An ink for inkjet textile printing is disclosed that contains a pigment, a water-dispersible urethane resin having a film elongation of 600% to 2,000%, a water-soluble organic solvent and water, wherein the weight ratio between the pigment and the water-dispersible urethane resin is from 1:3 to 1:16. An ink set and a method for producing a printed item are also disclosed.

A transfer-printing ink is ejected onto a transfer paper base on an ink-jet recording device when transfer paper is prepared, and is transferred from the transfer paper to cloth when the transfer paper with the cloth laid over it is heated. The ink contains a pigment, an anionic fixing resin, and a volatile amine as a neutralizer for neutralizing the fixing resin. The average particle diameter of the pigment is 30 nm to 150 nm. The pigment-to-fixing resin mass ratio is 1:1 to 1:5. The added amount of the volatile amine is 0.8 to 1.5 times the neutralization equivalent.

The present teachings include a process, system and article for forming a printed image on a textile. The process includes coating the solution of an orthosilicate to form a silica network on the textile. The process includes applying an ink composition to the textile having the silica network on the textile, forming an image.

An inkjet treatment liquid includes emulsified particles containing a silicone oil and an aqueous medium, in which the silicone oil includes an ionic functional group-containing silicone oil and an unmodified silicone oil.

In one aspect, a composition for treating fibers comprises an acidic aqueous or aqueous-based continuous phase and a liquid repellent phase comprising a dendrimer component and/or non-dendrimer alkyl urethane. The treatment composition, for example, can have pH of 2.5 to 6.5. In some embodiments, carboxylic acid is employed in the treatment composition for providing the acidic character of the aqueous or aqueous-based continuous phase. Moreover, the treatment composition can further comprise at least one of an acid stain resist component and soil release component. In some embodiments, fibers treated with compositions described herein exhibit ionic character.

A process for printing multiple layers on a fabric or other material using UV-curable ink that includes a step of printing a first layer on the material and another step of partially curing the first layer. A next step includes printing a partially UV-transparent layer over the first layer and fully curing the UV-transparent layer while simultaneously fully curing the first layer.

Provided are methods for treating garments so as to improve color contrast, darkness, or both. Also provided are systems for treating garments as well as garments made according to the disclosed methods.
