A method for producing printed matter is disclosed that includes applying a pretreatment liquid containing a resin and a pretreatment liquid containing a coagulant to a substrate, and after the applying of these pretreatment liquids, applying an aqueous inkjet ink to the substrate using an inkjet system.

The present invention generally relates to a method for changing the color of a textile material to obtain a vintage and/or worn appearance comprising the steps of contacting said fabric textile material with a nitrate salt, activating the nitrate salt by the addition of an acid catalyst until the desired color change is achieved.

Provided are compositions and processes formulated and practiced to reduce the friction-coefficient of the printed area and also of the non-printed areas around the image, wherein the compositions are formulated for use by wet-on-wet techniques in-line of the pre-curing printing process, without pretreating the fabric for softness and smoothness prior to the printing process. The compositions comprise at least 15% by weight of a friction-coefficient reduction agent and having a pH lower than 6.5 so as to effect upon contact immobilization of an ink composition that is being digitally applied on the substrate.

The present invention relates to the field of denim fabric processing, specifically to an environmentally-friendly processing method for dyeing denim fabric with zero discharge. The method includes: step 1, a treatment of white warp yarns; step 2, a primary drying operation; step 3, a coating spray-dyeing operation; step 4, a secondary drying operation; step 5, a sizing operation; step 6, a ternary drying operation; and step 7, a doffing operation. In the present application, as warp yarns are dyed using the coating spray-dyeing technology, highly corrosive auxiliaries such as sodium hydrosulfite and sodium sulfide are not needed in the dyeing process, and the dyed warp yarns are not required to be treated in a washing tank, so that zero effluent discharge is achieved.

An ink jet recording apparatus includes: an aqueous ink composition; a liquid ejecting head having a nozzle for discharging the aqueous ink composition; and a cap member for protecting the nozzle, where: the aqueous ink composition has a surface tension of 40 mN/m or less; the aqueous ink composition contains a wax having a melting point of 100° C. or more; and the cap member has a coating film containing a silicone defoamer on a contact surface with the nozzle.
