Abstract

A textile printing method includes coating a printing surface of a fabric with a pretreatment liquid; ejecting an adhesive liquid onto the printing surface to form an adhesive layer, after the coating of the printing surface; and transferring metallic foil onto the adhesive layer by bringing a sheet, on which the metallic foil is formed, into contact with the adhesive layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A textile printing method comprising:
coating a printing surface of a fabric with a pretreatment liquid;
ejecting an adhesive liquid onto the printing surface to form an adhesive layer, after the coating of the printing surface; and
transferring metallic foil onto the adhesive layer by bringing a sheet, on which the metallic foil is formed, into contact with the adhesive layer,
wherein the pretreatment liquid for fabric contains at least one kind of polyvalent metal salt or at least one kind of organic acid, and
the adhesive liquid, which is attached onto the fabric with an ink jet method, contains an adhesive compound.

2. The textile printing method according to claim 1 , further comprising ejecting an undercoat ink onto the printing surface, coated with the pretreatment liquid, to form an undercoat layer, before the ejecting of the adhesive liquid.

3. The textile printing method according to claim 2 , wherein the undercoat ink is white ink.

4. The textile printing method according to claim 1 , wherein the transferring of the metallic foil includes heating the sheet and the fabric.

5. The textile printing method according to claim 4 , wherein the heating of the sheet and the fabric is performed with a heat press method.

6. The textile printing method according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive compound further comprises an anionic group.
