Abstract
An image forming method includes: preparing a fabric to which an aggregating agent is attached; applying an aqueous ink containing a pigment, a first resin, and water onto the fabric to which the aggregating agent is attached; and applying a coating liquid containing a second resin and water onto the applied aqueous ink, wherein the second resin is aggregated by the aggregating agent, a content of the second resin in the coating liquid is smaller than a content of the first resin in the aqueous ink, and an amount of the coating liquid attached to the fabric is larger than an amount of the aqueous ink attached to the fabric.
Claims13
An image forming method comprising:
- preparing a fabric to which an aggregating agent is attached, wherein the aggregating agent contains one or more selected from the group consisting of a polyvalent metal salt, an organic acid, and a cationic polymer;
- applying an aqueous ink containing a pigment, a first resin, and water onto the fabric to which the aggregating agent is attached;
- and
- applying a coating liquid containing a second resin and water onto the applied aqueous ink, wherein
- the second resin is aggregated by the aggregating agent,
- a content of the second resin in the coating liquid is smaller than a content of the first resin in the aqueous ink,
- the aqueous ink and the coating liquid are applied by an inkjet method,
- an amount of droplets of the coating liquid is larger than an amount of droplets of the aqueous ink, and
- an amount of the coating liquid attached to the fabric is larger than an amount of the aqueous ink attached to the fabric.
