色インクが互いの色間に迫って広がりながらも、にじみは生じず、(見かけ上)異なる色間にクリアランスが存在しない異色印刷部が形成される(第1の態様の異色印刷部)。
このような場合、搬送速度は、基材の種類等に応じて適宜選択でき、例えば、1~20m/分(例えば、2~15m/分、3~12m/分)等であってもよい。
インクの吐出量の上限値は、1滴(ドット)あたり、例えば、50pL、30pL、20pL、15pL等であってもよい。
設定クリアランスの幅の下限値は、例えば、3μm、5μm、7μm、10μm、15μm、20μm、30μm、50μm等であってもよい。
そのため、設定クリアランスの幅は、実クリアランスの幅と同じであってもよく、実クリアランス(所望のクリアランス)の幅より大きくしてもよい。このように大きくする場合、その程度は、想定されるインクの広がりや所望のクリアランスの幅等に応じて選択でき、特に限定されない。
その他、設定クリアランスの幅を、実クリアランスの幅の1倍超[例えば、1.001倍以上(例えば、1.005倍以上)、1.01倍以上(例えば、1.02倍以上)、1.05倍以上(例えば、1.07倍以上)、1.08倍以上、1.1倍以上等]としてもよく、実クリアランスの幅の5倍以下(例えば、4倍以下、3.5倍以下、3倍以下、2.5倍以下、2倍以下、1.8倍以下、1.5倍以下、1.3倍以下、1.2倍以下、1.1倍以下、1.05倍以下等)としてもよい。
B/Aの値の下限値としては、例えば、0.005、0.01、0.015、0.02、0.03、0.05、0.08、0.1、0.15、0.2、0.3、0.4、0.5等が挙げられる。
具体的なB/Aとしては、例えば、0.005~7、0.01~5、0.15~3、0.2~2等が挙げられる。
前記のように、異なる色インクの少なくともいずれか一方のインク(特に両方のインク)が互いの色間に向かって広がると、印刷時に設定した色の幅[例えば、ピクセル数に対応する幅(長さ)]は、印刷部において大きくなるが、このことは、実クリアランスが、設定クリアランスよりも小さくなることにつながる。
このような場合、印刷時に設定した色の幅(以下、設定色幅等ということがある)をC1、異色印刷部における色の幅[以下、(設定色幅に対して)実色幅等と言うことがある)]をC2とするとき、これらの差[C2(実色幅C2)-C1(設定色幅C1)]は、例えば、0.5μm以上(例えば、0.8μm以上、1μm以上、1.5μm以上、2μm以上、2.5μm以上、3μm以上、3.5μm以上、4μm以上、4.5μm以上、5μm以上)等であってもよく、300μm以下(例えば、280μm以下、250μm以下、200μm以下、180μm以下、150μm以下、120μm以下、100μm以下、80μm以下、70μm以下、50μm以下等)であってもよい。
印刷基材は、基材の種類や態様に応じてそのまま各種用途に利用してもよく、必要に応じてさらに成形(加工)して所望の成形品を得ることもできる。
例えば、基材がプラスチックフィルム(インフレーションフィルム等)である印刷基材は、熱融着工程、裁断工程、ポート(内容物の充填口)取付工程等を経て、ソフトバッグ(医療用ソフトバッグ)に成形できる。
例えば、前記輸液バッグに加工する例では、高圧滅菌処理等を経ることで、印刷部(異色印刷部)が脱落しやすくなる。
その他、印刷部の固定が十分でないと、薬品(例えば、エタノール等のアルコール)の接触により、脱落が生じやすくなる。
特開2020-19180号公報の実施例に記載されたインク1~4、8を作成して、カラーインクとして使用した。また、特開2020-19180号公報の実施例に記載されたインク9を作成して、クリアインクとして使用した。

ぬれ試薬として、ぬれ張力試験用混合液(富士フィルム和光純薬製等)を用いた。No35のぬれ張力試験用混合液に綿棒を浸漬し、被印刷物に綿棒に付いた液を塗り付け、2秒後まで濡れている場合は、その数値のぬれ張力があるとする。

印刷基材(バーコード部分)の上部20cm程度にキーエンス製SR2000を置き、撮像・読取を行う。なおSR2000はキャリブレーションシートの検証機での検証値(モジュレーション・デコーダビリティ・デフェクト)と最も近い検証値が出るように機器の調整を行った。モジュレーションが25%以上、デコーダビリティが37%以上、デフェクトが30%未満の時、認識可とする。
概ね40cmの距離から目視で観察し、にじみ、クリアランスのそれぞれを下記の基準にて判定した。

B:ほぼ確認できない
C:確認できるが、目立たない
D:目立って確認できる
標記判定を30人にて行い、最も多かった判定を目視判定結果とした。
(印刷基材の製造)
原反ロールから、インフレーション成型したチューブ状のフィルム(ポリブチレンテレフタレートとオレフィン系樹脂との積層フィルム)の内面のエアを抜いて巻いてあるフィルムを、印刷面(積層フィルムのうち、ポリブチレンテレフタレートの面(濡れ張力38dyn/cm))を上にした状態で、無地透明の帯状フィルムをバッファ用ロールに送り出して、搬送させつつ、インクジェット法により印刷部を形成した。
また、クリアインクは往路においてカラーインク吐出部(復路においては吐出予定部)に対して吐出されるものであり、フィルム全体に吐出されるものではない(カラーインクが吐出されない場所にはクリアインクも吐出されない)。
異色印刷部1
得られたフィルムのうち、異色印刷部1について、接写した写真を図1、顕微鏡写真(20倍、背景黒地)を図2に示す。

同様に、異色印刷部3について接写した写真を図5、顕微鏡写真(20倍、背景白地)を図6に示す。
異色印刷部4(バーコード)についても、目視では、色1(バーコードのバー)とその背景との間に、にじみは全くみられず(判定A)、クリアランスも確認できなかった(判定A)。目視でクリアランスが確認できなかったのは、背景の色が白であったことも関連しているものと考えられる。
得られた印刷後のフィルムにおいて、輸液バッグの4辺となる位置を熱溶着した(ただし、ポート取付位置は熱溶着しなかった)。熱溶着工程後、輸液バッグとなるよう裁断し、ポート取付位置に樹脂製のポートを熱溶着により取り付けた。
また、高圧シャワー滅菌後の輸液バッグにおいて、異色印刷部1~4を指で強くこすったが、脱落を生じることはなかった。
