In one aspect, inks for use with a three-dimensional (3D) printing system are described herein. In some embodiments, an ink described herein comprises up to 80 wt. % oligomeric curable material; up to 80 wt. % monomeric curable material; up to 10 wt. % photoinitiator; up to 1 wt. % non-curable absorber material; and up to 10 wt. % one or more additional components, based on the total weight of the ink, and wherein the total amount of the foregoing components is equal to 100 wt. %. Additionally, the photoinitiator is operable to initiate curing of the oligomeric curable material and/or the monomeric curable material when the photoinitiator is exposed to incident curing radiation having a peak wavelength λ. Moreover, the ink has a penetration depth (D.sub.p), a critical energy (E.sub.c), and a print through depth (D.sub.PT) at the wavelength λ of less than or equal to 2×D.sub.p.

An aqueous ink jet composition contains at least one disperse dye selected from the group consisting of C.I. Disperse Yellow 54, C.I. Disperse Red 60, and C.I. Disperse Blue 359, and a styrene maleic acid-based dispersing agent represented by Formula (1). ##STR00001##

An image forming apparatus includes a supplier and an inkjet head. The supplier supplies, to a medium to be printed, a dye-transfer suppression agent that suppresses a dye or a pigment dyeing chemical fibers constituting the medium to be printed from transferring to a print surface formed on the medium to be printed. At least one of a platen on which the medium to be printed is placed or the supplier is moved to supply the dye-transfer suppression agent to the medium to be printed. The inkjet head ejects ink for forming the print surface to an area to which the dye-transfer suppression agent is supplied.
