Provided in one example herein is a method of printing. The method includes disposing onto a transfer paper an ink composition to form thereon an image, the ink composition including pigments and latex particulates. The method includes transferring the image from the imaged transfer paper onto a substrate comprising fabric by a lamination process. The lamination process includes: laminating together the substrate, the imaged transfer paper, and a release paper, whereby the image is transferred from the transfer paper onto the substrate.

The object is to provide a transfer textile printing method that satisfies general versatility, simplicity, fixing property, color development property and fineness.

The object is achieved by a transfer textile printing method comprising a step (1) of preparing a transfer paper, a step (2) of forming a pattern using a pigment ink on the transfer paper to obtain a printed transfer paper, a step (3) of bringing the printed transfer paper and a textile printing medium into close contact with each other and heating and pressurizing, a step (4) of performing a heat treatment without pressurizing while the printed transfer paper and the textile printing medium remain in close contact with each other, and a step (5) of removing the printed transfer paper from the textile printing medium, wherein the transfer textile printing method comprises the step (3), the step (4), and the step (5) in this order.

Provided is a textile printing paper for use in a paper printing method, which textile printing paper has an ability to produce a high-resolution image and enables favorable color development on a printing substrate and is excellent in adhesiveness of a printed paper to a printing substrate. The textile printing paper has a base sheet and a glue layer on a surface of the base sheet, the base sheet having a compression layer on at least a glue layer side, the compression layer at least comprising a pigment and a binder, wherein the base sheet has a compression ratio of 1.5 or more as calculated by the formula given below from the smoothness measured using a soft backing at clamp air supply pressures of 300 kPa and 2000 kPa according to JIS P 8151:2004.

Compression ratio=[smoothness of base sheet at 300 kPa]/[smoothness of base sheet at 2000 kPa]

The disclosure discloses an elongated cloth medium to be recorded made with a satin weave that ranges from six-harness satin to ten-harness satin by using a warp in a medium longitudinal direction and a weft in a direction orthogonal to the medium longitudinal direction. The cloth medium includes one surface and another surface. The warp has a weaving density that ranges from 300 [yarns/inch] to 540 [yarns/inch]. The weft has a weaving density that ranges from 80 [yarns/inch] to 540 [yarns/inch]. The one surface is a surface with the warp more exposed than the weft in accordance with the satin weave. The cloth medium further includes on the one surface a print-receiving surface that calendering is executed.

The present invention relates to a method for printing fabric or leather product, and printed matter printed by using the same, the method comprising the steps of: a) forming a digital print layer by performing digital printing on a release transfer paper by using an inkjet printer; b) forming adhesive layer by coating the digital print layer with an adhesive, and drying for a predetermined time; and c) bonding fabric or leather product to the adhesive layer. Thus, the present invention can precisely print fabric or leather product with high resolution and can enable customized printing so as to allow small quantity batch production.

A recording method according to the present disclosure includes: ejecting a pigment ink containing a pigment and water from an ink jet head onto a transfer medium having a release layer to form a first layer; ejecting a processing solution from the ink jet head onto the first layer to form a second layer; and heating a surface of the transfer medium that has the first layer and the second layer, with the surface facing an absorbent receiving medium, to thermally transfer the first layer and the second layer onto the receiving medium, wherein the pigment ink contains a resin in an amount of 15.0 mass % or less, the processing solution contains a resin and water, and the first layer has a dryness of 0% or more and 80% or less when the processing solution is ejected.
