Provided herein is an inkjet dye-sublimation ink composition that is formulated to interact with an immobilizing composition such that the ink composition coagulates on the surface of an absorptive substrate, thereby substantially limiting soaking of the ink composition into the substrate. Also provided are a printing process and a printing machine, wherein the ink composition is directly printed on the substrate concomitantly with the immobilizing composition, and thereafter undergo heat-pressing to afford a dye-sublimation transfer of the dye to the substrate, thereby forming an image which is characterized by sharp and well defined edges of the dyed areas.

A treatment solution composition for ink jet textile printing contains one or more selected from the group consisting of a glycol solvent with a molecular weight of 100 or less and a sugar with a molecular weight of 400 or less, water, and an alkaline agent.

An aqueous ink jet ink composition contains an organic solvent with an SP value of 9.5 to 10.5, resin particles, a plasticizer, and water. With respect to the amount of the aqueous ink jet ink composition, 1.0% by mass to 10.0% by mass of the organic solvent is contained.

A spray device and a method of using the spray device are provided. The spray device facilitates the application of a liquid such as a pretreatment liquid to an area of a fabric material. The spray device can be positioned on or adjacent portions of the fabric material and/or a substrate supporting the fabric material. The spray device can be activated to spray the pretreatment liquid and move the spray device on portions of the fabric material and/or the substrate supporting the fabric material.

The present disclosure relates to a natural dyeing method using fermented persimmon juice, and more particularly to a natural dyeing method using fermented persimmon juice, which prevents the discoloration of a naturally dyed fabric, is harmless to the human body, and exhibits excellent color development, excellent antibacterial activity, excellent deodorization, and excellent dyeing fastness such as friction fastness and light fastness.

A fluid set includes a pre-treatment composition, a fixer composition, and an inkjet ink. The pre-treatment composition includes a wax emulsion or a fluorinated polymer emulsion. The fixer composition includes a cationic polymer and a fixer vehicle. The inkjet ink includes a white pigment, a polymeric binder, and an ink vehicle.

Provided are a textile printing ink set including a pretreatment liquid including a quaternary ammonium cation having a molecular weight of 3000 or less, and an ink composition including a water-insoluble dye, a dispersing agent, and water, wherein a content of the quaternary ammonium cation relative to a total amount of the pretreatment liquid is 5 mass % to 20 mass %; and a textile printing method.

Provided are a textile printing ink set including a pretreatment liquid including a cationic compound having a molecular weight per cationic valence of 150 to 220, and an ink composition including a water-insoluble dye, a dispersing agent, and water, wherein the dispersing agent is at least one selected from the group consisting of a urethane resin, a urea resin, and a urethane-urea resin; and a textile printing method.

An ink composition for ink jet pigment textile printing contains a dispersion of a self-dispersing carbon black pigment containing a phosphate group. An absolute value of a zeta potential V.sub.1 of the dispersion is 65 mV or less.

The present disclosure describes phosphonium-containing polyurethane compositions, coating compositions, and coated fabric media. In one example, a phosphonium-containing polyurethane composition can include an aqueous liquid vehicle and polyurethane particles. The polyurethane particles can include a polyurethane polymer devoid of end cap groups, the polyurethane polymer also including a polyurethane backbone having side chain groups along the polyurethane backbone. The side chain groups can collectively include aliphatic phosphonium salts and polyalkylene oxide groups.
