Fabric printing device
A fabric printing device contains a supporting section on which a fabric can be installed and removed, having a supporting face for supporting an installed fabric from below; and an ink emitting section for emitting ink onto the fabric on said supporting face. The supporting section has a section in which the coefficient of static friction acting on the fabric in the central region of said supporting face is greater than the coefficient of static friction acting on the fabric in regions in the vicinity of the respective end sections of said supporting face in at least one direction thereof.
1. A fabric printing device comprising:
a supporting section on which a fabric can be installed and removed, having a supporting face for supporting an installed fabric from below; and
an ink emitting section for emitting ink onto the fabric on said supporting face;
wherein said supporting section has a section in which the coefficient of static friction acting on the fabric in the central region of said supporting face is greater than the coefficient of static friction acting on the fabric in regions in the vicinity of the respective end sections of said supporting face in at least one direction thereof.
2. The fabric printing device according to claim 1 , wherein in said supporting section, the coefficient of static friction acting on the fabric in the region of said supporting face other than the regions in the vicinity of said respective end sections is greater than the coefficient of static friction acting on the fabric in the region of said supporting face in the vicinity of said respective end sections.
3. The fabric printing device according to claim 2 , wherein in said supporting section, the coefficient of static friction acting on the fabric in the region of said supporting face other than the regions in the vicinity of said respective end sections is substantially uniform throughout said region.
4. The fabric printing device according to claim 1 , wherein in said supporting section a sheet-shaped member is adhered to or mounted on the region of said supporting face other than the regions in the vicinity of said respective end sections.
5. The fabric printing device according to claim 1 , wherein the regions in the vicinity of said respective end sections are regions extending from each end section to a position 1 mm-10 mm distant therefrom.
6. The fabric printing device according to claim 1 , wherein the upper portions of the respective end sections in at least one direction of said supporting face are formed with curved surfaces.
7. The fabric printing device according claim 1 , wherein said ink emitting section and said supporting section can be moved relative to each other.
