Abstract
Disclosed herein is an ink-jet printing cloth composed of cellulose fibers, wherein the specific gravity of the cloth in an absolute dry condition is controlled within a range of from 1.45 to 1.49 by mercerization.
Claims18
An ink-jet printing cloth composed of cotton fibers having an average length of 25 to 60 mm and an average thickness of 0.6 to 2.2 deniers,
- wherein the specific gravity of the cloth in an absolutely dry condition is adjusted within a range of 1.45 to 1.49 by mercerization and
- wherein the amount of an alkaline substance in the cloth is adjusted within a range of from 0.01 to 5% by weight based on the weight of the cloth in an absolutely dry condition by treating the mercerized and then washed cloth with an alkaline solution.
A print produced by a textile printing process comprising applying a printing ink to a cloth by an ink-jet system, subjecting the cloth to a dyeing treatment and then washing the cloth thus treated,
- wherein said cloth is an ink-jet printing cloth composed of cotton fibers having an average length of 25 to 60 mm and an average thickness of 0.6 to 2.2 deniers,
- wherein the specific gravity of the cloth in an absolutely dry condition is adjusted within a range of from 1.45 to 1.49 by mercerization, and
- wherein the amount of an alkaline substance in the cloth is adjusted within a range of from 0.01 to 5% by weight based on the weight of the cloth in an absolutely dry condition by treating the mercerized and then washed cloth with an alkaline solution.
A method of preparing an ink-jet printing cloth comprising the steps of:
- providing a cloth composed of cotton fibers having an average length of 25 to 60 mm and an average thickness of 0.6 to 2.2 deniers;
- and
- adjusting the specific gravity of the cloth in an absolutely dry condition within a range of from 1.45 to 1.49 by mercerization, and
- adjusting the amount of alkaline substance in the cloth within a range of from 0.01 to 5% by weight based on the weight of the cloth in an absolutely dry condition by treating the mercerized and then washed cloth with an alkaline solution.
