Abstract
A pretreatment apparatus of the present disclosure is a pretreatment apparatus configured to perform pretreatment on a recording medium having permeability and to be applied with ink, including: a first applicator configured to apply an aqueous solution containing alginate to the recording medium; a second applicator configured to apply an aqueous solution containing a chelating agent to the recording medium; and a third applicator configured to apply a pretreatment agent containing a polyvalent metal salt to the recording medium, wherein the third applicator is configured to apply the pretreatment agent after the application of the aqueous solutions by the first applicator and the second applicator.
Claims7
A pretreatment apparatus configured to perform pretreatment on a recording medium having permeability and to be applied with ink, comprising:
- a first applicator configured to apply an aqueous solution containing alginate to the recording medium;
- a second applicator configured to apply an aqueous solution containing a chelating agent to the recording medium;
- and
- a third applicator configured to apply a pretreatment agent containing a polyvalent metal salt to the recording medium, wherein
- the third applicator is configured to apply the pretreatment agent after the application of the aqueous solutions by the first applicator and the second applicator;
- wherein the third applicator is configured to apply the pretreatment agent while the aqueous solution containing the chelating agent applied by the second applicator is wet.
A pretreatment method for performing pretreatment on a recording medium having permeability and to be applied with ink, comprising:
- a first application step of applying an aqueous solution containing alginate to the recording medium;
- a second application step of applying an aqueous solution containing a chelating agent to the recording medium;
- and
- a third application step of applying a pretreatment agent containing a polyvalent metal salt to the recording medium, wherein
- the pretreatment agent is applied by the third application step after the application of the aqueous solutions by the first application step and the second application step;
- wherein a third applicator is configured to apply the pretreatment agent while the aqueous solution containing the chelating agent applied by a second applicator is wet.
A method for producing a recording medium applied with pretreatment, comprising:
- a pretreatment step of performing pretreatment on the recording medium, wherein
- the pretreatment step is performed by a pretreatment method for performing pretreatment on a recording medium having permeability and to be applied with ink, comprising:
- a first application step of applying an aqueous solution containing alginate to the recording medium;
- a second application step of applying an aqueous solution containing a chelating agent to the recording medium;
- and
- a third application step of applying a pretreatment agent containing a polyvalent metal salt to the recording medium, wherein
- the pretreatment agent is applied by the third application step after the application of the aqueous solutions by the first application step and the second application step;
- wherein a third applicator is configured to apply the pretreatment agent while the aqueous solution containing the chelating agent applied by a second applicator is wet.
