摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for treating liquids used in inkjet recording including, providing a first printing liquid and a second printing liquid that is capable of reacting with the first printing liquid to cause coagulation and thickening if mixed with the first printing liquid, and exposing the first and second printing liquids to each other to form a mixture, wherein when the mixture includes a coagulation-thickening preventing agent which prevents the reaction of the printing liquids.

An ink jet recording apparatus is provided with a recording head that ejects ink droplets, an ink tank that supplies ink to the recording head, a waste ink recovering mechanism that recovers ink droplets ejected from the recording head as waste ink, a waste-ink tank, which is connected to the waste-ink recovering mechanism and stores the waste ink, a diluent tank which is communicated with the waste-ink tank and accommodates a diluent that dilutes the waste ink, and at least one of diluent supplier, that is, one of a first diluent supplier which supplies the diluent in the diluent tank to the waste-ink tank to make the conductivity of the waste ink in the waste-ink tank substantially the same as the conductivity of the ink stored in the ink tank and a second diluent supplier which supplies the diluent in the diluent tank to the waste-ink tank to make the specific gravity of the waste ink in the waste-ink tank substantially the same as the specific gravity of the ink stored in the ink tank. Further, an ink jet recording method uses this ink jet recording apparatus.
摘要:
An ink jet recording device including a recording head for depositing ink on a recording medium and a liquid absorbing device for absorbing excess liquid of the ink remaining on the recording medium after the depositing of the ink on the recording medium using the recording head, wherein the liquid absorbing device includes an absorber including a hydrophilic surface which contacts the excess liquid, and the hydrophilic surface has a residual fine particle ratio of not less than about 90%, the residual fine particle ratio being a ratio of fine particles remaining on the hydrophilic surface when fine particles having an average particle size of 5 μm are filtered by the hydrophilic surface.
摘要:
An ink jet recording ink is provided containing water, a pigment that is self-dispersible in water, a water-soluble organic solvent, and a nonionic polymer of which the amount is preferably in a range of about 5% by mass to about 200% by mass relative to the total mass of the pigments. The nonionic polymer is preferably selected from a group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyacrylamide, poly N-vinyl acetamide, and the like. The absolute value of zeta potential of the ink is preferably in the range of about 5 mV to about 30 mV.
