Abstract
A textile substrate is treated with a composition having a dye fixing agent and an ink receiving agent, for the subsequent printing with an ink jet printer. The dye fixing agent includes a reactive amino compound which chemically bonds with the textile substrate. A resin binder can also be used where the dye fixing agent does not provide an adequate bond to the textile substrate, a resin binder can be used to bond with the textile substrate and the dye fixing agent can bond with the resin binder. The ink receiving agent comprises inorganic particles such as bohemite alumina or silica gel.
Claims13
A textile comprising:
- a textile printing substrate including:
- a textile substrate having a first side and a second side;
- a dye fixing/receiving composition disposed on the first side of the textile substrate, the dye fixing/receiving composition including:
- an amino compound forming a chemical bond with the textile substrate;
- and
- inorganic particles;
- an anionic dye disposed on the dye fixing/receiving composition of the textile substrate, the anionic dye including raticals from the carboxylic acid group.
A method of providing a textile with an colorant thereon, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a textile substrate having a first side
- providing a dye fixing/receiving agent including a reactive amino compound and inorganic particles;
- placing the dye fixing/receiving agent on the first side of the textile substrate such that a chemical bond is formed between the amino compound and the textile substrate;
- providing an anionic dye having at least two net anionic charge on the chromophore moiety on each molecule;
- placing the anionic dye onto the first surface of the textile substrate having the dye fixing/receiving agent thereon.
A textile comprising:
- a textile printing substrate including:
- a textile substrate having a first side and a second side;
- a dye fixing/receiving composition disposed on the first side of the textile substrate, the dye fixing/receiving composition including an amino compound;
- and
- a pigment ink disposed on the dye fixing/receiving composition of the textile substrate, said pigment ink containing a pigment to binder ration of about 10 to 1, or greater, by weight.
A textile comprising:
- a textile printing substrate including:
- a textile substrate having a first side and a second side;
- a dye fixing/receiving composition disposed on the first side of the textile substrate, the dye fixing/receiving composition including:
- a resin binder;
- an amino compound;
- and
- inorganic particles;
- a pigment ink disposed on the dye fixing/receiving composition of the textile substrate, said pigment ink having a pigment to binder ration of about 10 to 1, or greater, by weight.
A method of providing a textile with an colorant thereon, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a textile substrate having a first side
- providing a dye fixing/receiving agent including an amino compound;
- placing the dye fixing/receiving agent on the first side of the textile substrate;
- providing an aqueous pigment ink having a pigment to binder ration of about 10 to 1, or greater, by weight;
- placing the aqueous pigment ink onto the first surface of the textile substrate having the dye fixing/receiving agent thereon.
