Abstract
A fabric print medium containing a fabric base substrate with a first and a second side; a polymeric barrier layer that is extruded, or a polymeric barrier layer with adhesion property that is laminated, on at least one side of the fabric base substrate; a primary coating composition that includes a polymeric binder and filler particles applied over a polymeric barrier layer; and an image-receiving coating composition that includes, at least, a first crosslinked polymeric network and a second crosslinked polymeric network, that is applied over the primary coating composition. Also disclosed are the method for making such fabric print medium and the method for producing printed images using said material.
Claims16
A fabric print medium comprising:
- a. a fabric base substrate with a first and a second side;
- b. a polymeric barrier layer that is extruded, or a polymeric barrier layer with adhesion property that is laminated, on at least one side of the fabric base substrate;
- c. a primary coating composition including a polymeric binder and filler particles applied over the polymeric barrier layer;
- and
- d. an image-receiving coating composition including a first and a second crosslinked polymeric network applied over the primary coating composition, wherein the first and second crosslinked polymeric networks collectively represent from 80 wt % to 99 wt % of the total dry weight of the image-receiving coating composition.
An image recording medium comprising:
- a. a fabric base substrate with a first and a second side;
- b. a polymeric barrier layer that is extruded, or a polymeric barrier layer with adhesion property that is laminated, on at least one side of the fabric base substrate wherein the polymeric barrier layer contains resins that are selected from the group consisting of high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP), polymethylpentene (PMP), and copolymers of ethylene with hexane, butane, and octane (linear low density polyethylene, LLDPE);
