An ink set includes a combination of: a first ink composition containing a white pigment, and an alkali-soluble resin having an acid value of 200 mgKOH/g or higher or a crosslinked product thereof, which accounts for 1.0% by mass or more in the first ink composition, and further containing water; and a second ink composition to be printed over a printing layer constituted by the first ink composition, containing a colored pigment, and an alkali-soluble resin having an acid value of 200 mgKOH/g or higher or a crosslinked product thereof, which accounts for 1.0% by mass or more in the second ink composition, and further containing an amphoteric surfactant, a water-dispersible resin, and water. The ink set is intended to achieve good printability even when a volatile acid is used in a pretreatment solution for the ink set.

Compositions for and methods of digitally printing an ink image onto a woven textile material are provided. A base application is applied to the surface of a woven textile material, especially one comprising synthetic resin fibers prior to application of an ink image layer. The base application comprises an acrylic latex material that is formulated to be printed on with a digital ink while still wet, thereby eliminating the need for an intermediate drying cycle in between base application deposit and printing of the ink image.

An ink jet printing penetrant includes a lactam compound having a hydroxy group and a glycol having a vapor pressure of 1.0 to 20.0 Pa at 20? C., a content of the lactam compound with respect to a total mass of the ink jet printing penetrant is 15 to 25 percent by mass, and a content of the glycol with respect to a total mass of the lactam compound is 0.8 to 3.0 on a mass ratio basis.

An ink jet ink composition for textile printing contains a crosslinking component having a blocked isocyanate group, tertiary amine, at least one carboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of monocarboxylic acid, dicarboxylic acid, and tricarboxylic acid, a pigment, and water.

A fabric treatment agent that is used in textile printing with a sublimable color material includes a color-material scavenging compound having an Rf value of 0.7 or less according to paper chromatography performed under following conditions. In Procedure 1, cellulose filter paper is impregnated with a 10% solution of the color-material scavenging compound and then dried to prepare a carrier. In Procedure 2, a 0.1% solution of a sublimable color material in tetrahydrofuran is spotted on the carrier and then dried to prepare a development sample. In Procedure 3, the development sample is developed using acetonitrile as a solvent for 3 minutes at 25 C. In Procedure 4, the Rf value is calculated by a following formula: $Rf=\frac{\left(\mathrm{distance}\mathrm{travelled}\mathrm{by}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{sublimable}\mathrm{color}\mathrm{material}\right)}{\left(\mathrm{distance}\mathrm{travelled}\mathrm{by}\mathrm{acetonitrile}\right)}.$

An aqueous dispersion of a capsule composed of a polymeric shell surrounding a core, the core containing an amine blocked isocyanate, the amine blocked isocyanate comprises at least two isocyanate groups blocked by a blocking group, the blocking groups are independently from each other represented by a secondary amine. The aqueous dispersion is suitable as reactive binder chemistry in coatings and inks.
