Description
【0001】
【発明の背景】
発明の分野
本発明は、輪郭部におけるにじみの少ない画像を実現可能なインクジェット記録方法に関する。
【0002】
背景技術
インクジェット記録方法は、インク組成物の小滴を飛翔させ、紙等の記録媒体に付着させて印刷を行う印刷方法である。この方法は、比較的安価な装置で高解像度、高品位な画像を高速で印刷可能であるという特徴を有する。
【0003】
インクジェット記録に使用されるインク組成物は、水を主成分とし、これに着色成分および目詰まり防止等の目的でグリセリン等の湿潤剤を含有したものが一般的である。
【0004】
インクジェット記録において重要なことは、良好な印字、具体的にはエッジが鋭くまたは鮮鋭度が高い、そしてヒゲなどの少ない印字が種々の記録媒体において実現できること、とりわけ「普通紙」において実現できることである。ここで「普通紙」とは、広範な多種多様な市販の記録紙、とりわけ静電コピーに用いられる紙を意味する。このような紙は、インクジェットプリンターの用途に最適化された構造、組成、または特性を付与されていない。しかし、最近、普通紙に優れた印字品質を実現できるインクジェットプリンターが益々要求されてきている。
【0005】
また、超浸透性インク組成物と呼ばれる記録媒体への浸透性の高いインク組成物を用いてインクジェット記録を行うことが提案されてきている。浸透性の高いインク組成物を用いることで、乾燥時間を短くし、また少ないインク量で大きなドットを形成してインク消費量を低く抑えることができるとの利点が得られる。一方で浸透性の高いインク組成物は記録媒体にしみこみやすいことから、にじみが生じやすい。
【0006】
【発明の概要】
本発明は、超浸透性インク組成物を用いながらにじみの少ない画像が実現できるインクジェット記録方法の提供をその目的としている。
【0007】
本発明によるインクジェット記録方法は、超浸透性インク組成物と緩浸透性インク組成物とを用いたインクジェット記録方法であって、画像の輪郭部の少なくとも1または2画素を緩浸透性インク組成物により印刷し、他の画像部分を超浸透性インク組成物により印刷することを特徴とするものである。
【0008】
本発明によるインクジェット記録方法によれば、超浸透性インク組成物の利点を享受しながら、にじみの少ない画像を実現することができる。
【0009】
【発明の具体的説明】
インクジェット記録方法
本発明によるインクジェット記録方法を図面を用いて説明する。
図1は、本発明によるインクジェット記録方法によって単一色に印刷されたアルファベットAである。図2は、図1中のSで示された領域の拡大図であり、アルファベットAがインクジェット記録方法によって印字された多数の画素(ドット)によって形成されてなることを示した図である。
【0010】
本発明にあっては、単一色の画像の輪郭部の少なくとも1または2画素、すなわち図中の1のみ、または図中の1および2で示される画素群を緩浸透性インク組成物により印刷する。そして、他の部分、すなわち図中の3で示された画素群を超浸透性インク組成物により印刷する。超浸透性インク組成物によれば、乾燥時間が短く、また少ない少ないインク量で画像画形成できるとの利点を享受できる。一方で、記録媒体ににじみにくい緩浸透性インク組成物により画像領域の輪郭部を形成することで、全体として超浸透性インク組成物の利点を享受しながら、にじみの少ない画像が形成できる。
【0011】
本発明の好ましい態様によれば、画像がブラック画像である場合に、特に画像がブラックキャラクターである場合に、好ましく本発明によるインクジェット記録方法を適用することができる。
【0012】
超浸透性インク組成物および緩浸透性インク組成物
本発明において用いられるインク組成物は、少なくとも着色剤と水とを含んでなる。そして、記録媒体へのその浸透性は、浸透剤の添加によって制御されてよい。インク組成物の浸透性の程度は、表面張力を指標に制御されてよい。そして、本発明による方法に用いられる超浸透性インク組成物は、その表面張力の上限が35mN/m程度であり、より好ましくは33mN/mであり、その下限は25mN/m程度であり、より好ましくは28mN/mである。また、緩浸透性インク組成物は、その表面張力の上限が65mN/m程度であり、より好ましくは50mN/mであり、その下限は40mN/m程度であり、より好ましくは45mN/mである。
【0013】
本発明において利用可能な浸透剤としては、カチオン性界面活性剤、アニオン性界面活性剤、非イオン性界面活性剤、両性界面活性剤等の各種界面活性剤、メタノール、エタノール、iso−プロピルアルコール等のアルコール類、エチレングリコールモノメチルエーテル、ジエチレングリコールモノエチルエーテル、ジエチレングリコールモノブチルエーテル、トリエチレングリコールモノブチルエーテル、プロピレングリコールモノブチルエーテル、ジプロピレングリコールモノブチルエーテル等の多価アルコールの低級アルキルエーテルなどがあげられる。
【0014】
本発明の好ましい態様によれば、浸透剤として下記式(I)で表わされる化合物を添加することが好ましい。
【化1】
(式中、0≦m+n≦50、R1、R2、R3、およびR4は独立してアルキル基である)
【0015】
上記式(I)で表される化合物の代表的なものとして具体的にはオルフィンY、サーフィノール82、サーフィノール440、サーフィノール465、サーフィノール485(いずれも製造:Air Products and Chemicals.Inc.)等がある。これらは単独でまたは2種類以上添加しても良い。
【0016】
本発明の好ましい態様によれば、インク組成物の粘度は1.5mPa・s以上10mPa・s以下の範囲とされるのが好ましい。
【0017】
本発明において用いられるインク組成物に含まれる着色剤としては、染料、顔料のいずれであってもよいが、インク組成物の不溶化あるいは増粘等の作用によって、インク中の着色成分の浸透を抑制する場合は、水性媒体中に溶解している染料よりも分散している顔料の方が有利である。
【0018】
染料としては、直接染料、酸性染料、食用染料、塩基性染料、反応性染料、分散染料、建染染料、可溶性建染染料、反応分散染料、など通常インクジェット記録に使用する各種染料を使用することができる。
【0019】
