Abstract

An ink jet recording method includes first attaching an ink composition to fabric so as to have an attached amount of 10 mg/inch2 to 30 mg/inch2, and second attaching the ink composition to the fabric so as to have an attached amount of 90 mg/inch2 to 250 mg/inch2, in which the ink composition includes a pigment and a resin dispersion, and a content of a resin included in the resin dispersion is 0.5 parts by mass to 2.5 parts by mass with respect to 1 part by mass of the pigment.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An ink jet recording apparatus comprising:
a controller;
a head unit; and
an ink composition,
wherein the controller is configured to instruct the head unit to perform first attaching of the ink composition to fabric so as to have an attached amount of 15 mg/inch 2 to 30 mg/inch 2 ;
the controller is configured to instruct the head unit to perform second attaching of the ink composition to the fabric so as to have an attached amount of 90 mg/inch 2 to 250 mg/inch 2 ; and
the ink composition is a white ink and includes a pigment and a resin dispersion, and a content of a resin included in the resin dispersion is 0.5 parts by mass to 2.5 parts by mass with respect to 1 part by mass of the pigment.

2. The ink jet recording apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the pigment includes inorganic metal fine particles, and
a content of the pigment is 5% by mass to 15% by mass with respect to a total amount of the ink composition.

3. The ink jet recording apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the resin included in the resin dispersion includes a resin having a glass transition temperature of −45° C. to 0° C.

4. The ink jet recording apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the resin dispersion includes one or more resins selected from the group consisting of an acrylic resin and a urethane resin, and
the content of the resin included in the resin dispersion is 3.5% by mass to 30% by mass with respect to the total amount of the ink composition.

5. The ink jet recording apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the content of the resin included in the resin dispersion is 1.0 part by mass to 2.5 parts by mass with respect to 1 part by mass of the pigment.

6. The ink jet recording apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the ink composition further includes an organic solvent having a boiling point of 250° C. or higher.

7. The ink jet recording apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the controller is configured to instruct the head unit to perform applying a reaction solution to at least a region of the fabric to which the ink composition is attached before the first attaching of the ink composition or the second attaching of the ink composition is performed.

8. The ink jet recording apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the controller is configured to instruct a head unit to perform a third attaching of an ink composition including one or more pigments selected from the group consisting of a color pigment and a black pigment to at least a part of the region of the fabric to which the white ink is attached in the second attaching.

9. The ink jet recording apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the controller is configured to instruct the head unit to perform the second attaching of the ink composition to fabric so as to have an attached amount of 100 mg/inch 2 to 250 mg/inch 2 .

10. The ink jet recording apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the content of the resin included in the resin dispersion is 2.5 parts by mass with respect to 1 part by mass of the pigment.
