Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of canvas production technology, specifically to a multi-coated, low-solvent matte inkjet canvas and its production method. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, in the field of high-definition photo printing, whether for indoor and outdoor advertising exhibitions or home and office decoration, the market has placed higher demands on material manufacturers in terms of material style selection and output image size. Among the many printing materials, especially high-definition photo printing materials, the first problem is size. Due to the limitations of raw materials and production equipment, the width of the produced materials is relatively narrow, mostly within 1.52 meters. Extremely special materials are also within 1.8 meters in width. However, in recent years, the width of some materials has shown a significant upward trend, with some reaching around 2.2 meters. But such sizes still cannot meet market demand, nor can they completely solve the problems that exist in the practical application of the materials.
[0003] Existing canvas substrates inevitably have seams when spliced together, causing misalignment of the image. Furthermore, their surfaces are too flat, failing to reproduce the original image in a more three-dimensional and realistic way. Besides the inherent advantages and disadvantages of the substrate itself, the most crucial factor is its printing performance, specifically the accuracy of color reproduction. Poor color reproduction, coupled with poor drape leading to curling and warping, and substrate instability, makes improving and refining these aspects a pressing issue. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-coated, low-solvent matte inkjet printing material canvas and its production method, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Existing canvas substrates will inevitably have seams when spliced, causing misalignment of the image. At the same time, their surfaces are too flat, making it impossible to reproduce the original image in a more three-dimensional and realistic way. In addition to the advantages and disadvantages of the substrate itself, the most important indicator is its printing performance, that is, the reproduction of various colors in the image. The quality of color reproduction varies. In addition, poor drape will cause curling and warping, and the substrate is unstable.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a multi-coated, low-solvent matte inkjet canvas, comprising the multi-coated, low-solvent matte inkjet canvas, and the production steps of the multi-coated, low-solvent matte inkjet canvas are as follows: S1. Take the dried and shaped white fabric and put it on a special surface treatment equipment. First, perform a high-temperature surface treatment of more than 300 degrees on one side. This side is referred to as the front side. The untreated side is referred to as the back side. After the high-temperature treatment, the surface of the front side of the fabric will become flat and smooth, and the surface of the finished product will be smoother. S2. For the white fabric front side, apply the first coat of whitening agent. Roll up the white fabric that has already been treated on the front side and place it face up on the roll-up station of the intelligent coating machine. When the temperature in the oven reaches the preset temperature, start the acceleration button. The substrate will move smoothly towards the direction of the squeegee application under the action of multiple parallel guide rollers. The substrate will arrive at the coating table of the precision coating head at a speed of 25 meters per minute. As the substrate continues to move forward, the paint added to the front side of the substrate will be continuously carried away by the substrate. After passing through the 4.0 special squeegee, the squeegee will squeeze and smooth the paint on the surface of the substrate. At the same time, the excess paint will be scraped off by the squeegee and blocked in front of the squeegee for reuse. S3. After being scraped, the substrate surface has been coated with a uniform layer of wet adhesive. The next step is to directly enter the high-temperature oven for dehumidification and drying. The substrate will be dried at a high temperature of 50-150 degrees Celsius for 30 seconds in the 27-meter-long oven. After drying, the substrate will have a certain degree of flexibility, a snow-white and smooth surface, and clear texture. At the same time, the substrate will no longer be translucent or breathable. S4. After exiting the oven, the substrate surface has been dried. The coating surface needs to undergo a special surface treatment to improve the substrate's flexibility and make the surface texture more uniform. Then, a rapid surface cooling treatment is performed. After that, the substrate will be slowly rolled onto the spindle, ready for the next coating process. S5. Apply a second base coat to the front of the substrate. The purpose of this coat is to increase the weight, stiffness, and opacity of the product. If the weight of the adhesive applied is insufficient, the fabric will arch during printing, which will seriously damage the printer head. This process of applying the second base coat to the front of the substrate results in a low-solvent matte finish product, which is more suitable for wide-format decorative paintings and framed oil paintings. This is because the surface of the product will be smoother and more suitable for high-definition inkjet printing. It also helps with the ink absorption coating on the surface, resulting in better color reproduction. S6. Apply the second layer of base coat to the back of the substrate. This process produces a mild solvent matte finish product, which is suitable for wide-format seamless wall coverings, wide-format personalized printed curtains, and wide-format printing consumables for indoor and outdoor exhibitions. Whether the base coat is applied to the front as the second coat or to the back as the first coat, the coating formula and coating process are the same. S7. Coating the substrate with the front side facing up is equivalent to the second cut of the front coating. If the customer is making seamless wall coverings or wide-width personalized printed curtains, coating the substrate with the front side facing down is equivalent to the first cut of the back coating. Place the roll of substrate on the coating machine station, making sure it is placed with the front side facing up. After starting the machine, press the acceleration button, and the entire substrate will move horizontally towards the precision coating head. S8. After the substrate enters the material trough of the coating station, the coating will quickly wet the surface of the substrate. Affected by the movement of the substrate, the coating will continuously roll backward and continuously wet the new substrate surface. When the substrate surface passes the bottom of the 4.0 scraper, it will be coated with a uniform and thin layer of wet glue due to the squeezing and scraping effect of the scraper. The substrate with wet glue on the surface will directly enter the 50-170 degree high temperature oven. After 40 seconds of high temperature drying, the substrate will exit the 27-meter long intelligent temperature-controlled oven. Under the action of the main winding power traction, after the substrate passes through the guide roller, it will first undergo a 4-meter long rapid cooling treatment, and then be directly wound into a large roll by the power shaft core, waiting for the next process coating. S9. Applying a mild solvent-based matte ink-absorbing layer to the front of the substrate is the most crucial step in the entire coating process, whether producing wide-format wallcoverings and large-format custom curtains with back coating, or mild solvent-based matte canvases for handicrafts and decorative paintings without back coating. It is also the final coating layer for the entire product. The semi-finished substrate, which has already undergone multiple coating processes, is placed face up at the designated station. Following the normal startup procedure, the coating process begins. As usual, the substrate gradually moves forward at a constant speed along the balance guide roller, entering the feeding area of the precision coating head for application of adhesive. The substrate enters the precision coating head and the coating station's material tank. A specially formulated weak-solvent matte ink-absorbing coating layer continuously tumbles backward as the substrate moves forward, rapidly covering its surface. After being scraped by a 4.0mm doctor blade, the substrate surface is coated with a uniform layer of the weak-solvent matte ink-absorbing layer. It then enters a 27-meter-long high-temperature oven where it undergoes 50 seconds of intelligent high-temperature drying at 150-180 degrees Celsius. After exiting the oven, the substrate undergoes two rapid surface cooling treatments before being automatically rolled into large rolls, then individually packaged and sold.

