The various aspects of the invention described herein relate to a fixing treatment composition, a method of making the same, a permanent marking system including the same, and a method of using a fixing treatment composition (including but not necessarily limited to the fixing treatment composition of the present invention) to permanently affix one or more inks to a substrate. The various aspects of the invention leave room for error in the application of markers and dyes to substrates and can be used to create permanent designs that will not wash out of said substrates (e.g., fabric).

The invention provides a disperse dye color paste for waterless dyeing, which comprises, by weight, 10%-40% of disperse dye filter cakes, 2%-35% of a dispersant, 5%-20% of a dyeing auxiliary, 0.1-0.5% of a surfactant, and 20%-88% of a solvent. The disperse dye color paste for waterless dyeing of the invention has a small particle size; and after waterless dyeing, a textile does not contain cleavable carcinogenic aromatic amine azo dyes, allergenic dyes, forbidden aromatic amine or bioactive substances. The disperse dye color paste for waterless dyeing of the invention can be stably stored for 6-12 months which is beneficial to the transportation of dyes and the production management of dyeing factories. Moreover, a dyeing effect featuring a high fixation rate is realized after the disperse dye color paste for waterless dyeing is applied to textiles.

An ink used for printing on a leather includes: a coloring material, an organic solvent, and a resin; where a maximum tensile stress of an ink film formed of the ink is 2 N/mm.sup.2 or more.

The present invention provides a water-based ink comprising nanopigment micelles, said nanopigment micelles comprising a pigment particle and a polymeric dispersing agent around said pigment particle, whereby said pigment particles have an average particle size between 100 nm and 250 nm. The invention also relates to a printed textile and a dyeing and printing process using said water-based ink.

The present disclosure provides an image forming apparatus that improves washing fastness of an image forming portion of a fabric on which a discharge printing ink and a color ink are ejected. An image forming apparatus of the present disclosure includes: a color ink ejector; a discharge printing ink ejector; and a controller, wherein the color ink ejector is configured to eject a color ink containing an aqueous resin emulsion on a fabric, the discharge printing ink ejector is configured to eject a discharge printing ink containing a reducing agent on the fabric, and the controller is configured to control the color ink ejector and the discharge printing ink ejector to eject the color ink on the fabric in a first step, and after the first step, to eject the discharge printing ink on the fabric in a second step.

A processing liquid composition of the present disclosure subjected to textile printing and which is used by being attached to a fabric including fibers having a hydroxyl group, includes an oxazoline group-containing polymer and an aromatic carboxylic acid. An oxazoline value of the oxazoline group-containing polymer is preferably 100 or more and 600 or less.

The present invention provides a water-based ink comprising nanopigment micelles, said nanopigment micelles comprising a pigment particle and a polymeric dispersing agent around said pigment particle, whereby said pigment particles have an average particle size between 100 nm and 250 nm. The invention also relates to a printed textile and a dyeing and printing process using said water-based ink.

A fluid set can include an ink composition having a pH from pH 7 to pH 10 and a crosslinker composition having a basic pH from pH 8 to pH 10. The ink composition can include from 60 wt % to 90 wt % water, from 5 wt % to 30 wt % organic co-solvent, from 1 wt % to 6 wt % pigment, and a latex polymer including an aromatic (meth)acrylate moiety. The crosslinker composition can include from 70 wt % to 95 wt % water, from 1 wt % to 25 wt % organic co-solvent, and from 1 wt % to 10 wt % polycarbodiimide.

The present invention relates to a white fabric with increased opacity as obtainable a process comprising the step of: a) providing at least a fabric; b) treating at least part of said fabric with an aqueous composition comprising titanium dioxide and at least a cross-linkable binder; and c) heating the fabric obtained in step b).

A textile printing material set includes a fabric substrate and an aqueous ink composition. The aqueous ink composition includes an aqueous ink vehicle, pigment, and from 2 wt % to 15 wt % of acrylic core-shell latex particles having an acrylic core copolymer with a glass transition temperature from −50° C. to 30° C. and an acrylic shell copolymer having a glass transition temperature from 50° C. to 130° C. The acrylic core copolymer and the acrylic shell copolymer of the acrylic core-shell latex particles in this example are present at an average weight ratio from 1:1 to 9:1.