顔料としては、無機顔料、有機顔料を使用することができる。無機顔料としては、酸化チタンおよび酸化鉄に加え、コンタクト法、ファーネス法、サーマル法などの公知の方法によって製造されたカーボンブラックを使用することができる。また、有機顔料としては、アゾ顔料(アゾレーキ、不溶性アゾ顔料、縮合アゾ顔料、キレートアゾ顔料などを含む)、多環式顔料(例えば、フタロシアニン顔料、ペリレン顔料、ペリノン顔料、アントラキノン顔料、キナクリドン顔料、ジオキサジン顔料、チオインジゴ顔料、イソインドリノン顔料、キノフラロン顔料など)、染料キレート(例えば、塩基性染料型キレート、酸性染料型キレートなど)、ニトロ顔料、ニトロソ顔料、アニリンブラックなどを使用できる。
【0020】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an ink jet recording method capable of realizing an image with less blurring at a contour portion.
[0002]
Background art The inkjet recording method is a printing method in which printing is performed by causing droplets of an ink composition to fly and adhere to a recording medium such as paper. This method has a feature that a high-resolution and high-quality image can be printed at a high speed with a relatively inexpensive apparatus.
[0003]
Ink compositions used for inkjet recording generally contain water as a main component and a coloring component and a wetting agent such as glycerin for the purpose of preventing clogging.
[0004]
What is important in inkjet recording is that good printing, in particular, sharp edges or high sharpness, and printing with few whiskers can be realized on various recording media, especially "plain paper". . Here, “plain paper” means a wide variety of commercially available recording papers, especially papers used for electrostatic copying. Such paper is not imparted with a structure, composition, or properties optimized for inkjet printer applications. Recently, however, there has been an increasing demand for ink jet printers capable of realizing excellent print quality on plain paper.
[0005]
In addition, it has been proposed to perform ink jet recording using an ink composition having a high permeability to a recording medium called a superpermeable ink composition. By using a highly penetrating ink composition, there are advantages in that the drying time can be shortened, and that large dots can be formed with a small amount of ink to reduce the ink consumption. On the other hand, a highly penetrating ink composition is likely to soak into the recording medium, and therefore tends to bleed.
[0006]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide an ink jet recording method capable of realizing an image with less blur while using a superpermeable ink composition.
[0007]
An ink jet recording method according to the present invention is an ink jet recording method using a superpermeable ink composition and a slow penetrating ink composition, wherein at least one or two pixels of the contour portion of an image are formed by the slow penetrating ink composition. Printing is performed, and other image portions are printed with the superpermeable ink composition.
[0008]
According to the ink jet recording method of the present invention, it is possible to realize an image with less blur while enjoying the advantages of the superpermeable ink composition.
[0009]
