Low-temperature direct-injection disperse dye color paste and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of ink-jet ink, and particularly relates to low-temperature direct-injection disperse dye color paste and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The traditional manufacturing process of banners is by watermarking or screen printing. This is a relatively conventional approach for small format, large batch national or organizational flags, and flags for memorial activities. However, for the production of small-lot flags, digital direct-injection printing is a more economical printing method. The digital direct injection printing mode does not need to manufacture a silk screen plate, and the non-monochromatic flags, particularly under the condition of color gradual change or fine and complex patterns, can be printed at one time without a register; and the color transition of the printed flag is more natural, and the pattern is more accurate.
Most of cloth used by the existing flags is terylene fabrics, and the fabrics are superior to cotton, silk and other fabrics in the aspects of fastness, crease resistance and other physical indexes and cost. In the early digital printing mode, the disperse dye ink is printed on the thermal transfer paper by adopting a thermal transfer printing mode, then the disperse dye ink is transferred to the fabric of the flag by a thermal transfer printing machine, and finally the margin is cut to obtain the finished flag. The process is complicated and the cost is high. In addition, because the flag is mostly hung outdoors, high requirements are put forward on the color, water resistance and light color fastness of the flag. The penetration, rubbing color fastness, water color fastness and light color fastness of the ink printed on the flag become important indexes for judging the quality of the flag. At present, the color fastness of more flags is poor, and the color becomes obviously lighter after the flags are hung for a period of time; and the difference of the front and the back of more flags is large, which affects the beauty.
Therefore, it is highly desirable to provide a direct-injection disperse dye color paste, which can be used for preparing an inkjet ink capable of being directly subjected to jet printing and color fixing without using thermal transfer paper; and the ink-jet ink has strong permeability and high color fastness, and the printed flag is not easy to fade, has similar front and back surfaces and small difference.

Comparative examples 13 to 16
Comparative examples 13 to 16 each provide a disperse dye paste prepared using a toner having a molecular weight greater than 300, the specific compositions of which are shown in Table 3. The preparation method is the same as example 1.
TABLE 3
As can be seen from Table 3, the viscosity and particle size of the color pastes prepared using the disperse dyes having a molecular weight greater than 300 are substantially the same as those of examples 1-4.
Examples 5 to 8
Examples 5-8 provide ink-jet inks prepared using the low temperature direct injection disperse dye pastes of examples 1-4, the specific components of which are shown in table 4, and the specific preparation method is as follows: sequentially adding deionized water, humectant, surfactant and bactericide, stirring at 100-200rpm for 15min at normal temperature, adding color paste, stirring at 100-200rpm for 30min at normal temperature, and filtering with PP membrane with pore diameter of 0.45 μm to obtain the desired ink.
The ink-jet inks prepared in examples 5 to 8 were applied to an Epson I3200-A1 head and tested for their performance, which mainly included ink viscosity, ink printing stability, rub fastness (dry and wet rub, test methods referenced GB/T3920-2008), waterfastness (discoloration and staining, test methods referenced GB/T5713-2013), and lightfastness (test methods referenced GB/T8427-2008, method 3). The ink printing stability comprises printing fluency, namely the number of broken holes of 2h of continuous printing, and open time test (removing the nozzle from the ink stack, staying for a period of time and moving back to the ink stack, and detecting the number of the broken holes before and after removal by using a printing test strip). The test results are shown in table 4.
Comparative examples 17 to 20
Comparative examples 17-20 provide inks made using the disperse dye pastes of comparative examples 1-4, the specific components are shown in Table 4, the specific preparation methods are examples 5-8. And the inks provided in comparative examples 17 to 20 were applied to an Epson I3200-A1 head and subjected to a performance test.
TABLE 4
As can be seen from Table 4, in order to control the inks prepared in comparative examples 17 to 20 to have the same viscosity as in examples 5 to 8, the comparative examples required a reduction in the amount of humectant and an increase in the amount of water. If the same amount of humectant and water is used, the inks of comparative examples 17 to 20 will have a high viscosity and will not be suitable for direct jet printing. As can be seen from the test data, the ink-jet inks provided in examples 5 to 8 of the present invention were continuously printed for 10 hours without clogging or breaking the line; and the color fastness is obviously better than that of comparative examples 17-20.
Comparative examples 21 to 28
Comparative examples 21 to 28 provide inks prepared using the disperse dye pastes prepared in comparative examples 5 to 12, the specific components being shown in Table 5, the specific preparation methods being examples 5 to 8.

TABLE 5
As can be seen from Table 5, in order to ensure the same viscosity as in examples 5 to 8, comparative examples 21 to 24 were only added with a small amount of humectant, so that the ink was too dry to discharge ink at the time of smoothness of printing, the head was dry, and the proof printed could not be tested for color fastness; if the humectant and water were used in the same amounts, the inks of comparative examples 21 to 24 would have a high viscosity and would not be suitable for direct jet printing. While comparative examples 25 to 28, although maintaining the same viscosity as examples 5 to 8, had too large a particle size, broken both in the fluency of printing and in the open time test, and much inferior in the color fastness to examples 5 to 8.

TABLE 6
As can be seen from Table 6, the inks prepared in comparative examples 29 to 32 also had better printing stability and color fastness.
The inks prepared in examples 5 to 8 and comparative examples 29 to 32 were further tested for permeability,
the Lab values on the front and back sides, and the color difference on the front and back sides, of 100% pure color patches printed with the inks of examples 5-8 and 100% pure color patches printed with the inks of comparative examples 29-32, respectively, were tested. Lab is a device independent color system, also based on physiological characteristics of color system. This means that it describes the human visual perception digitally. The L component in the Lab color space is used for expressing the brightness of the pixel, the value range is [0, 100], the L component expresses from pure black to pure white, the same a and b values for colors, and the larger the L component is, the more vivid the L component is; a represents the range from red to green, and the value range is [127, -128]; b represents the range from yellow to blue, and the value range is [127, -128]. The test results are shown in table 7.

As can be seen from Table 7, the difference Δ E between the front and back sides of the swatches printed with the ink-jet inks provided in examples 5-8 of the present invention was less than 0.75, and both the front and back sides were bright and full in color. The ink provided in comparative examples 29 to 32 printed swatches had very light reverse color and very large color difference from the front and back.
In conclusion, the ink-jet ink provided by the embodiment of the invention has the advantages of strong printing stability, high color fastness and excellent permeability, and is obviously superior to each proportion.
