Abstract

Provided is a recording liquid set including: a pretreatment liquid containing a cationic component, a resin, and water; and an aqueous white inkjet ink containing a white-colored colorant, an organic solvent, and water, wherein the aqueous white inkjet ink has a static surface tension of 20 to 40 mN/m at 25° C., the aqueous white inkjet ink has a static surface tension at 25° C. that is greater than a static surface tension at 25° C. of the pretreatment liquid, and an amount of the white-colored colorant in the aqueous white inkjet ink is 15 to 100 times an amount of the cationic component in the pretreatment liquid.

Claims (27)

1. A recording liquid set, comprising:

a pretreatment liquid; and

an aqueous white inkjet ink, wherein

the pretreatment liquid contains a cationic component, a resin (excluding water-soluble cationic polymers) (PP), and water,

the cationic component is a polyvalent metal ion and/or a water-soluble cationic polymer,

the aqueous white inkjet ink contains a white-colored colorant, an organic solvent (WS), and water,

the aqueous white inkjet ink has a static surface tension of 20 to 40 mN/m at 25° C.,

the aqueous white inkjet ink has a static surface tension at 25° C. that is greater than a static surface tension at 25° C. of the pretreatment liquid, and

when an amount of the white-colored colorant in the aqueous white inkjet ink is MWC (% by mass) and an amount of the cationic component in the pretreatment liquid is MPC (% by mass), a value represented by MWC/MPC is 15 to 100.

2. The recording liquid set according to claim 1 , wherein the aqueous white inkjet ink is for a wet-on-wet printing method.

3. The recording liquid set according to claim 1 , wherein the cationic component contains a calcium ion.

4. The recording liquid set according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of the white-colored colorant is 13% to 25% by mass of a total amount of the aqueous white inkjet ink.

5. The recording liquid set according to claim 1 , wherein

the pretreatment liquid further contains 1,2-propanediol, and

the organic solvent contained in the pretreatment liquid has a boiling point (weighted average value) of 120 to 220° C.

6. The recording liquid set according to claim 1 , wherein

the organic solvent (WS) contains 1,2-propanediol, and

the organic solvent (WS) has a boiling point (weighted average value) of 120 to 200° C.

7. A method for producing a printed matter using the recording liquid set according to claim 1 , the method comprising, in this order:

step (1) of applying the pretreatment liquid on a substrate; and

step (2) of printing the aqueous white inkjet ink using an inkjet method on a surface of the substrate obtained in step (1) on which the pretreatment liquid is applied.

8. The method for producing a printed matter according to claim 7 , wherein

the aqueous white inkjet ink is printed on the pretreatment liquid in a wet state.

9. A printed matter that is produced using the method for producing a printed matter according to claim 7 .

10. The recording liquid set according to claim 5 , wherein

the organic solvent (WS) contains 1,2-propanediol, and

the organic solvent (WS) has a boiling point (weighted average value) of 120 to 200° C.
