AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In addition, if the recording medium is conveyed at high speed, the lightweight and thin-layered recording medium may sometimes bend or wobble, and the floating recording medium will easily come into contact with the head during conveyance, causing the problem of ink not ejecting.
The problem of contact between the recording medium and the head can be solved by increasing the distance between the recording medium and the head. When small droplets are ejected, landing accuracy deteriorates and image degradation occurs

Abstract

An image forming method wherein an ink composition, containing a water-soluble polymer having a number average molecular weight of 1000 or more, a water-soluble organic solvent, and a surfactant having an HLB value that falls within the range of 3-12 and which has a number average molecular weight of less than 1000, and having a viscosity at 30 DEG C that falls within the range of 10mPa.s to 14mPa.s, is discharged onto a recording medium in droplets of 60pL to 120pL using an inkjet head to form an image.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming method and an image record. Background technique [0002] In the past, analog printing such as flexographic printing was performed on non-absorbent or low-absorbent recording media such as glass, metal, and plastic. Digital printing based on inkjet printing. [0003] Rough classifications of printing methods suitable for inkjet printing include a multi-pass method and a single-pass method. The former has the advantage of image quality that image streaks are less conspicuous even if the nozzles of the head do not spray because the head scans the substrate twice or more, but has the disadvantages of slow printing speed and low productivity. [0004] The latter has the advantages of high printing speed and high productivity because it is printed with one scan, but it is prone to image deterioration when the "non-discharging phenomenon" that prevents ink from being ejected occurs in the nozzles of the hea...
