Ink Jet Ink Composition for Stable Orange Fabric Printing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Ink jet inks for printing on fabric face challenges in maintaining color rendering consistency across different light sources and suffer from poor color developing properties and discharge stability issues due to the use of certain orange dyes.
Innovation Solution
The development of an ink jet ink set comprising specific dyes such as C.I. Acid Orange 33 and C.I. Acid Orange 94, with controlled ratios and pH levels, along with other inks, to enhance color developing properties and discharge stability while minimizing gas generation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If C.I. Acid Orange 94 is used to widen color reproduction range, then color developing property is improved, but gas generation increases causing discharge failure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical parameters of the ink formulation by introducing C.I. Acid Orange 33 as a new dye component with different molecular characteristics compared to C.I. Acid Orange 94. This parameter change in dye composition reduces gas generation while maintaining color developing properties through the synergistic effect of multiple dyes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite dye system by combining C.I. Acid Orange 33 and C.I. Acid Orange 94 in specific ratios. This composite approach allows the ink to benefit from the high color developing property of Acid Orange 94 while the presence of Acid Orange 33 suppresses gas generation, resolving the contradiction between color quality and discharge stability.
2Reliability
If dye concentration is increased to ensure color developing property on fabric, then color rendering is improved, but color rendering consistency across different light sources deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a composite dye system combining C.I. Acid Orange 33 and C.I. Acid Orange 94 to achieve broad spectral coverage. This composite approach ensures consistent color rendering across different light sources by creating a balanced color profile that maintains fidelity under varying illumination conditions while preserving high color developing property on fabric.
