A method and an apparatus for digital injket printing of materials, particularly for sheet-like materials such as fabrics and hides. The method consists in arranging the material to be printed on a conveyor that supports the material to be printed on a flat surface and can be actuated in order to produce the advancement of the material to be printed along an advancement direction, in performing digital inkjet printing on one face of the material to be printed by means of at least one printing device, coordinating the actuation of the printing device with the advancement of the material to be printed along the advancement direction.

It is an object of the present invention is to provide fabric for use in ink-jet printing that can prevent not only "ink bleeding", but also "white exposure", "nonuniform coloration" and "back staining". A further object of the present invention is the provision of fabric for use in ink-jet printing, consisting of two textures-napped and ground, which can be evenly ink-jet printed with no variation in color between both, while preventing the occurrence of "white exposure", "nonuniform coloration" and "back staining". Fabric for use in ink-jet printing composed of synthetic fiber or fiber containing synthetic fiber, consisting of two textures-napped and ground, the preparation of which comprises penetration of the ground texture with at least two types of solutions-one containing an ink holding agent of high wettability to synthetic fiber and the other containing an ink holding agent of low wettability to synthetic fiber, and penetration of the napped texture with a solution containing an ink holding agent of high wettability to synthetic fiber (represented as A in the same figure).

A quilting machine (10, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600) is provided with a printing station (20, 125, 225, 325, 425, 525, 611, 626, 631) and a quilting station (44, 127, 227, 327, 427, 527, 627, 632). The printing station is located either in line and preferably upstream of the quilting station, with a conveyor (520) extending through each of the stations to convey a web of quilting material through the machine, or is off of the quilting line such that the material with a pre-applied pattern thereon is transferred, preferably in web form, to the line of the second station for the application of a pattern in registration with the first applied pattern. At the quilting station, registration longitudinal and transverse registration is measured and skewing or rotation of the material is determined. Opposite transverse sides of the material are differently adjusted to orient and register the material. A master batch controller (90, 135, 235, 335, 435, 535) assures that the proper combinations of printed and quilted patterns are combined to allow small quantities of different quilted products to be produced automatically along a material web. Ticking is preprinted with a plurality of different patterns, organized and communicated by the computer so that a print head can scan the material and print different patterns of different panels (32) across the width of a web. Identifying data (40) for matching the panels of a mattress product can be provided in data files printed on the fabric. Cutting and slitting of the panels from each other and the quilting and combining of the panels for assembly of a mattress product can be carried out manually or automatically using the data.

Color, pattern, design, and/or the like is applied by means of a jet dye process, or any other secondary or post pattern application process, including but not exclusively, silk screen printing and rotary printing, etc., to a carpet substrate, where the yarn in the carpet is all white (no dye applied) or where the yarn is pre-dyed with a single or multiple colors or where the yarn is treated chemically. The carpet can, for example, be made with any conventional loom weaving process or hand weaving process, for example Wilton, Axminster, spool, spool gripper, and Chenille looms, hand gun tufted, or any other conventional method.

A method of providing deposits of a functional composition on a textile substrate (1) is described. The method comprises providing a supply of the textile substrate (1); providing a first digital nozzle; supplying a functional composition to the first nozzle; providing a second digital nozzle; supplying an encapsulating composition to the second nozzle; selectively depositing the functional composition from the first nozzle to form a series of functional droplets (10) on the substrate (1); and selectively depositing the encapsulation composition from the second nozzle to form a series of encapsulation droplets (16) to at least partially cover the functional droplets (10). In this way, quantities of highly specific functional compositions or “agents” may be precisely deposited at those locations where they are required and may subsequently be covered by an encapsulation composition.

An apparatus and method for treating a sheet fibrous material to be printed with ink. The apparatus includes a conveyor belt movable along a closed path including an operative section defining a plurality of bends, an inlet station that receives the sheet fibrous material and adheres a first side of the material to an exposed surface of the conveyor belt, a drying station placed at the operative section and configured to at least partially dry the sheet fibrous material, and an applicator for applying a wet treatment agent to the material prior to drying.

A method of producing a textile article having a flame retardant finish comprising: providing a continuous supply of a textile substrate having a width; providing an array of digital nozzles over the width of the textile article; supplying a flame retardant formulation to the nozzles; and selectively dispensing the flame retardant formulation from the nozzles in a series of droplets to deposit a predetermined pattern of droplets on the substrate.

An improved system for application of liquid streams to a substrate. The system incorporates open face flow channels for carrying the liquid away from fully enclosed flow segments prior to discharge along an unconstrained flow path. The present invention further provides an improved, self-aligning modular assembly for delivery of impingement jet to the liquid streams for diverting the direction of the liquid streams. The present invention further provides an improved arrangement for collection of the deflected liquid in response to application of the impingement jet without excess residue build-up.

An image forming method comprising the steps of: forming an image by jetting an ink comprising a high-boiling point solvent onto a textile; and removing the high-boiling point solvent from the image-formed textile by drying the fabric under depressurized condition.
