Chroma is increased, color-to-color bleed is reduced, and edge acuity is increase for dye-based inks by an underprinting technique. A dye-based ink-jet ink printing system is provided, comprising cyan, yellow, and magenta inks, each ink contained in a separate ink pen. Each ink contains at least one water-soluble dye and vesicles. The vesicles are present in an amount sufficient to contain a substantial fraction of dye molecules within the water pool of the vesicles. The vesicles formed from a surfactant having a first polarity. The printing system further comprises an additional pen containing a fixer having a second polarity, opposite to the first polarity. Further, an ink-jet printer that includes the dye-based ink-jet ink printing system is configured to print the fixer on a print medium, followed by printing at least one ink on the fixer. A method for improving chroma, color-to-color bleed, and edge acuity in a dye-based ink-jet ink. The method comprises: (a) providing the above ink set; (b) providing an additional pen containing a fixer having a second polarity, opposite to the first polarity; (c) printing the fixer on a print medium; and (d) printing at least one ink on the fixer.
通过底印技术,提高了染料墨水的色度,减少了色间渗色,并提高了边缘清晰度。提供了一种染料喷墨墨水打印系统,包括青色、黄色和品红色墨水,每种墨水都包含在单独的墨水笔中。每种墨水都包含至少一种水溶性染料和囊泡。囊泡的存在量足以在囊泡的水池中包含相当一部分染料分子。囊泡由具有第一极性的表面活性剂形成。印花系统还包括一支额外的笔,笔中含有具有与第一极性相反的第二极性的固色剂。此外,包括染料喷墨墨水打印系统的喷墨打印机被配置为在打印介质上打印定影剂,然后在定影剂上打印至少一种墨水。一种改善染料喷墨墨水的色度、色间渗色和边缘清晰度的方法。该方法包括:(a) 提供上述墨水组;(b) 提供一支额外的笔,其中包含具有与第一极性相反的第二极性的定影剂;(c) 在打印介质上打印定影剂;(d) 在定影剂上打印至少一种墨水。
