Embodiment 1

[0029] Example 1 – Preparation of coated fabric substrates

[0030] Four fabric substrates were used to demonstrate the performance of the fabric print media prepared in the examples according to the present disclosure. The properties of the four individual fabrics are illustrated in Table 1 as follows:

[0031] Table 1 - Fabric Substrates

[0032] fabric base structure base weigh braided structure F1 100% Woven Polyester 120gsm poplin F2 100% woven recycled polyester 157gsm poplin F3 100% Woven Polyester 271gsm plain weave F4 100% cotton 250gsm plain weave

[0033] Six coating compositions were prepared for coating on the fabric substrates in Table 1. Coatings of each composition included metal complexes, organophosphates and starch. Carriers and other processing aids may also be included in these embodiments. According to the recipe summarized in Table 2, mix the ingredients at room temperature in a laboratory ...

Embodiment 2

[0040] Example 2 – Image quality and durability inspection

[0041] The same sequence of patterns was printed on fabric print media (Samples 1-10) and control samples using an HP DesignJet L25500 printer equipped with HP 789 ink cartridges when the fabric print media was prepared as in Example 1 above. Set the printer's heating zone temperature at about 50°C, curing zone temperature at about 110°C, and airflow at about 15%. The following tests were performed on these printed images:

[0042] Image Quality – Image quality inspection by measuring characteristics such as black optical density, color gamut, and ink bleed. exist Black OD (KOD) and color gamut (measured by Macbeth method) were measured on the TD904 device. The image quality of the bleed-related print of the printed samples was visually assessed using a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being the worst and 5 being the best).

[0043]Ink Adhesion - Ink adhesion was tested for resistance to dry rubbing and damage due to foldin...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to fabric print media, coating compositions, and methods of coating fabric substrates to form fabric print media. The fabric print media may include a fabric substrate having applied thereto an ink receptive coating comprising a metal complex, an organophosphate, and a starch.

Description

Background technique [0001] Discover various applications of different forms of printing such as inkjet printing on different substrates including traditional cellulose paper, metal, plastic, fabric and more. With regard to fabrics specifically, there are challenges associated with various printing techniques due to the nature of fabrics. For example, some fabrics can be highly absorbent, reducing color properties, while some synthetic fabrics can crystallize, reducing the absorption of aqueous inks and causing ink bleeding. These characteristics lead to relatively low image quality on fabrics. Additionally, black optical density, color saturation, and sharpness are often poor compared to images printed on cellulose paper or other media types. Since the moisture sensitivity of images printed on fabrics is generally high, the resulting images have poor water fastness and washability. Another problem associated with printing on fabrics relates to the reduction in softness nor...
