“…Inks for fabric printing are usually classified into two categories, dyebased and pigment-based inks. The pigment-based inks type has become more popular because of its ability to give fuller and brighter shades without the need for any pretreatments as well as the better washing and light fastness and the applicability to all types of textile fabric substrates [6]. The pigment and binder are the principle ingredients in the pigment-based ink formulations of the textile inkjet printing.…”

“…The dispersion and polar component of the surface energy can accurately denote the wettability of untreated and pretreated fabrics . Compared with the untreated fabric, the dispersion and polar component of the surface energy for urea pretreated fabric was changed by −4.03 and the 7.58 mJ/m 2 , respectively.…”

Ink droplet spreading on fabric determines the printing accuracy of ink‐jet printing, and fabric pretreatment greatly affects the ink droplet spreading. In order to reveal the relationship between fabric pretreatment and printing accuracy of reactive dye ink on silk fabrics, the fabrics were pretreated by urea and sodium alginate to control the ink droplet spreading. Results showed that droplet spreading was influenced by surface energy, water absorbing capability and capillary distribution of the pretreatment agent on fabric surface. Urea acted as a moisture‐absorbing agent accelerating the migration of ink from the pretreatment paste to the silk fibers. Final diffusion image and diffused area of droplet on the pretreated fabrics were also investigated. The final image of droplet deposited on sodium alginate and urea pretreated fabrics were circular shape and crisscross shape, respectively. Compared with untreated fabric, results clearly demonstrated that sodium alginate could restrict the droplet spreading due to the diffused area reduced from 85 mm2 to 47–58 mm2. Moreover, urea and sodium alginate as the pretreatment agents were applied on ink‐jet penetration printing. The penetration printing exhibited good printing accuracy, and the color performance and printing accuracy almost the same between obverse side and reverse side of the printings. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…However, the transverse relaxation time T 2 of disperse ink can be divided into two parts: T 21 (0-14 ms) and T 22 (100-1400 ms). 32,33 The relaxation time distribution of disperse red, yellow, blue and black ink is 0-8 and 100-940 ms, 0-6 and 100-1200 ms, 0-14 and 117-1400 ms, and 0.19-5.25 and 95-934 ms, respectively. 31,32 When the relaxation time distribution of disperse ink is 0-14 ms, the state of water is bounded water.…”

This paper is concerned with the quality of lines and disperse ink in printing patterns on different untreated polyester fabric constructions. The lines running in the weft and warp directions were printed on polyester fabric constructions, and printing accuracy was assessed. Ink spreading is one of the important factors that influences the ink distribution. Thus, in order to acquire satisfactory ink-jet printing products, it is essential to control the spreading of ink on the polyester fabric. To meet these conditions, a series of chemicals (disperse dye 5.01 wt%, PVP-K30 0-2 wt%, DEG 5-20 wt%, water 64.17-79.17 wt%, etc) with different mass fractions was used to prepare disperse ink. The jetting behaviour of ink was related to its surface tension and viscosity, which was characterised by an automatic surface tensiometer and rotational viscometer. Line profile was used to evaluate the printing effect. Low field nuclear magnetic resonance and three-dimensional super depth digital microscopy were used to reveal the relationships between the state of water, ink diffusion behaviour and printing sharpness. The results showed that increasing ink viscosity or decreasing free water content is advantageous to improve the sharpness of the printing pattern.The effects of fabric structural parameters on line image quality are discussed. The printing quality was closely related to the weight and structure of fabric. The heavy weight fabrics had accurate print pattern sharpness. The fastness test results showed that the ink printing pattern had good colour fastness.How to cite this article: Gao C, Xing T, Hou X, Chen G.
