Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A dye printing method and an ink capable of performing printing on more types of media than in the related art are shown. A dye printing method using ink 10 containing a solvent 11, and particles 12 of a thermoplastic resin dispersed in the solvent 11 and containing a dye 13 is characterized by including a printing process of performing a printing on a medium 20 with the ink 10, a particle fixing process of fixing the particles 12 to the medium 20 by drying the solvent 11 of the ink 10 ejected to the medium 20 by the printing process, and a resin fixing process of fixing the thermoplastic resin to the medium 20 by heating the particles 12 fixed to the medium 20 by the particle fixing process, at least at a glass-transition temperature or higher.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A dye printing method using ink including a solvent, and particles of a thermoplastic resin dispersed in the solvent and including a dye, wherein the dye is included in the particles of the thermoplastic resin in a state of not being uniformly dispersed, comprising: a particle fixing process of fixing the particles of the thermoplastic resin to the medium by drying the solvent of the ink ejected to the medium by the printing process; and a first resin fixing process of fixing the thermoplastic resin to the medium by heating the particles of the thermoplastic resin fixed to the medium by the particle fixing process at least at a glass-transition temperature or higher, wherein after the first resin fixing process, the particles of the thermoplastic resin are brought into a liquid state with a dye color developing process of uniformly dispersing the dye by heating, wherein after the dye color developing process, a second resin fixing process of cooling the thermoplastic resin to bring the thermoplastic resin to be re-solidified into a solid state and fixed to the medium. 2. The dye printing method according to claim 1 , wherein: the ink further comprises small particles of a thermoplastic resin dispersed in the solvent and having a particle diameter smaller than that of the particles. 3. The dye printing method according to claim 2 , wherein the small particles have a glass-transition point lower than that of the particles. 4. The dye printing method according to claim 2 , wherein the small particles are dyed in a color identical or similar to the color of the particles including the dye uniformly dispersed therein.
