The Study of the Affect Factors on the Soaping Fastness Resistance of Inkjet Ink

Abstract

This paper is to study factors that affect soaping color fastness of inkjet printing ink. Considering ink as a constant, discuss the affect of curing conditions on soaping fastness by altering curing temperature and curing time. Considering curing condition as a constant, study the affect of other factors on soaping fastness of ink, like particle size, the binder content and varieties of binder. The results show that: the soaping fastness is better when the curing temperature is 180°Cand curing time is 3minites; The smaller the particle size of ink is, the higher the soaping fastness is; the soaping fastness is well when the binder content of ink accounts for 20% of the total. The water-based polyacrylate and water-based polyurethane have the same effects on soaping fastness.
