Provided is an aqueous pigment ink for textile inkjet printing, including a pigment, a water-dispersible resin, water, and a water-soluble organic solvent, wherein an ink film made by drying the aqueous pigment ink for textile inkjet printing has a weight change ratio of 20% or less between before and after immersion in warm water at 50 C., and has a film elongation of 50% to 300% after immersion in warm water at 50 C. Also provided is a method for producing a printed textile item.

Room temperature processing has successfully resulted in highly conductive coatings formed from silver nanowires with a cellulose binder. The conductive coatings can be formed with silver salts to fuse the silver nanowires into a unitary fused metal nanostructured network. Even without added silver salts, low sheet resistance values can be obtained. Room temperature processing can be effective over a range of transmittance values from highly transparent to modestly transparent to translucent to opaque. The ability to form the transparent coatings opens the processing to a wide range of substrates that are not processible with higher process temperatures.

An image recording method includes: preparing a white ink that contains a white pigment, a first organic solvent having a boiling point of 120 C. or higher, and water; preparing a colored ink that contains a colored pigment other than the white pigment, a second organic solvent having a boiling point of 120 C. or higher, and water; and recording an image by applying each of the white ink and the colored ink onto an impermeable base material, in which an image is recorded under conditions that a total mass of the first organic solvent and the second organic solvent is 5.5 g/m.sup.2 or less, and a mass of the white pigment is 0.4 g/m.sup.2 or greater in a region where a region to which the white ink is applied and a region to which the colored ink is applied overlap each other in plan view.
