The research progress in recording layer of the inkjet printing materials

Abstract

Inkjet printing has become a prevailing printing technology due to its practicability and rapidity. The color inkjet printing as one of the inkjet printing has color comprehensive and high clarity compared with traditional printing. The key point of the color inkjet printing is the introducing of special recording layer which has great influence on the printing quality. However, the printing quality of the color inkjet printing depends on the compositions and performance of the recording layer and the infiltration behavior between the ink and the recording layer. Specially, the theoretical study of the infiltration behavior between the ink and the recording layer is the key to guiding the structural design. In this review, the types and compositions of the recording layer were clearly analyzed, the process and evaluation methods of ink infiltration and the performance evaluation system of the recording layer were also summarized. Ultimately, the current bottleneck and the development trend of the recording layer were put forward.

Straight versus Spongy: Effect of Tortuosity on Polymer Imbibition into Nanoporous Matrices Assessed by Segmentation-Free Analysis of 3D Sample Reconstructions

“…Imbibition of nanoporous media by invading fluids is of significant relevance to a diverse variety of application fields ranging from geophysics to carbon dioxide trapping to inkjet printing to dentistry . Furthermore, imbibition underlies the preparation of functional nanostructured composite and hybrid materials, including optical hybrids, , solar cells and active ingredient depots .…”

Strategy to Prepare Core–Shell Microspheres for Laser Direct Writing on Polymers: Microemulsion Method

“…In ancient times, people first discovered that inks could be printed on paper, bamboo, and metal. , Later, with the development of technology, clay printing, cork carving, and color-changing methods appeared successively. − Although modern production lines and equipment optimize the flow of the traditional printing process, it still has some shortcomings. Generally, the processing technology of the conventional printing method is complicated, time-consuming, inefficient, and environmentally unfriendly. , Therefore, in consideration of adapting to rapid consumption, people always try to develop more advanced technology to replace the conventional.…”

Formulation and characterization of pigmented inkjet inks containing aminopropyl/vinyl/silsesquioxane for jet printing onto polyester fabrics

“…It eliminates the setup cost associated with screen preparation and can enable cost-effective and short-run production. It permits uncommon visualizations, such as tonal gradients and infinite pattern repeat size, which cannot be finished by a screen printing technique (Nasar et al , 2011; Chen, 2021). Besides, since of the need the necessity of purity and the specific conductivity prerequisites for digital inkjet printing, none of the standard printing manufactured compounds can be straightforwardly consolidated into the ink formulation, which can address the issues related with the ordinary printing, such as the roughness and solid content effect (Yuen et al , 2007; Nasar et al , 2011; Chen, 2021).…”

Along these lines, digitally printed textiles are frequently subjected to pre-treatments and post-treatments to improve their exhibition (Ding et al , 2019; Alihoseini et al , 2021).…”
