Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to an ink applying method for obtaining desired sharp patterns while preventing bleeding and an ink composition therefor, in applying a low viscosity liquid to a polymer product such as fabric in the form of droplets according to the ink jet or spray process. As a treating solution there is used a solution incorporating a water-soluble or water-dispersible material which contains --OSO 3 M group or --SO 3 M group as a hydrophilic group in which M is a monovalent metal, ammonium or amine, and a fiber structure is pretreated with a chemical for coagulating the said hydrophilic group, whereby good bleeding preventing effect and deep shading effect even against markedly bleeding fiber structures such as thin fabrics as well as level dyeing effect of colored portions can be attained without impairing the injection characteristic. Sharp patterns equal or superior to conventional prints can be obtained.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
274 words
A method for treating fabrics comprising pretreating a fabirc with a mateiral (B), said material (B) selected from the group consisting of a soluble salt of barium, calcium or potassium and a cationic compound selected from the group consisting of polyamines, amine salts and quaternary ammonium salts and applying, by ink jet or spray, a treating solution to said pretreated fabric whereby said material (B) is coagulated, said treating solution containing water, a water-insoluble dyestuff or pigment and a material (A), said material (A) selected from the group consisting of a copolyester and a dispersant, said copolyester having a molecular weight of 2,000 to 10,000 formed by the copolymerization of a dicarboxylic acid, said dicarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid and mixtures thereof, a diol, said diol selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, butylene glycol and mixtures thereof and a bifunctional monomer, said bifunctional monomer selected from the group consisting of sodium salts of sulfoisophthalic acid, sodium salts of sulfoterephthalic acid, sodium salts of sulfophthalic acid and sodium salts of 4-sulfonaphthalene-2,7-dicarboxylic acid, said dispersnat havign a molecular weight of 350 to less than 2,000, represented by the formula ##STR8## where Q is at least one aromatic ring, said aromatic ring selected from the group consisting of a benzene ring and a naphthalene ring; R 1 is an aromatic ring-containing group; R 2 is lower alkyl or halogen; Z is a divalent alkylene ether or a derivative thereof; M is ammonium, amine or a monovalent metal; m is an integer of 2 to 5; and n is 0 or an integer of 1 to 3.
