Provided are a printing blanket and a printing method that enable printing on a printing member having a curved surface at an edge. The printing blanket includes a base member made of an elastic material having a three-dimensional shape with a recessed portion or a hole portion in a center of the base member and a ridge line surrounding the recessed portion or the hole portion, and a printing surface arranged on a surface of the base member on an outer side from the ridge line.

A conductive ink for use in manufacturing RFID tag antennas and a method for manufacturing the RFID tag antennas are revealed. The conductive ink includes sheet-like carbon material containing graphite structure, conductive filler, dispersant, and solvent. The conductive ink is coated on a surface of a fibrous substrate by printing or inkjet printing according to the shape of the antenna so as to form a conductive layer. A part of the conductive layer is infiltrated into pores between fibers of the fibrous substrate and attached to the fibrous substrate. The fibrous substrate together with the conductive layer forms a RFID antenna without non-conductive binder. The conductive ink is binder free so that the electrical conductivity of the antenna is improved while the electrical resistance and the production cost of the antenna are reduced

The present invention provides a method for applying multiple ink and/or coating layers on a substrate. At least one of the ink and/or coating layers contains one or more photoinitiators, and at least one of the ink and/or coating layers does not contain any photoinitiators. In certain embodiments, all of the ink and/or coating layers are wet trapped and the entire print construct is cured by exposure to UV radiation after all of the ink and/or coating layers have been applied. In certain embodiments, the wet trapping method of the present invention can be used to prepare laminates.

A PU printing method and system including a textile component; and a rotary screen device component. More specifically, the system can include: a source of PU material; a rotary screen containing a squeegee blade or magnetic roller that is connected to the PU material source; means to carry the textile in proximity to the rotary screen and in position to receive a print; and a source of pressure, hydrodynamic or magnetic, to force the PU through the rotary screen and onto the textile.

An inkjet recording method is provided that includes the following steps: applying a pretreatment liquid to a fabric; applying a first white ink by an inkjet method and a wet on wet method onto an application region of the pretreatment liquid obtained in the applying of the pretreatment liquid, to form an image; applying a second white ink by an inkjet method and a wet on wet method onto the image formed in the applying of the first white ink; and applying a color ink by an inkjet method and a wet on wet method onto an image obtained in the applying of the second white ink.
