Embodiment Construction

[0023] The drawing shows a quilting machine 10 with a fixed frame 11 having a longitudinal length indicated by an arrow 12 and a transverse width indicated by an arrow 13 . The machine 10 has a front end 14 into which rolls 15 of pillowcase or duvet fabric or face material enter from supply rolls 16 rotatably secured to a frame 11 . The rolls of lining 17 and one or more filling materials 18 are also supplied in roll form from rollers also secured to frame 11 . The roll of material is guided onto a conveyor belt or conveyor system 20 around a plurality of rollers (not shown) each at a different point along the conveyor belt 20 . The transfer system 20 preferably comprises a pair of opposed pin tenter belt devices 21 extending along the entire length of the machine 10 onto which the outer fabric 15 is fed at the front 14 of the machine 10 . As the belt assembly 21 carries the fabric 15 through the longitudinal length of the machine 10, the belt assembly 21 holds the fabric 15 ...

Abstract

Ink jet printing is provided on large area substrates such as wide width textile webs. The printheads are driven by linear servo motors across a bridge that extends across the substrate. The timing of the jetting of the ink is coordinated with the motion of the printheads, so that the heads can be rapidly moved and the ink can be jetted while the printheads are accelerating or decelerating as they move on the bridge. Preferably, ultraviolet (UV) light curable ink is jetted and first partially cured with UV light and then subjected to heating to more completely reduce uncured monomers of the ink on the substrate.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to printing on fabrics and in particular to printing patterns on fabrics for quilting, for example on such things as mattress covers, quilts, bed sheets and the like. In more detail, the present invention relates to inkjet printing on textiles, and inkjet printing using ultraviolet (UV) curable inks. Background technique [0002] Quilting in the field of sewing in general is a specialized process in which a pattern is sewn in a two-dimensional area of ​​the material through multiple layers of material. A multi-layer material generally consists of at least three layers, a woven main or face cloth having a decorative finishing quality; a usually woven back cloth which may or may not be finished; and a or multiple thick inner layers of filler material, usually made of randomly oriented fibers. The sewn pattern maintains the physical relationship of the individual material layers to each other while providing decorative prop...
