Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the reactive dye structure and type of penetrant in ink formulation on paper ink-jet printing. Different type of papers, which have same grammage was printed upon with three commercial reactive dyes, CI Reactive Blue 49 Ink 1, 4, CI Reactive Blue 21 Ink 2, Ink 5 and CI Reactive Blue 19 Ink 3, Ink 6, which are based on different reactive group, chromophore and possess different numbers of anionic groups. Ethylene glycol mono butyl ether Ink1 to Ink 3 and Ethylene glycol di-butyl ether Ink 4 to Ink6 were used in ink formulation as penetrants. Optical density, colorimetric properties, wash and light fastness of the printed paper were evaluated at neutral pH. The results indicated that, the printed subjects with Ink 1 to Ink 3 had less optical density, high dye penetration and good wash fastness properties compare to Ink 4 to Ink 6. Ink 2 and Ink 5 are demonstrating excellent to washing and light fastness on the most of the substrates compare to other inks. The light fastness of other inks fixed to paper was poor.

The Effect of Reactive Dye Structure on the Ink-Jet Printing of Cotton

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the structure of reactive dye on cotton ink-jet printing. Cotton fabric was printed upon with three commercial cellulosic reactive dyes which are based on the similar chromophore and possess different numbers of reactive and anionic groups. Colour yield and absorbed dye fixation of the printed cotton were evaluated at various pHs. The i...

Water Fastness of Ink Jet Prints on Modified Conventional Coatings

This paper was selected as the 2005 IS&T Itek Award for outstanding original student publication in the field of imaging science and engineering (full version published in JIST 48 #2). In order to produce color ink jet prints with good fastness properties, the use of special, coated papers is generally essential. This study examined the water fastness of ink jet prints using experimental coated...

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
