Set of compositions for ink jet textile printing and method for ink jet textile printing
View Patent ↗A set of compositions for ink jet textile printing includes an ink composition and a coating composition, the ink composition containing a pigment, resin particles, and water, and the coating composition containing resin particles and water. The resin particles contained in the ink composition contain any of a urethane resin, a polycarbonate resin, an acrylic resin, and a styrene resin. The amount of the resin particles in the ink composition is from 1 to 5 parts by mass on a solids basis per part by mass of the pigment on a solids basis. The Young's modulus of dried film of the ink composition is from 1 to 25 MPa, and that of dried film of the coating composition is 50 MPa or less and higher than that of dried film of the ink composition.
