Benefits of technology

The invention involves a method where a solvent UV ink layer is applied to a printing target object and then dried. This is followed by decorating the dried ink layer and curing it by exposing it to ultraviolet light. The result is a printed product that is resistant to washing.

Problems solved by technology

However, there is a problem with the method described in the patent document 1 that since an ink of ultraviolet curing type is used to foam a pattern layer on fabric, the fabric after the pattern layer is formed thereon has poor fastness to washing, possibly fading or blurring the pattern layer when the fabric is washed.
Yet, curing the ink of ultraviolet curing type is still very difficult to manage, in order to prevent smearing of the ink and attain a degree of viscosity that ensures enough stickiness for the decorating process.

Abstract

The object is to obtain a printed product excellent in fastness to washing. To achieve the object, a printing method is provided. The printing method includes a forming step of forming a solvent UV ink layer (2) on a printing target object (1), a drying step of drying the solvent UV ink layer (2), a decorating step of forming a decorative layer (3) on the dried solvent UV ink layer (2), and a curing step of curing the decorated solvent UV ink layer (2) by irradiating the same with ultraviolet.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention relates to a printing method and a printed product.BACKGROUND ART[0002]The patent document 1 describes a method for forming a pattern layer on fabric such as woven fabric or knitted fabric. The method descried in the patent document 1 forms a pattern layer from a pigment-containing resin of ultraviolet curing type on a fibrous base material.PRIOR ART DOCUMENTPatent Document[0003]Patent Document 1: Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 2010-12777 (disclosed on Jan. 21, 2010).SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONProblems To Be Solved By The Invention[0004]However, there is a problem with the method described in the patent document 1 that since an ink of ultraviolet curing type is used to foam a pattern layer on fabric, the fabric after the pattern layer is formed thereon has poor fastness to washing, possibly fading or blurring the pattern layer when the fabric is washed.[0005]When subjecting the ink of ultraviolet curing type spread on the fabric to a decora...
