Abstract

Provided are an image recording method including: subjecting a recording substrate to a surface treatment by irradiating an image recording surface of the recording substrate with light from excimer emission using a xenon gas, the recording substrate being an aggregate of non-absorbent or low-absorbent fiber materials; and applying an ink composition by an ink jet method onto the image recording surface of the recording substrate after the surface treatment; and an image recorded article.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An image recording method, comprising:
subjecting a recording substrate to a surface treatment by irradiating an image recording surface of the recording substrate with light from excimer emission using a xenon gas, the recording substrate comprising an aggregate of non-absorbent or low-absorbent fiber materials; and applying an ink composition by an ink jet method onto the image recording surface of the recording substrate after the surface treatment.

2 . The image recording method according to claim 1 , wherein the fiber materials comprise at least one selected from polypropylene fibers and polyethylene fibers.

3 . The image recording method according to claim 1 , wherein the aggregate is a non-woven fabric.

4 . The image recording method according to claim 1 , wherein an irradiation intensity of the light is 30 mW/cm 2 to 300 mW/cm 2 .

5 . The image recording method according to claim 1 , wherein irradiation time of the light is 0.1 seconds to 10 seconds.

6 . The image recording method according to claim 1 , wherein the ink composition comprises a color material and water.

7 . The image recording method according to claim 6 , wherein the color material comprises a pigment.

8 . The image recording method according to claim 1 , wherein the ink composition further comprises particles of a urethane-based resin.

9 . The image recording method according to claim 8 , wherein the urethane-based resin comprises an organic salt having an organic cation as a counter ion.

10 . The image recording method according to claim 9 , wherein the organic salt comprises a triethylamine salt having a triethylamine cation as a counter ion.

11 . The image recording method according to claim 8 , wherein the urethane-based resin comprises a structure derived from a diisocyanate compound, a structure derived from a diol compound, and a structure derived from an organic salt of a carboxyl group-containing diol compound.

12 . The image recording method according to claim 11 , wherein the diol compound comprises a diol polycarbonate.

13 . The image recording method according to claim 11 , wherein the diol compound has a molecular weight of from 500 to 20,000.

14 . The image recording method according to claim 8 , wherein the urethane-based resin has an acid value of from 10 mmol/g to 200 mmol/g.
