The era of environmental protection and personalization has become increasingly prominent, and people not only focus on the beauty of the design, but also pay more attention to the quality of the clothing. For inkjet printing, the viscosity and surface tension of ink are major factors that affect the quality of ink-jet printing. In order to obtain a better print quality, the samples of five different viscosity and surface tension of ink were prepared respectively by changing the content of the resin and the surface active agent. Using these samples to print on the fabric by Epson printer, and to discuss the influence of the ink in different viscosity and surface tension on the ink-jet printing quality, such as apparent color depth (K / S), color parameters (L, C), permeability, clarity. The results showed that: with the increase of the ink viscosity, the apparent depth of color yield increased gradually and became darker in color. L value decreased gradually and had a increasing trend, and tends to be stable. C value increased and vividness of the color was improved. And it also had a certain impact on the infiltration resistance and clarity. Surface tension also had a significant impact on the depth of the apparent color, vividness of the color and directly affected the ink permeability and clarity.

The Way

Piezoelectric Inkjet Printing is the main ink-jet printing at present, and drop state will have great influence to ink-jet printing quality, so the ink-jet drop state of edible ink is researched based on piezoelectric inkjet printing. The viscosity of the ink is adjusted by the way of adding different levels of resin, and then the samples which have different viscosity are got. Drop state is observed through drops observatory which installs Spectra Polaris nozzle (35pl), then the speed, volume, tail length and roundness of the drops are measured at certain moment in order to evaluate the influence of viscosity to ink-jet drop state. The result shows that viscosity has big influence to ink-jet drop state, when the viscosity becomes larger, the speed of drops becomes smaller, the variation of volume is not so obvious, the tail length of drops becomes smaller and roundness becomes larger accordingly, until the viscosity is 10mPa•s, the tail length is the smallest and roundness is the biggest, the drop state is the best , when viscosity is bigger than 10mPa•s, the tail length will become bigger and roundness smaller.

The Relationship

Ink jet printing, as the key point of digital printing development, has already got some progress as technical be concerned, and also it has been used in industrial producing. But until now, ink jet printing still has some problems to be solved, include satellite droplet, droplet dimension, and spreading of droplet on substrate and so on. These problems involving parameters include dimension and geometry of the print-head, quality and characteristics of the control signal, surface tension of the ink, viscosity of the ink, characteristics of the substrate surface and so on. In this paper we just analysis the influence of ink surface tension to the process from jet to formation of the droplet by establishing mathematical model, but keep other parameters unchanged. At last, we get the relationship between ink surface tension and droplet parameters, so that it can be used as theoretical basement for print-head design and researching of ink.

The quality of ink-jet printing depends to a large extent on the technical characteristics of the selected equipment and the surface properties of the printed substrates. It is known that for digital printing it is necessary to use expensive paper with a special coating that determines the degree of gloss of the surface. Therefore, ordinary offset papers before ink-jet printing are covered with primers that ensure good fixation of pigment ink or dye on paper, a wide field of color coverage, characteristic gloss, which generally contribute to high quality of imprints. As you can see, the type of the substrate and the state of its surface has a very great influence on the quality of the imprints. Result of the research, it has been confirmed that not only expensive paper of a special purpose can be used for a drop ink-jet digital printing. High-quality color imprints can also be obtained on ordinary offset and coated paper, coated before printing with special primers based on interpolymeric complexes of polyvinyl alcohol, which will provide sufficient optical density, contrast of images, and expand the possibilities of digital ink-jet printing.

The Stability

Edible ink-jet ink is environmental friendly and all of its materials reach the food sanitation standards, so it can be directly printed on the surface of food, medicine and packaging in the way of non-contact ink-jet printing. Due to the acid and alkaline of food surface are different, and the food may experience low or high temperatures and long time exposure in the preserved process, so the stability of the ink is of vital important. Edible ink-jet ink has been prepared through choosing reasonable materials. And then, the performances of the ink such as viscosity, surface tension and pH value have been tested. Finally, the best formula of ink has been determined by evaluating the influence of the ink performances to the ink-jet printing quality. We prepared ink sample based on the best formula and stored it in normal temperature environment which is closed to outside, and evaluated the stability of the ink performance through regularly checking its performance; we evaluated the stability of the ink color under different PH value through adding a little acid-base regulator in it; we also evaluated the stability of the ink color to temperature and light through putting the coating sample in the environment with alternate high and low temperature and in the environment with strong light. The result shows that the stability of the ink is fine, and it can be preserved a month at least without any food preservative. The pH value, temperature and light have no influence to the ink color. So it has a favorable color performance and can be printed on the surface of food.

In the process of the ink drops forming and spreading out, the viscosity and surface tension of the ink play an important role, and then the drops’ injection and printing quality will be influenced by this process. Besides, drops control technology is the key of ink-jet printing technology, and the drops’ injection state will also influence the printing quality. In order to research the influencing factors to printing quality, many samples with different performances are prepared and their drop states include speed, tail length and volume are measured with drop observatory. And then, the specimen pages include lines of different width are printed, order to assessment the printing quality comprehensively, their line width, raggedness, blurriness, density and contrast are measured. The result show that the inks with different performance show different speed, tail length and volume, and their corresponding printing qualities are different too, and there exists linear relationship between printing quality and the drops’ viscosity, surface tension and speed.

The experiment studied effects of paper on the height and glossiness of UV ink-jet 3D printing. The results showed that there all existed penetrations between the 1st ink layer and three kinds of paper, the bigger the roughness and bulk of paper were, the larger the penetration was, and penetration between the 1st ink and paper was obviously larger than that between two ink layers. Penetration between two ink layers was stable, almost not affected by paper. The bigger the roughness and bulk of paper were, the smaller the glossiness of ink layer was. There appeared directional ink strips on ink layer on three kinds of paper, beginning from the 3rd ink layer, there also appeared ink pits on ink layer on paper whose roughness and bulk were the biggest, which showed printer precision was also an important factor for the glossiness, apart from paper. Thus, the tight and smooth paper should be selected in UV ink-jet 3D printing. Before printing, pretreatment should be done to exclude the influence of the 1st ink layer and the ink strips.

The influences of the paper properties on ink-jet printing quality are very complex. In order to predict the printing quality quickly and accurately, it is necessary to establish a mathematical model and an evaluation system, based on which we can estimate the paper used for ink-jet printing is suitable or not. In this paper, five kinds of ink-jet papers with different properties were chosen, and the properties including brightness (X2),gloss(X3),roughness(X4),air permeability(X5) and absorbency(X6), were tested; then ink-jet printing in the same conditions was carried out and different printing parameters were tested, including solid density(D),dot-gain(DG),print contrast(K)and hue(H). Through combining analysis of each single printing quality parameter with some paper properties by using PCA of SPSS, the correlation functions D/DG/K/H(X2, X3, X4, X5, X6) were obtained. Meanwhile, a comprehensive function Y(D, DG, K, H) involving the printing quality parameters was achieved through synthesis data processing of SPSS. This study shows the influences of paper properties on the printing quality parameters and their corresponding weights, and it also proposes a prediction model of paper printability, which can provide a theory reference for printing work in ink-jet printing.
