Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An ink jet textile printing method includes recording by applying an ink composition containing a dye to a front surface of a fabric by an ink jet method and applying a liquid penetrant to the front surface or a rear surface of the fabric before or after the recording. The liquid penetrant includes a nitrogen compound having a boiling point of 230 to 260° C. and an alkyl polyol having a boiling point of 230 to 260° C. and does not substantially include alkyl polyols having a boiling point higher than 260° C.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An ink jet textile printing method comprising: recording by applying an ink composition containing a dye to a front surface of a fabric by an ink jet method and applying a liquid penetrant to the front surface or a rear surface of the fabric before or after the recording, wherein the ink composition and the liquid penetrant each include a nitrogen compound having a boiling point of 230 to 260° C., an alkyl polyol having a boiling point of 230 to 260° C., and does not substantially contain alkyl polyols having a boiling point higher than 260° C. and wherein the alkyl polyol having the boiling point of 230 to 260° C. is at least one of 1,4-butanediol, 2-methyl-2-propyl-1,3-propanediol, dipropylene glycol, 1,5-pentanediol, 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol, 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol, and 1,6-hexanediol. 2. The ink jet textile printing method according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the nitrogen compound is 5.0 to 10% by mass relative to 100% by mass of the liquid penetrant. 3. The ink jet textile printing method according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the alkyl polyol having a boiling point of 230 to 260° C. is 20 to 40% by mass relative to 100% by mass of the liquid penetrant. 4. The ink jet textile printing method according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid penetrant further includes a glycol ether. 5. An ink set comprising: an ink composition containing a dye; and a liquid penetrant, wherein the ink composition and the liquid penetrant each include a nitrogen compound having a boiling point of 230 to 260° C., an alkyl polyol having a boiling point of 230 to 260° C., and does not substantially contain alkyl polyols having a boiling point higher than 260° C., and wherein the alkyl polyol having the boiling point of 230 to 260° C. is at least one of 1,4-butanediol, 2-methyl-2-propyl-1,3-propanediol, dipropylene glycol, 1,5-pentanediol, 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol, 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol, and 1,6-hexanediol.
