Abstract
An image forming method includes: applying a pretreatment liquid, which is an aqueous solution, to a cloth material; heating the applied pretreatment liquid; and applying an ink onto the cloth material, after heating, to form an image on the cloth material by an ink jet method. After heating, the cloth material includes the pretreatment liquid and an amount of the pretreatment liquid per unit area of the cloth material is less than 30 mg/cm2. The ink includes a white ink containing titanium oxide particles having an average particle diameter of more than 10 nm and 200 nm or less.
Claims15
An image forming method comprising:
- applying a pretreatment liquid, which is an aqueous solution, to a cloth material;
- heating the applied pretreatment liquid;
- and
- applying an ink onto the cloth material, after heating, to form an image on the cloth material by an ink jet method,
- wherein after heating, the cloth material comprises the pretreatment liquid and an amount of the pretreatment liquid per unit area of the cloth material is 4 mg/cm2 or more and less than 30 mg/cm2, and
- wherein the ink comprises a white ink comprising titanium oxide particles having an average particle diameter of more than 10 nm and 200 nm or less.
An image forming system, comprising:
- a pretreatment liquid application unit configured to apply a pretreatment liquid, which is an aqueous solution, to a cloth material;
- a heating unit configured to heat the applied pretreatment liquid;
- and
- an image forming unit configured to apply an ink onto the cloth material to form an image on the cloth material by an ink jet method,
- wherein the ink comprises a white ink comprising titanium oxide particles having an average particle diameter of 10 nm or more and 200 nm or less, and
- wherein the heating unit is configured to heat the pretreatment liquid such that the cloth material comprises the pretreatment liquid and an amount of the pretreatment liquid per unit area of the cloth material is 4 mg/cm2 or more and less than 30 mg/cm2, after the heating unit heats the pretreatment liquid.
