Abstract
The object is to obtain a printed product excellent in fastness to washing. To achieve the object, a printing method is provided. The printing method includes a forming step of forming a solvent UV ink layer (2) on a printing target object (1), a drying step of drying the solvent UV ink layer (2), a decorating step of forming a decorative layer (3) on the dried solvent UV ink layer (2), and a curing step of curing the decorated solvent UV ink layer (2) by irradiating the same with ultraviolet.
Claims10
A laminate forming system, comprising:
- a printing target object;
- a solvent ultraviolet (UV) ink, containing a resin of UV curing type and an solvent;
- an inkjet head, discharging the solvent UV ink by an inkjet method;
- a heating component, heating the printing target object;
- a UV irradiation apparatus, irradiating UV light which cures the resin of UV curing type;
- a decorative material;
- wherein
- an ink layer is formed on the printing target object by the inkjet head,
- the ink layer is heated by the heating component to volatilize the solvent to increase the viscosity of the ink layer, and
- the decorative material is adhered to the ink layer in which the viscosity is increased in a state of the resin of UV curing type is still uncured,
- the ink layer to which the decorative material is adhered is irradiated with the UV light from the UV irradiation apparatus, and the resin of UV curing type contained in the ink layer is cured.