After the high-temperature treatment, the surface of the front side of the fabric will become flat and smooth, and the surface of the finished product will be smoother. S2. For the white fabric front side, apply the first coat of whitening agent. Roll up the white fabric that has already been treated on the front side and place it face up on the roll-up station of the intelligent coating machine. When the temperature in the oven reaches the preset temperature, start the acceleration button. The substrate will move smoothly towards the direction of the squeegee application under the action of multiple parallel guide rollers. The substrate will arrive at the coating table of the precision coating head at a speed of 25 meters per minute. As the substrate continues to move forward, the paint added to the front side of the substrate will be continuously carried away by the substrate. After passing through the 4.0 special squeegee, the squeegee will squeeze and smooth the paint on the surface of the substrate. At the same time, the excess paint will be scraped off by the squeegee and blocked in front of the squeegee for reuse. S3. After being scraped, the substrate surface has been coated with a uniform layer of wet adhesive. The next step is to directly enter the high-temperature oven for dehumidification and drying. The substrate will be dried at a high temperature of 50-150 degrees Celsius for 30 seconds in the 27-meter-long oven. After drying, the substrate will have a certain degree of flexibility, a snow-white and smooth surface, and clear texture. At the same time, the substrate will no longer be translucent or breathable. S4. After exiting the oven, the substrate surface has been dried. The coating surface needs to undergo a special surface treatment to improve the substrate's flexibility and make the surface texture more uniform. Then, a rapid surface cooling treatment is performed. After that, the substrate will be slowly rolled onto the spindle, ready for the next coating process. S5. Apply a second base coat to the front of the substrate. The purpose of this coat is to increase the weight, stiffness, and opacity of the product. If the weight of the adhesive applied is insufficient, the fabric will arch during printing, which will seriously damage the printer head. This process of applying the second base coat to the front of the substrate results in a low-solvent matte finish product, which is more suitable for wide-format decorative paintings and framed oil paintings. This is because the surface of the product will be smoother and more suitable for high-definition inkjet printing. It also helps with the ink absorption coating on the surface, resulting in better color reproduction. S6. Apply the second layer of base coat to the back of the substrate. This process produces a mild solvent matte finish product, which is suitable for wide-format seamless wall coverings, wide-format personalized printed curtains, and wide-format printing consumables for indoor and outdoor exhibitions. Whether the base coat is applied to the front as the second coat or to the back as the first coat, the coating formula and coating process are the same. S7. Coating the substrate with the front side facing up is equivalent to the second cut of the front coating. If the customer is making seamless wall coverings or wide-width personalized printed curtains, coating the substrate with the front side facing down is equivalent to the first cut of the back coating. Place the roll of substrate on the coating machine station, making sure it is placed with the front side facing up. After starting the machine, press the acceleration button, and the entire substrate will move horizontally towards the precision coating head. S8. After the substrate enters the material trough of the coating station, the coating will quickly wet the surface of the substrate. Affected by the movement of the substrate, the coating will continuously roll backward and continuously wet the new substrate surface. When the substrate surface passes the bottom of the 4.0 scraper, it will be coated with a uniform and thin layer of wet glue due to the squeezing and scraping effect of the scraper. The substrate with wet glue on the surface will directly enter the 50-170 degree high temperature oven. After 40 seconds of high temperature drying, the substrate will exit the 27-meter long intelligent temperature-controlled oven. Under the action of the main winding power traction, after the substrate passes through the guide roller, it will first undergo a 4-meter long rapid cooling treatment, and then be directly wound into a large roll by the power shaft core, waiting for the next process coating. S9. Applying a mild solvent-based matte ink-absorbing layer to the front of the substrate is the most crucial step in the entire coating process, whether producing wide-format wallcoverings and large-format custom curtains with back coating, or mild solvent-based matte canvases for handicrafts and decorative paintings without back coating. It is also the final coating layer for the entire product. The semi-finished substrate, which has already undergone multiple coating processes, is placed face up at the designated station. Following the normal startup procedure, the coating process begins. As usual, the substrate gradually moves forward at a constant speed along the balance guide roller, entering the feeding area of the precision coating head for application of adhesive. The substrate enters the precision coating head and the coating station's material tank. A specially formulated weak-solvent matte ink-absorbing coating layer continuously tumbles backward as the substrate moves forward, rapidly covering its surface. After being scraped by a 4.0mm doctor blade, the substrate surface is coated with a uniform layer of the weak-solvent matte ink-absorbing layer. It then enters a 27-meter-long high-temperature oven where it undergoes 50 seconds of intelligent high-temperature drying at 150-180 degrees Celsius. After exiting the oven, the substrate undergoes two rapid surface cooling treatments before being automatically rolled into large rolls, then individually packaged and sold.
