Disclosed is a patterning method by ink lithography. More particularly, the patterning method includes coating thin film-forming nanoparticles surrounded by the first ligand on a substrate to form a nanoparticle thin film; directly spraying a ligand-substituting ink to a selected region on the nanoparticle thin film to form a region in which the first ligand is substituted with the second ligand; and washing the nanoparticle thin film with a washing solvent so that the region substituted with the second ligand is patterned.

An aqueous polyurethane resin dispersion, the polyurethane resin is obtainable by reacting an allophanate based isocyanate according to general formula I or II, optionally a polyether diol, a polyol containing a quaternary N-atom or tertiary amino group and a polyol selected from the group consisting of polyester polyol, polyether polyol, polycarbonate polyol, a polyacrylate polyol, a polyolefin and a polyamide polyol. The polyurethane resin is suitable as a resin in treatment liquids of substrates and images made by inkjet printing.

An object of the present invention is to provide an inkjet aqueous composition that can sufficiently and easily prevent deterioration or corrosion of a silicon member that forms an ink channel. The present invention relates to an inkjet aqueous composition containing an aqueous medium and a surfactant, in which the surfactant includes a polysiloxane compound having a siloxane structure (—Si—O—) with a repetition number of 5 or more and 1000 or less, and to an inkjet aqueous ink, an inkjet aqueous primer, an inkjet aqueous cleaning liquid, an inkjet aqueous preservation liquid, and an inkjet recording device.

A treatment liquid composition according to the present disclosure includes a polyamide epihalohydrin polymer, and a quaternary ammonium salt polymer other than the polyamide epihalohydrin polymer.

An image forming method includes a processing fluid applying step and an ink applying step. The processing fluid applying step involves applying a processing fluid containing a multivalent metal salt, a resin T.sub.A, a resin T.sub.B different from the resin T.sub.A, and a silicone-based surfactant to a non-permeating base material by an inkjet method, where the processing fluid is free of an organic solvent having a boiling point of 200° C. or higher at normal pressure. The ink applying step involves applying an ink containing a coloring material, an organic solvent, and a resin onto the processing fluid.
