Abstract

A treatment liquid composition for dye printing according to the present disclosure is used in a state of being attached to a fabric and includes resin particles, a crosslinking agent, an organic solvent, and water, in which the organic solvent has an SP value of 13.5 or less, the organic solvent has a standard boiling point of 100° C. or higher, and the content of the organic solvent is 5% by mass or more with respect to the total amount of the treatment liquid composition.

Claims (72)

1 . A treatment liquid composition for dye printing used in a state of being attached to a fabric, the treatment liquid composition comprising:

resin particles;

a crosslinking agent;

an organic solvent; and

water,

wherein the resin particles include a polyester-based resin, and the polyester-based resin includes a carboxy group,

the organic solvent has an SP value of 13.5 or less,

the organic solvent has a standard boiling point of 100° C. or higher, and

the content of the organic solvent is 15% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less with respect to a total amount of the treatment liquid composition.

2 . The treatment liquid composition for dye printing according to claim 1 , wherein

the content of the organic solvent is 50% by mass or less with respect to the total amount of the treatment liquid composition.

3 . The treatment liquid composition for dye printing according to claim 1 , wherein

the organic solvent is at least one selected from the group consisting of a glycol, a glycol ether, and a nitrogen-containing solvent.

4 . The treatment liquid composition for dye printing according to claim 1 , wherein

the organic solvent includes one or more selected from the group consisting of triethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, and 2-pyrrolidone.

5 . The treatment liquid composition for dye printing according to claim 1 , wherein

the crosslinking agent includes an isocyanate group-containing compound.

6 . The treatment liquid composition for dye printing according to claim 5 , wherein

the isocyanate group-containing compound has an isocyanurate skeleton in a structure.

7 . The treatment liquid composition for dye printing according to claim 1 , wherein

a content of the resin particles is 1% by mass or more and 20% by mass or less in terms of solid content with respect to the total amount of the treatment liquid composition.

8 . The treatment liquid composition for dye printing according to claim 1 , wherein

a content of the crosslinking agent is 0.1% by mass or more and 5% by mass or less in terms of solid content with respect to the total amount of the treatment liquid composition.

9 . The treatment liquid composition for dye printing according to claim 1 , wherein

the fabric includes a fiber having a hydroxyl group.

10 . The treatment liquid composition for dye printing according to claim 1 , wherein

the treatment liquid composition is used for being attached to the fabric before the fabric is subjected to dye printing.

11 . A composition set comprising:

the treatment liquid composition for dye printing according to claim 1 ; and

an ink jet ink composition, wherein

the ink jet ink composition includes a disperse dye and water.

12 . A textile printing method comprising:

a treatment liquid composition attaching step of attaching the treatment liquid composition for dye printing according to claim 1 to a fabric.

13 . An ink jet textile printing method comprising:

a treatment liquid composition attaching step of attaching a treatment liquid composition for dye printing included in the composition set according to claim 11 to a fabric;

a drying step of drying the treatment liquid composition attached to the fabric, after the treatment liquid composition attaching step;

a discharge step of discharging the ink jet ink composition included in the composition set according to claim 11 from a recording head to attach the ink jet ink composition to an intermediate transfer medium; and

a transfer step of transferring the ink jet ink composition attached to the intermediate transfer medium to the fabric having the treatment liquid composition for dye printing attached thereto after the drying step.

14 . The textile printing method according to claim 13 , wherein

a drying rate represented by following Formula (1) in the fabric having the treatment liquid composition for dye printing attached thereto after the drying step is 50% or more and 90% or less:
