A printing method is provided. The printing method includes applying a treatment liquid containing a flocculant operable to flocculate at least one constituent of an ink composition onto a printing medium, and applying at least one ink composition including a white ink composition containing a white coloring material and resin particles onto the printing medium. The volume average particle size of the resin particles varies 50% or less when the white ink composition is mixed with the treatment liquid.

Herein is disclosed a method of transfer inkjet printing comprising jetting a radiation curable inkjet ink onto an intermediate transfer member of an inkjet printer to form an image; irradiating the radiation curable inkjet ink on the intermediate transfer member to form an at least partially cured image; and transferring the at least partially cured image to a substrate to form a printed substrate. Herein is also disclosed a transfer inkjet printing apparatus adapted, in use, to perform the method.

Provided is an ink jet recording method capable of recording an image with a tertiary color, less causing color shift even with use of a recording apparatus having an ink inlet port. The ink jet recording method includes recording an image, with use of an ink jet recording apparatus that includes a plurality of aqueous inks; an ink storage portion that independently stores the aqueous inks; a recording head having formed therein an ejection orifice through which each aqueous ink is ejected; and a tube through which each aqueous ink is supplied from the ink storage portion to the recording head. The ink storage portion has provided thereto an inlet port through which the aqueous ink is filled, the tube is formed of a resin material, a cyan ink contains a phthalocyanine pigment, and both of a yellow ink and a magenta ink individually contain an azo pigment.

A conductive ink is provided, which includes an ink solvent and a conductive composition dispersed in the ink solvent. The conductive composition includes a silver nanoparticle and a molecular chain of polyaniline formed on a surface of the silver nanoparticle. A method for preparing a conductive ink and a flexible display device are further provided. The conductive ink has good film forming property and good conductivity.

Clear inks are prone to heat-induced micro-gelling that can cause their storage stability to drop, and micro-gelling may also occur in clear inks with the passage of time, in which case their inkjet discharge property may drop. As a solution, a photocurable clear ink composition for inkjet printing is provided, which contains a photopolymerizable compound, a photopolymerization initiator, and an inorganic filler of 1 to 200 nm in average grain size accounting for 0.05 to 5.0 percent by mass in the composition, and whose visible light transmission factor is 30% or higher.
