See the specification for definitions of A, B, and C.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An overcoat liquid for inkjet textile printing, comprising:
particles of an anionic polyurethane;
particles of a wax;
a water-soluble organic solvent; and
water,
wherein a content of the particles of the anionic polyurethane is 4 mass % to 20 mass % relative to a total amount of the overcoat liquid,
a content of the particles of the wax is 0.1 mass % to 3 mass % relative to the total amount of the overcoat liquid, and
a content of the water-soluble organic solvent satisfies formula (1) in units of mass %:
0.7× A+ 0.8× B+C< 20  (1)

A: a content of a water-soluble organic solvent having a boiling point of 200° C. or lower relative to the total amount of the overcoat liquid,
B: a content of a water-soluble organic solvent having a boiling point of higher than 200° C. and 250° C. or lower relative to the total amount of the overcoat liquid, and
C: a content of a water-soluble organic solvent having a boiling point of higher than 250° C. relative to the total amount of the overcoat liquid,
wherein a ratio of the content of the particles of the anionic polyurethane to the content of the particles of the wax is 25 to 50 on a mass basis.

2. The overcoat liquid for inkjet textile printing according to claim 1 , wherein the anionic polyurethane has a carboxy group.

3. The overcoat liquid for inkjet textile printing according to claim 1 , wherein the anionic polyurethane has a carbonate structure.

4. The overcoat liquid for inkjet textile printing according to claim 1 , wherein the wax is a polyethylene wax.

5. The overcoat liquid for inkjet textile printing according to claim 1 , wherein the water-soluble organic solvent is a glycol compound.

6. The overcoat liquid for inkjet textile printing according to claim 1 , further comprising a crosslinking agent.

7. The overcoat liquid for inkjet textile printing according to claim 6 , wherein the crosslinking agent is a blocked isocyanate.

8. The overcoat liquid for inkjet textile printing according to claim 1 , further comprising, as a thickener, a polyethylene glycol having a weight-average molecular weight of 4000 or more, or a block polymer formed from a polyethylene glycol and a polypropylene glycol that have a weight-average molecular weight of 4000 or more.

9. The overcoat liquid for inkjet textile printing according to claim 8 , wherein a content of the thickener is 0.01 mass % to 2 mass % relative to the total amount of the overcoat liquid.

10. An ink set for inkjet textile printing, comprising:
the overcoat liquid for inkjet textile printing according to claim 1 ; and
a color ink.

11. An inkjet textile printing method comprising:
jetting a color ink onto a fabric by an inkjet recording method; and
jetting, by an inkjet recording method, the overcoat liquid for inkjet textile printing according to claim 1 onto the fabric onto which the color ink has been jetted.

12. The inkjet textile printing method according to claim 11 , wherein in the jetting, by an inkjet recording method, the overcoat liquid for inkjet textile printing, the overcoat liquid for inkjet textile printing is jetted using an inkjet recording apparatus having a liquid circulation mechanism configured to circulate the overcoat liquid for inkjet textile printing between a liquid tank and an inkjet head.

13. The inkjet textile printing method according to claim 11 , wherein in the jetting, by an inkjet recording method, the overcoat liquid for inkjet textile printing, the overcoat liquid for inkjet textile printing is jetted by a single pass system.
