Abstract

There is provided an ink jet recording method for printing a pigment in which a pigment printing ink composition including at least pigment as a colorant is discharged from a nozzle opening as an ink droplet having an amount of the ink of the ink droplet of 9 ng or less with an average discharging speed V of 5 m/s or greater at a distance in the range of 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm in the direction from the nozzle opening to cloth, and whereby the pigment printing ink composition is adhered to the cloth.

Claims (37)

1. An ink jet recording method for printing a pigment,

wherein a pigment printing ink composition including at least one pigment as a colorant is discharged from a nozzle opening as an ink droplet having an amount of an ink of 9 ng or less with an average discharging speed of 5 m/s or greater at a distance in the range of 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm in a direction from the nozzle opening to a cloth, and the pigment printing ink composition is adhered to the cloth; and

after the pigment printing ink composition is adhered to the cloth, heat-treating the cloth to which the pigment printing ink composition is adhered by a heat press.

2. The ink jet recording method for printing a pigment according to claim 1 ,

wherein a distance between the nozzle opening and the cloth is in the range of 2.0 mm to 5.0 mm.

3. The ink jet recording method for printing a pigment according to claim 1 ,

wherein the amount of the ink of the ink droplet is 5.9 ng, and the average discharging speed is in the range of 5 m/s to 10 m/s.

4. The ink jet recording method for printing a pigment according to claim 1 ,

wherein a solid content of the pigment printing ink composition is 8% by mass or greater.

5. The ink jet recording method for printing a pigment according to claim 1 ,

wherein the pigment printing ink composition includes a resin dispersion.

6. The ink jet recording method for printing a pigment according to claim 1 ,

wherein the cloth includes cotton or a cotton blend.

7. The ink jet recording method for printing a pigment according to claim 1 ,

wherein a heating temperature is 150° C. or higher in the heat treatment.

8. The ink jet recording method for printing a pigment according to claim 1 ,

wherein an amount of the pigment printing ink composition adhering to the cloth is in the range of 10 mg/inch 2 to 70 mg/inch 2 .

9. The ink jet recording method for printing a pigment according to claim 1 ,

wherein a dot formation density of the pigment printing ink composition on the cloth is 720 dpi or greater×720 dpi or greater.

10. The ink jet recording method for printing a pigment according to claim 1 ,

wherein the pigment printing ink composition is any one of a color ink including a color pigment as the at least one pigment and a black ink including a carbon black pigment as the at least one pigment.

11. An ink jet recording apparatus,

wherein recording is performed by the ink jet recording method for printing a pigment according to claim 1 .

12. An ink jet recording apparatus,

wherein recording is performed by the ink jet recording method for printing a pigment according to claim 2 .

13. An ink jet recording apparatus,

wherein recording is performed by the ink jet recording method for printing a pigment according to claim 3 .

14. An ink jet recording apparatus,

wherein recording is performed by the ink jet recording method for printing a pigment according to claim 4 .

15. An ink jet recording apparatus,

wherein recording is performed by the ink jet recording method for printing a pigment according to claim 5 .

16. An ink jet recording apparatus,

wherein recording is performed by the ink jet recording method for printing a pigment according to claim 6 .

17. An ink jet recording apparatus,

wherein recording is performed by the ink jet recording method for printing a pigment according to claim 7 .

18. An ink jet recording apparatus,

wherein recording is performed by the ink jet recording method for printing a pigment according to claim 8 .
