Abstract
Abstract A process for printing a cloth with a dye-containing ink by an ink-jet system is provided in which an ink-receiving material with a viscosity of 1000 cp or higher at 25° C. is applied onto the cloth prior to the printing. The ink-receiving material may be a water-soluble resin-containing solution or a hydrophilic resin-containing solution.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
68 words
A cloth printing process, comprising: applying a layer of a water-soluble resin or a hydrophilic resin-containing solution onto said cloth; printing on said solution layer using an aqueous ink, said ink containing a water-soluble or disperse dye, said ink being applied using an ink-jet system, wherein said solution layer is moist and has a viscosity of 1000-15000 cp at 25° C.; and fixing said ink to said cloth.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
68 words
A cloth printing process, comprising: applying a layer of a water-soluble resin or a hydrophilic resin-containing solution onto said cloth; printing on said solution layer using an aqueous ink, said ink containing a water-soluble or disperse dye, said ink being applied using an ink-jet system, wherein said solution layer is moist and has a viscosity of 1000-15000 cp at 25° C.; and fixing said ink to said cloth.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the water-soluble resin or hydrophilic resin-containing solution has a viscosity of from 3000-15000 cp at 25° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the water-soluble resin or hydrophilic resin-containing solution is applied as a layer having a thickness of from 0.5-30 μm.
