Printing system and method |
摘要 |
A printing system includes a media transport device to move a medium at a speed ranging from about 15.24 mpm to about 609.6 mpm. The system includes an ink applicator to apply ink on the medium, and a treatment applicator to apply a treatment composition (including liquid vehicle, polyvalent metal salt fixing agent, and latex resin having an acid number less than 20) before or after the ink is applied, to form a printed-on medium. The system further includes a heating system programmed to: i) dry the printed-on medium at a predetermined temperature for a reduced dwell time (from about 1 second to about 40 seconds); and ii) leave residual moisture in the printed-on medium for a predetermined time after the reduced dwell time. The residual moisture is at a level that is higher than an initial moisture content of the medium prior to treatment composition and ink application. |

1. A printing system, comprising:
a media transport device to move a medium at a speed ranging from about 15.24 mpm to about 609.6 mpm; an ink applicator to apply ink on the medium; a treatment applicator to apply a treatment composition on the medium before or after the ink is applied on the medium to form a printed-on medium, the treatment composition including a liquid vehicle, a polyvalent metal salt fixing agent, and a latex resin having an acid number less than 20; and a heating system programmed to: i) dry the printed-on medium at a predetermined temperature for a reduced dwell time ranging from about 1 second to about 40 seconds; and ii) dry the medium such that the residual moisture level in the printed-on medium within 10 seconds of the reduced dwell time ranges from about 3% to about 5% over an initial moisture content of the medium prior to treatment composition and ink application. |
